PREFACE
For many years I have had a strong desire to know more about
the Cantrill family, but not until 1S97 was sufficient data obtained
to furnish a reliable basis for this work. It is published now with
a full knowledge of the many imperfections that will be manifest
to many who read it. Many difficulties have attended the collec-
tion and compilation of the material and at times the work has
been most discouraging.
If some branches of the family have been treated briefly, it is
only owing to the lack of information and meager data furnished
by the descendants.
It is with a deep realization of how impossible it is to make any
History, or Genealogy, of a family entirely perfect, that I now
publish the result of mere than ten years' research. It is probable
that it could be made more complete by waiting and working
longer, but many of those who have been interested in the collec-
tion of the material have already passed away, others are growing
old, and the writer is anxious to put into permanent shape the
information collected, which has never been printed regarding the
Cantrill family before. The Cantrill family is one of the oldest
families in America.
In the course of this work innumerable histories, genealogies
and records have been carefully searched in the Astor and Lenox
Libraries, New York Historical Society, New York Genealogical
Society and Court Records, New York; Brooklyn and Pratt
Libraries, Brooklyn; Boston Library, Historical Society and Court
Records, Boston; Friends' Library, Pennsylvania Historical
Society, Records of old Philadelphia churches and Court Records,
Philadelphia; Pennsylvania State Library. Harrisburg; Court
Records, Westchester, Pa.; Illinois State Library, Springfield;
Congressional Library and Census Department, Washington; and
Court Records in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North Caro-
lina, South Carolina. Tennessee and Virginia. A thorough search
has also been made in London, England, of Court Records and
emigrant lists of the seventeenth century by a reliable English
genealogist. I am also indebted to Rev. Edgar Harlan Kellar and
x PREFACE
Mrs. Francis Hardin FI.^s for searching records at the British
Museum, London.
In finishing this self-imposed task, which has also given me
many hours of pleasure and profit, I wish particularly to express
my appreciation of the encouragement and material help that
has been given me by Mrs. William A. Cantrell, Little Rock, Ark.;
Mrs. James E. Cantrill, Georgetown, Ky.; Miss Mary Cantrell,
McMinnville, Tenn.; Mrs. Laura Cantrell Kinser, Tellico Junction,
Tenn.; Mr. John H. Cantrell, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Mrs. W. W.
Whiteside, Oxford, Ala., and to many others.
Finally, in presenting these facts regarding the history and
genealogy of the Cantrill family which I have been able to collect,
I do so in the hope that they will be an inspiration to every
member of the family to continued patriotism to our country,
and pride in our family.

HISTORY
Origin and Spelling of the Name
The name of Cantrill wherever found can be traced to the origi-
nal family of Chantrell, or Cantrelle, in France.
In "Armorial Generate," by J. B. Rietstap, the name is given
as Chantrell, Cantrelle and Canteral; in "La Grande Encyclo-
pedia/' as Chantrell and Canteral; in "La France Heraldique,"
as Chantrell (de) and Chant re (le), while in " Noblisse Universale,"
by M. L. Yicomte Magny, it is given as Cantrel.
• In "British Family Names," by Henry Barber, the following
appears: "Cantrell (French), Cantrel, Chantrell. The first of the
name in England was William Chantrell, time King John, A. D.
1199."
Mark Antony Lower gives the definition thus: "Cantrill, Can-
trell, from Cantrellus, the little singer."
Charles Waring Bardsley, in his "Dictionary of Surnames,"
says: "Cantrell, Cantrill, one who rang the Chantrelle. Chantrelle,
a small bell. Chanter, to sing."
The name is spelled in various ways, viz: Cantrill, Cantrell,
Cantrall, Cantrelle, Cantril, Cantrel, Cantral, Chantrell and
Chauntrell. The spelling has always been one of personal taste,
even brothers have spelled it differently.
In this book the name is spelled as found in Capt. John
Smith's Works, or as it is spelled by the different branches of the
family.
The earliest records of the family are French. The first mention
of the name outside of France is William Chantrell, who retained
the French spelling of the name, in England in time of King John.
The Family in Exgland
From the twelfth to the fifteenth century the name appears in
English records from time to time, and after that time appears
many times in England and Ireland, as well as in France, usually
spelled Chantrell, Cantrill or Cantrell.
xii THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
William Chantrell, temp King John, was probably the first of
the name in England.
In the "History of Melbourne, County Derby," second edition,
(no date), page 175, by J. J. Briggs, the author says:
"The Cantrells were a very ancient family and are supposed to
have been located at Kings Newton about five hundred years.
By deeds still extant in the family, we find that they possessed
lands there as early as the reign of Henry V, about 1413. Other
deeds and surveys also show that they were considerable landed
proprietors during the reigns of Henry V, Henry VI, Edward V,
Edward VI and Henry VII."
From the "History of Cheshire," by Ormeod, we learn that the
Chantrells were possessed of lands in Cheshire as early as 1412,
and in this History the pedigree is given of John Cantrell, 1424
(taken from the "Plea Recog Rolls "), with the same coat-of-arms
that is given later in the " Visitation of Cheshire, " 1580, of Chan-
trell of Bache; " Visitation of Suffolk," 1612, of Cantrell of Bury
St. Edmunds and " Visitation of Berkshire," 1664, of Cantrill of
Wokingham.
Various histories of Cheshire have a great many records, cover-
ing a period from 1422-1558, showing that the family of Chantrell
was a prominent one and that they were large landed proprietors,
and speaking of the family as a very ancient one.
The name is enrolled in English records as patriots, soldiers,
sailors, college graduates, schoolmasters, barristers, writers, rectors
and vicars of the Church of England.
Hugo Chantrell was an archer in the retinue of Lord Grey of
Codner at the Battle of Agincourt, 1415.
John Chantrell received special favors from the Prince of Wales
in 1460 for good service at the Battle of Bloreheth.
Ralph Cantrill was Vicar of Chesterfield in Derbyshire in
1461.
William Cantrell, a Master in His Majesty's Navy, particularly
distinguished himself at Trencomale in the East Indies, Decem-
ber 16, 1747, on an occasion where few would perhaps have shown
the same contempt of danger. In bringing powder from the maga-
zine one of the boats blew up and a large firebrand fell blazing into
another boat, in which were forty-five barrels of powder, covered
only by a sail; it stove one of the barrels and must inevitably have
sent all the people employed into the air, had not Mr. Cantrell
taken the burning brand from the powder, thrown it overboard,
HISTORY xiii
quenched the remains of the fire on the sail and restored all to
safety.
There are many interesting records in Derbyshire of the Can-
trell, or Cantrill, family (as the name is alternately spelled), which
was closely identified with St. Alkmund's Church for over a cen-
tury. St. Alkmund's Church is supposed to have been founded
as early as the ninth century, and is undoubtedly the oldest church
in Derby. In the Register of this church is an autobiography of
John Cantrell, minister and schoolmaster, covering a period from
1627 to 1656. John Cantrell had a son Simon Cantrell, who was
the father of Henry Cantrell, a miscellaneous writer and Vicar of
St. Alkmund's for fifty years, in whose honor there is a flag within
the Commune Rails of the church. There is a tablet on the south
wall of the chancel of the same church to William Cantrell. a son
of Henry, who was Rector many years of St. Michael's in the bor-
ough of Stamford, and in the county of Lincoln, and in the county
of Rutland.
There are also many interesting records of the Suffolk branch
of the family. Ralph Cantrell, Gentleman, of Thorpe Hall, Hem-
ingstone, county Suffolk, was Scribe to the Bishop (Lord of
Norwich, 1519-79), and his pedigree is given in the " Visitation
of Suffolk/' 1612, and of Berkshire, 1664. Of his sons many
records are found, one was William Cantrell, regarding whom
we learn, from the ''Antiquities of the County Suffolk," Vol. 1
page 118:
"Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, whom Queen Elizabeth beheaded,
having in 1556 put his vast estates in trust to William Cantrell
and others, the Queen allowed him to continue to act as Trustee
until she sent the Earl of Arundel to the Tower, when she ap-
pointed William Cantrell to act for herself. (Thomas, Duke of
Norfolk, in Bury St. Edmund's, County Suffolk.) "
Another history speaks of him as follows:
"Mr. William Cantrell, of Hemingstone, a gentleman of fortune
and consequence in the reigns of King Henry Mil and Queen
Elizabeth, who distinguished him with marks of royal favor and
confidence. In the parish church of Hemingstone. St. Gregory's,
there is an ancient mural monument to his memory, and the fol-
lowing epitaph:
" Man here thou mayst entombed see,
A man of honest fame,
xiv THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
Come home to earth, who in this life,
Bare William Cantrell's name.
A gentleman in birth, in life,
In office and degree,
Now wrapped in clay; then think O man
What will become of thee.
This William Cantrell feoffee was
With others put in trust,
Regarded well for virtuous life,
Wise, sober, true and just,
Even of the whole revenue of
That mighty prince of late,
Late Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, hisrht,
Some time of high estate."'
Thomas Cantrell, brother of William, was the father of Ralph
Cantrell, of Hemingstone, who was knighted March 11, 1623.
The Coat-of-Arms
There is a great diversity of opinion among authorities as to
the time that coat-of-arms became hereditary. The majority
give the twelfth century, though a few give a still earlier date.
= In 1482, Richard III incorporated the Heralds' College, or Col-
lege of Arms. On the establishment of the Heralds' College period-
ical visitations of the different counties were directed to take cog-
nizance of the Arms, Pedigrees and Marriages of the Nobility and
Gentry of England. In the Heralds' Visitations of the counties of
Cheshire, Suffolk, Norfolk. Berkshire and Derbyshire, pedigrees
are given of Chantrells, Cantrells and Cant rills as belonging to
the gentry, and all bearing the same coat armor.
The ancient Cantrell coat-of-arms was:
Argent, A Pelican in her piety, Sable.
Crest A Tower, Argent.
The Pelican was one of the first emblems used in Heraldry; its
simplicity would indicate that it is very ancient. One of the earli-
est works published on Heraldry says:
"The Pelican was by Egyptians made the hieroglyphic, of ma-
ternal affection, for she, when her young ones had been bitten by
serpents, that secretly invade their nest, launces her bosom and
HISTORY xv
with the purple balsom that streams from the opened sluice not
only expells the infused venom, but likewise cements and cures
the wounds inflicted by the noxious adversaries."
Another old history gives the following:
" Pelican. The Egyptian priests used the Pelican for a hiero-
glyphic to express the four duties of a father toward his children,
whereof the first is Generation; second is his office of Education;
third of Training up, or Instruction of Learning; and the fourth
and last, the Duty of Informing his children with the Example of
his Virtuous and Honest Life."
" Webster's International Dictionary " says:
"Pelican in her Piety (in heraldry and symbolical art), a repre-
sentation of a Pelican in the act of prodding her breast, in order
to nourish her young with her blood, a practice fabulously attrib-
uted to the bird, on account of which it was adopted as a symbol
of the Redeemer and of charity."
The Family in Ireland
There seems to be a well-founded tradition in the Irish branch
of the family that the first Cantrells in Ireland were French Hu-
guenots, who fled from France at the time of the St. Bartholomew
Massacre (1572).
Probably the first of the name to go from England into Ireland
was Godfrey Cantrell, who moved from Leicester with his family
in 1655 to Queens county. His name appears from 1661 to 1669
among the names of persecuted Quakers in that county, and in
the latter year the name of John Cantrell also appears in the same
lists. That this family were Quakers is also confirmed by the
purchase in 1677 from the Xew Jersey Quakers of a small parcel
of land by Godfrey Canterell, who sold it in 16S2. apparently
without ever having set foot on American soil, as the transactions
are given as having taken place at Rosenalis, Queens county,
Ireland, and there is no record of his ever having lived in America.
In America
The name first appears in America in 1608 at Jamestown,
^a-> and since that time there have been eight, possibly more,
distinct families of Cantrill, Cantrell and Cantrelle, who have
come to this country from England, Ireland and France.
xvi THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
The first permanent settlement of English-speaking people on
the American continent was made at Jamestown, Va., in April,
1607. The histories of all the older nations begin with a fable,
or some mythological story, which shrouds their real birth in
mystery, but the American Republic can trace its genesis to a
definite place.
Captain John Smith was the leading man in this first settlement,
and history records many daring adventures of this man, who was
by nature so well fitted to be a leader of the band of courageous
young men, who went from England to this new and unconquered
world. Here in the wilderness of an unexplored continent, al-
ready inhabited by another and a savage race, great deeds were
performed and events transpired that were more thrilling and
impressive than any ever told in poetry or prose. Every hardship
common to human life was met by the men who founded this first
Colony and many lives were lost in the struggle; but before the
settlements at either Plymouth, or New Amsterdam, were effected
they had planted the seed from which has sprung not only the
nation, but its form of government. Before 1620, when the second
permanent settlement was made at Plymouth, the Virginia Colony
had established a number of villages and trading posts; had built
homes and churches; established courts and tried the accused by
jury. They had cultivated the land and started a commercial
career which was not confined to the Colony, as they were already
exporting their produce to England.
Above all, they had convened a legislative assembly, whose
members were elected by popular suffrage and who passed laws
governing the Colony. This was the beginning of free government
in America. The government of the United States by a President,
Senate and House of Representatives shows that the ideas put
into the Great Charter of the Virginia Company have left their
mark on the Constitution of our country and the laws of all our
States show traces of the same ideas.
The spirit of adventure and love of travel shown by the first of
the name to come to America has been shown by many others of
the name since 160S. From 160S to 1639 the name appears in
Virginia records and after that date is found in other and newer
settlements during that century.
There is a tradition in the family that the Cantrills went up the
Delaware from the cast shore of Virginia, but it has not been
possible to verify this from the incomplete and fragmentary
HISTORY xvii
records. About four thousand Virginians were among the first
settlers of Maryland and others were scattered along the Dela-
ware into Pennsylvania before William Penn arrived there.
There is documentary proof that the family were in Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Massachusetts before 1700; but,
unfortunately, the relation, if any, that existed between them has
not been established in the same way. Nor has it been possible
to find the exact years in which they moved from settlement to
settlement during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Before the Revolution, however, branches of the family had left
Pennsylvania and settled in western Virginia and the Carolinas.
It is probable that those who went to the Carolinas migrated with
the little bands of Baptists, as they had become identified with
the Mother Baptist church, the Old Welsh Tract of New Castle
county, Pennsylvania, and this church sent many branches out
into Virginia and the Carolinas about this time. In western
Virginia at this time there were but two churches, i. e., the Church
of England, which was the first established in the Colony, and the
Presbyterian, which sprung into prominence when a large emigra-
tion of Scotch-Irish settled there about 1750; to the latter church
this branch of the family went, and it is a significant fact that to
this day descendants of the family in the Carolinas are almost all
identified with the Baptist church, while those of the branch who
settled in western Virginia became prominently connected with
the Presbyterian. In England the family were almost all members
of the Church of England, and as noted previously were rectors and
vicars in that church. In America they became members of vari-
ous religious organizations, being in many instances organizers
and founders of churches in different localities of the Baptist,
Presbyterian, Methodist, Christian and Episcopal denominations,
and have furnished many church officers and ministers to them.
To-day members of the family are found in almost every religious
denomination.
It is hard to realize the dangers and difficulties that beset our
ancestors in their migrations. from settlement to settlement during
their early history, and the early history of this country, as there
is nothing in the ease and luxury of modern travel to suggest even
remotely the discomforts they had to endure. Before steamboats,
or railroads, were known several generations of the name had
found their way by waterways, or along buffalo, or Indian trails
from tide water in Virginia to Pennsylvania; back to the moun-
xviii THE CANTRILL-OANTRELL GENEALOGY
tains of western Virginia and to the plantations of the Carolinns;
west over the mountains into eastern Tennessee and the Blue
Grass region of Kentucky and from there to the rolling land of
Ohio and Indiana and the wide prairies of Illinois and Iowa.
What courage and daring did both men and women possess to
venture forth into the unknown land. They knew the country
was full of wild animals and savage red men; that the very paths
they so often followed were made by them and that all sorts of
danger would be encountered. We read of boats, crude and primi-
tive, by which they traversed the waterways; of caravans, some-
times small, sometimes, however, containing as many as fifty
Conestoga wagons, in which the older men, women and small
children rode, and the household goods were carried, while the
younger members of the families travelled on horseback. In some
of these migrations the trails were so rough that pack horses alone
could carry the people to their new homes in the wilderness.
Ever}r man carried a gun, or rifle, and in those days women also
well knew how to use firearms, for when the men were off on
hunting expeditions, their living largely depended on the game
they shot, or were at work in the fields, the women and children
were never free from the danger of a sudden raid from the In-
dians.
Into the history of many states is woven the life history of many
thousands of the name of Cantrill and to-day representatives of the
family can be found in almost every state and territory. In the
South they have been planters, in the West, farmers, and every-
where merchants, teachers, ministers, physicians, lawyers, judges,
bankers, city, county and state officials, but to the credit of the
name let it be said, we have never found anywhere a single
criminal.
The Cantrills have always been patriots, as well as pioneers.
In every great crisis from Colonial times down: in the Indian Wars;
the War for American Independence; the War of 1S12; the Mexi-
can War; the Black Hawk War; the Civil War and the Spanish
War the muster rolls have been full of the name ever fighting for
what they deemed right. A long Roll of Honor they make of
soldiers and officers in our history.
The most prominent characteristics in the family are honesty
and courage. As a rule they are unassuming, conservative and
quiet in their manner. Many of the men are described as tall,
being over six feet in height, with Grecian nose, blue-grey eyes
HISTORY xix
and light brown hair, and many are said to be strikingly handsome,
or fine looking men.
Cantrills in America in the Seventeenth Century
WILLI AM CANTRILL, Gentleman, arrived at Jamestown,
Va., April 20, 1608, by the ship Phenix. (The name is spelled
both Cantrill and Cantrell in all the early Virginia histories.)
Captain John Smith's "Historie of the Settlement of Virginia,"
tells us that the ship Phenix, commanded by Capt. Francis
Nelson, left England in the fall of 1607; that Captain Nelson was
"an honest and expert Mariner, but such was the leewardness of
his Ship that he had to put in at the West Indies for repairs, wood
and water," and did not reach Jamestown until the following
Spring. A full list of the passengers of the Phenix is given in this
book.
The vessels used in those days bore no resemblance to the pala-
tial ocean steamers of to-day; they were small, clumsy and slow
and there is little wonder that the people who embarked on them
were afraid to venture straight across the great unknown sea.
The route, via the Canary Islands and the West Indies, which
they then took, made the distance almost twice as long and with
good luck the passage was made in four months. With a series of
mishaps, the Phenix took six months for the trip from England
with the first supplies and people sent to Capt. John Smith,
to aid him in the exploration and settlement of Virginia.
References are made to the "writings of William Cantrill," and
early histories tell us that he was one of the fourteen, who on
June 2, 1608, accompanied Capt. John Smith on his "discoverie
of Chesapeake Bay." "Cantrill's Point" was named for the dis-
coverer and was "betwixt the Patawomuk and Pamuke," now
the Fotomac and Rappahannock rivers.
Henning's " Statutes, or the Laws of Virginia" records the sub-
scription of William Cantrill to the Second Virginia Charter (the
t.reat Charter), dated May 23, 1609.
From "Genesis of the United States," by Alexander Brown:
"William Cantrel (Gentleman), 2, Sub. Pd. £12.-10/ Ex-
planation the figures 1, 2, 3, immediately after the name indicate
that the person was an Incorporator of the First, Second and Third
Virginia Charter. Sub. subscribed, and is followed by the amount
and whenever it was paid, Pd. paid."
xx THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
In "The names of the Adventurers of Virginia alphabetically
set down according to a printed Booke, Set out by the Treasurer
and Council in the present yeare, 1620," the name of William
Cantrill, Gentleman, appears.
In MSS of Court Proceedings in Virginia, which are the records
of the London Company of Virginia, from April 28, 1619, to Jan-
uary 27, 1624, we note: "At a Quarter Court held for Virginia in
the afternoon of July 3, 1622, among those present Mr. Cantrill."
Bishop Mead speaks of William Cantrill in connection with Rev.
Mr. Robert Hunt, first minister to Virginia, and it has been sug-
gested by one writer that it is probable that "William Cantrill
was present at the baptism and marriage of Pocahontas."
The Arms William Cantrill brought with him from England to
America was: "Argent, A Pelican in her Piety, Sable," and a North
Carolina Cantrell of to-day claims to have seen this coat-of-arms
carved in the stock of an ancient gun there.
It is impossible to secure full information and data regarding
the family in Virginia at this period, owing to the destruction of
records during the various wars, but traditions in the family are
more or less corroborated by the history of the country.
HENRY CANTRELL, according to "Robinson's MSS" ad-
ministered the oath to men of experience and dignity, who were
appointed as Inspectors of the tobacco crops and was a Justice
in Charles City county, Va., in 1639.
Owing to the incomplete Virginia records, it has been impossible
to find anything concerning the families or history of either Wil-
liam or Henry Cantrill, or whether either left descendants.
A thorough search of all lists of emigrants to the American
Colonies in the seventeenth century, both in England and America,
has failed to reveal more than two arrivals in that century in
America, i. e., William Cantrill, ship Phenrx, at Jamestown, Va.,
160S, and John Chantrell, ship Speedwell, at Boston, Mass., 1666.
JOHN CHANTRELL arrived from England on ship Speedwell,
at Boston, in 1666. His wife's name was Mary. This family were
living in Boston as late as 1697 and after that there is no trace of
them.
Their chil'fren were:
John, b. Feb. 1672.
Marj-, b. 1073; m. Thomas Marshall, June IS, 1697.
Joseph, m. Annie Gardner, Dec. 13, 1697.
Emma, b. Apr. 15, 1678.
Dean, b. Nov. 1, 16S6.
HISTORY xxi
JOHN CANTRELL, living in St. John's parish, Island of Ja-
maica, 1670, owned twenty-one ncre^ of land there, according to
State Papers, Colonial Series, America and West Indies.
WILLIAM CANTRILL appears in a list of soldiers in "King
Philip's War," by George M. Dodge, as a member of the crew of
the ship Swanne, August 20, 1675. Further research showed
that the ship Swanne was used for the transportation of merchan-
dise between the Massachusetts and Virginia Colonies, and was
pressed into service during the war.
ANN CANTERILL, in a list of two hundred who went from
Virginia to Somerset county, Md., October, 1675.
RICHARD CANTRILL, in Philadelphia, Pa., 16S9, whose de-
scendants are given fully in this work.
JOSEPH CANTRILL. a nephew of Richard Cantrill, was
drowned in the Schuykill river May 10, 16S9. In a petition made
to Governor Blackwell by Richard Cantrill for letters of adminis-
tration to the small estate of Joseph Cantrill, it is set forth that
Richard Cantrill is an uncle and nearest of kin in the province to
Joseph, but that Joseph Cantrill has older and younger brothers
in Derbyshire, England.

RICHARD CANTRILL
1. RICHARD CANTRILL was a resident of Philadelphia, Pa.,
prior to 16S9. In July, 1G89, he was appointed administrator of
the estate of Joseph Cantrill, an unmarried nephew, who was
drowned in the Schuylkill river May 10, 16S9.
It has been impossible to find records to prove the parentage,
or birthplace, of Richard Cantrill, but there is no doubt that he
came from the Derbyshire branch of the English family. His name
does not appear in any list of emigrants and he may have been a
descendant of William, or Henry Cantrell, of Virgnia. Fisher
says, in his "Making of Pennsylvania," that "quite a number of
Virginians migrated from that Colony to the Banks of the Dela-
ware before the settlement of Philadelphia by Penn, in 1678,
under the rule of the Duke of York."
From " Pennsylvania Archives," Vol. XIX:
" At a meeting of the Commissioners, 6th of July, 1692. Present
Captain William Markham, Robert Turner, John Goodson, . . .
Richard Cantrill requesting a warrant for a lot of 30 ft. upon
Third Street, near the Burying Ground, was granted."
From Original Records, Deed Book D, 53, page 50: "Richard
Cantrill to Thomas Hall, Sold 30 ft. x 190 ft. May 13, 1093, Third
and Market Streets."
In Patent Book A, Vol. II, page 344, there is a lease for twenty-
one years (May 5, 1702) made by Edward Shippen, Griffith Owen
and James Logan, as Proprietary and Governor in Chief of
Pennsylvania and Territories thereunto belonging ... of a . . .

"Certain tract of land between Fifth and Sixth streets contain-
ing three acres and sixty perches" (here follows a full description
by metes and bounds) "to Richard Cantrill, Brickmaker, with all
woods and underwood and trees, ways, waters, water courses,
•liberties, profits, commodities, advantages and opportunities
whatsoever." The rental was forty shillings per year, "current
silver money of the Province." . . . "Said Richard Cantrill shall
build, erect and set up a substantial brick house one story and a

orchard upon some part of the hereby granted land, with at least
eighty good bearing apple trees planted thereon, and shall also
well and sufficiently fence and enclose the said demised land."
In " Pennsylvania Archives " we find:

10 month, 1701. Rich, return 3 acres, 3 month 1702."
Later the Archives record a "Caveat against surveying of land
adjoining Richard Cantrill's estate, issuing to the heirs, or execu-
tors of the said Richard Cantrill, or any under him, May 31, 1753."
No record could be found of the disposition of the estate of
Richard Cantrill, either by his heirs or executors, but he evidently
died prior to May 31, 1753.
There is a tradition common in the family that the first Cantrill
in Philadelphia had a brick yard and built the first brick house
in that city. Records show that "the first brick house built in
Philadelphia was owned by Robert Turner in 16S4-5," and in the
same year Richard Cantrill's brother-in-law, Daniel Pegge, also
built a brick residence on "Pegge's Run." It is possible that
Richard Cantrill had the contract for erecting both of these houses,
which would easily account for the tradition in the family.
In about 1693 Richard Cantrill married Dorothy Jones, daugh-
ter of Ellis and Jane Jones, who came to America from either
Flint, or Denbigh, Wales, in the ship Submission, Sept., 16S2.
From the Log of the Submission:
"Ellis Jones, age -15, Jane Jones, age 40,
Barbara Jones, age 13, Mary Jones, age 12,
Dorothy Jones, age 10, Isaac Jones, age 4 mos."
The " Pennsylvania Historical Magazine," in a list of names of
"Important Colonists, who came in the Submission," mentions
Ellis Jones. He was a resident of Bucks county, 16S4, but did
RICHARD CANTRILL 5
not remain there long, and in the Welsh Tract Purchases his name
appears as having purchased one hundred acres in Nantonell
parish, Radnor. Barbara Jones married Daniel Pegge, of " Pegge's
Run;" Mary Jones married her cousin Isaac Jones, and Dorothy
Jones married Richard Cant rill.
Ellis Jones and his family were Quakers and as Richard Can-
trill belonged to the Church of England, Richard and Dorothy
were married, to use a Quaker term, " Out of Meeting."
Dorothy Jones Cantrill seems to have been a young lady of
considerable spirit and independence of character. She not only
married the man of her choice, irrespective of her religious train-
ing, but later evidence is found of her love of gayety and society
in an old history of Philadelphia, where she figured at a masquer-
ade ball, much to the horror of her more quiet Quaker friends.
She seems to have inherited her love of society from her mother,
for the name of Jane Jones appears as a witness to the marriage
of a great many Quakers of her day, and the Quaker weddings
were probably the principal events affording those of that sect
an expression to their social instinct.
The will of Jane Jones, relict of Ellis Jones, executed at Phila-
delphia, Aug. 3, 1730, and recorded at Philadelphia. Dec. 27, 1732,
mentions her grandchildren: " Zebulon Cantril, Joseph Cantril,
and Dorothy Cantril," to each of whom she bequeaths: "One
English shilling, or the value of it in coyn current."
Children of Richard and Dorothy Cantrill:

parents Richard and Dorothy Cantrill."

THE DESCENDANTS OF
JOSEPH CANTRILL
OF PHILADELPHIA
3. JOSEPH CANTRILL2 (Richard1) was born about 1695
in Philadelphia, Pa., and spent his early boyhood in that city.
Married Catharina . They were living in New Castle
county, Pa., on or near the site of the present city of Wilmington,
Del., and were attendants at Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church
before 1720. It is probable that Catharina was a daughter of one
of the Old Swedes, first settlers of this section, but we could not
verify this. Their first three children were baptized at the old
historic church still used and known as Old Swedes, which is one
of the oldest and quaintest churches in this country.
Christina parish was mostly situated on both sides of Christina
creek, partly on both sides of Brandywine creek in New Castle
county, and in the Hundreds of New Castle, Christina and Brandy-
wine. It stretched two Swedish miles in length and one in breadth.
The most remote families of the parish were not more than six
and a half English miles distant from the church. The city of
"Wilmington is built on the Swedish " church land" and the charter
for the town was granted in 1735. At the time Joseph Cantrill
went there it was known as Christina.
Many of the earliest records of this locality have been lost, or
destroyed, and at best are very incomplete. There is evidence,
however, from the scattered records in New Castle county to-day,
that descendants of Richard Cantrill lived there from before 1720
until 1797, though the majority moved south during this period.
Children:
6. i. Hannah, b. Mar. 20, 1720; bapt. Apr. 25, 1720, at Old Swedes.
7. * ii. John.
8. *iii. Joseph.
9. *iv. Zebuton.
10. * v. Isaac.
11. vi. A daughter (name unknown).
8 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
7. JOHN CANTRELL3 (Joseph,2 Richard l) was born in New
Castle .county, Pa. (now Delaware), Oct., 1724, and baptized in
Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) church Mar. 25, 1726. He was married
twice. His first wife was Brittian, by whom he had seven-
teen sons; his second wife was Jane , by whom he had four
sons and two daughters. We have heard from several that there
were a number of twins in this large family. He died in 1S03 and
his sons Abraham, Stephen and Moses administered upon his
estate.
There are many traditions in the family regarding John Cantrell
and his family and their moving to the Carolinas, but the exact
date of his leaving New Castle county is not known. It is known,
however, that he was living in Rockingham county, or what is
now that county, North Carolina, before the Revolutionary War,
and shortly after the war he moved to Ninety Six District, now
Spartanburg county, S. C, where he owned over eight hundred
acres of land on Buck creek, waters of Pacolet river.
John Cantrell and his family were devoted and active workers
in the Buck creek Baptist church and some of his descendants
still attend this old church.
There is no reliable authority for a correct tabulation for any
but the first three of the children of John Cantrell and we have
endeavored to make the list correct from records, rather than from
lists furnished from memory bv his descendants.

12. ABRAHAM CANTRELL4 (John,3 Joseph,2 Richard1)
was born in New Castle county, Pa., about 1744. He married
DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH2 CANTRILL 9
twice, but we have been unable to learn the names of his wives. It
is not unreasonable to suppose, however, that his second wife was
a Watson. It has also been impossible to get a complete list of his
children, but we secured the lines of four of his sons: the first
three named were brothers and the fourth a half-brother.
Abraham Cantrell went with his parents to North Carolina and
served in the Revolutionary War from the Salisbury district.
His name appears on the pay rolls of North Carolina soldiers in
the auditor's office at Raleigh. Tradition says that he was a cap-
tain and this is probably true, as he received more pay than others
on the list.
After the Revolution he moved with his family to Spartanburg
county, S. C. The first record of him in that county is in the First
United States Census (1790), where he is given as a head of a
family, having two sons over sixteen years of age, two sons under
sixteen and a daughter.
In 1792 he purchased 192 acres of land on Buck creek. In 1803
he was one of the administrators upon the estate of his father. He
died in South Carolina.
Children:

33. ABRAHAM CANTRELL5 (Abraham,4 John,3 Joseph,2
Richard l) was probably the eldest son of Abraham and one of the
sons "Over sixteen years of age" mentioned in the First Census,
1790. He married Sarah Durham in Spartanburg county, S. C.
In 1S13 he seems to have disposed of all his property in that state
and moved to Tennessee, as he received a grant of land in 1814,
which is recorded at Sparta, White county, Tenn.
In the ten years following the War of 1S12 a large number of
Cantrells moved from the Carolinas to Tennessee, Georgia and
Alabama.
In 1S24 he received a grant of land on Sink creek, Warren
county, which is recorded at McMinnville, Tenn.

sponding Secretary of the Cantrell Reunion Committee, dated
Aug. IS, 1907, in response to the invitation to go to Jamestown
Exposition, to the Reunion of the Cantrell Family, Sept. 5, 1907.
"My dear kinsman:
"Through the kindness of my father, Mr. T. A. Cantrell, I am
apprised of the meditated convention of all the members of the
Cantrell family in the United States, at Jamestown, September 5,
1907.
"Now, it has been said that 'pity makes the whole world akin,'
DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH2 CANTRILL 29
and, if this virtue of compassion has the property of uniting those
of every rank and station, how much more so should ties of blood
bind the hearts of those, whom Divine Providence has called to
one and the same family, with the golden chain of love and loyalty.
No words can better express this than those that support our
escutcheon: 'Proprio Vos Sanguine Pasco.' May God, in His
sweet mercy, make us as loyal to Him as to our own. He should
come first, and, when this is so, it but intensifies our affection for
those whom He has given us. As a proof of this, I write this little
note of felicitation to those who will be assembled so near my
cloistered home. By the vows of my profession, I am prevented
from being personally present at the gathering, which, I trust,
will prove all that it is desired to be.
"Extend to all my best love and well wishes, for I consider
myself still a member of that family, whose spiritual and temporal
interests are ever dear to my heart, and whose well being I daily
solicit at the Altar of the Most High. Also, a most cordial recep-
tion awaits each and every member visiting our Monastery on
Park Avenue, which is now my home, and, since it is impossible
for us all to be together in this world, may it please our Divine
Lord to grant us a glorious reunion in a blissful eternity. May
God bless you!
"In the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
"Yours most sincerely,
"Sister Mary Cecilia Cantrell, of the
"Visitation Blessed Virgin Mary.
"God be praised!"

14. JACOB CANTRILL4 (John,3 Joseph,2 Richard J) was born
in New Castle county, Pa. (now Delaware). Went with his parents
to North Carolina, where he married Mary and died in
Orange county in 1790.
Orange county was created in 1751; from it was taken Guilford
county in 1770, and Caswell county in 1777, while Rockingham
county was taken from Guilford in 17S5. If the reader will bear
these dates in mind, the records from the various counties in North
Carolina of the family will be better understood.
Jacob Cantrill served in the War for American Independence
from the Hillsboro district, and his name is on the pay roll at
Raleigh.
His will was made in 1782, and probated in Orange county,
N. C, in 1790. In this year Man', widow of Jacob Cantrill, was
taxed in Orange county, on 442 acres of land and two slaves. In
1798 she moved, with her family, to Green county, Kentucky,
where she died.
WILL OF JACOB CANTRILL
"In the name of God; Amen, I Jacob Cantrill, of the County of
Orange and Province of North Carolina, being in a low state of
health, but of perfect sense and memory, thanks be to Almighty
God for the same, but calling to mind the mortality of my body
and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make
and ordain this my last Will and Testament, that is to say princi-
pally and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands
of Almighty God that gave it, and my body I recommend to the
earth, to be buried in a decent Christian burial, at the discretion
of my Executors, nothing doubting but at the general ... I
shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God.

"And as touching such worldly Estate, wherewith it has pleased
God to bless me in this life, I give, demise, and dispose of the same
in the following manner and form,
"First, I give and bequeath to my eldest daughter Martha Can-
trill, one brown mare, three years old, known by the name of
Bonny; one woman's saddle, one feather bed and furniture and
likewise one cow and calf, to her and her heirs and assigns forever.
"Also, I give and bequeath to my daughter, Jane Cantrill, one
horse and woman's saddle, worth fifteen pounds, old trade, one
feather bed and furniture and likewise one cow and calf, to her and
her heirs forever.
"Also, I give and bequeath to my daughter Hannah Cantrill,
one horse and woman's saddle, worth fifteen pounds, old trade,
one feather bed and furniture and likewise one cow and calf, to
her and her heirs forever.
"Also, I give and bequeath to my daughter, Sarah Cantrill,
one horse and woman's saddle, worth fifteen pounds, old trade,
one feather bed and furniture, and likewise one cow and calf to
her and her heirs forever.
"Also, I give and bequeath to my daughter, ousannan Cantrill,
one horse and woman's saddle, worth fifteen pounds, old trade,
one feather bed and furniture, and likewise one cow and calf, to
her and her heirs forever.
"Imprimis, I lend to my well beloved wife, Mary Cantrill, during
her widowhood, the plantation whereon I now live, with all the
land thereunto belonging, and likewise my three negroes, viz:
Sam, Cate and Billy, and likewise all the rest of my estate, be it of
what kind of quality soever, and at her death, if she dies my
widow, that I leave that part of my estate so lent, to be equally
divided between my three sons, Zebulon Cantrill, Thomas Cantrill
and Joseph Cantrill; but, if in case my widow should intermarry,
my will and desire is that that part of my estate so lent, should be
appraised by two persons chosen by my Executors, whom I shall
hereafter appoint, and if my widow and the person she intermar-
ries, will give bond with sufficient security for the sum of money
that arises from the appraisement of that part of my estate to
my three sons before named, to be paid at the decease of my wife,
it shall continue in their hands. If they refuse to give such bond
ancj, security, my desire is that, at my widow's intermarriage, that
that part of my estate which is lent her, be taken out of her hands
and divided equally between my three sons before named.

471. THOMAS CANTRILL5 (Jacob4 John,3 Joseph,2 Rich-
ard1) was born Apr. 4, 1775, in Orange county, N. C, where he
married Elizabeth Murray, Feb. 13. 1795, daughter of John and
Jean Murray. She was born Sept. 19, 1774. John Murray was
born in Pennsylvania and served in the War for American Inde-
pendence from North Carolina, where his father and Uncle Rob-
ert Murray had moved from Pennsylvania with their families,
42 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
previous to the Revolution. Robert Murray moved to New York
City with his family later and it is from this family that the name
is perpetuated in that city by Murray street, and Murray Hill.
The Murray family were descended from a junior branch of the
Philiphaugh (Selkirkshire) and Atholl family, of Perthshire,
Scotland.
Thomas Cantrill, with his wife, mother and a number of others
of the family, moved from North Carolina in 1798 to Green county,
Ky. In 1828 he and his family followed his eldest son, William,
to Sangamon county, 111., where he settled on a farm three and a
half miles east of Springfield, which is in possession of one of his
grandsons and family to-day. His wife died Oct. 1, 1S36, and two
days later, Oct. 3, 1S3G, he died; both are buried in the family
plot on the farm where they spent the last years of their lives.
He was a man of determined character: firm, reliable and stead-
fast in all his dealings and never wavered from his ideas of right.
He was an excellent example of the pioneer of his day, moving
through the wilderness with his family from North Carolina to
Kentucky; thence to Illinois, and literally hewing new homes in
a new country.

543. WILLIAM CANTRILL6 (Thomas,5 Jacob,4 John,3 Jo-
seph,2 Richard1) was born Jan, 17, 1800, in Green county, Ky.
In 1S25 he went with his sister, Anna Black, and other members
of the family, to Sangamon county, 111., and lived with this sister
until Feb. 14, 1S2S, when he married Elizabeth Hall.
Sangamon county was mostly settled by Kentuckians and
North Carolinians and had only been a county four years when
William Cantrill rode to it from his old home in Kentucky, carrying
with him a long, single barrelled Kentucky rifle, that is now in the
possession of the compiler of this book. The fame of the beautiful
rolling prairies of that section of Illinois drew many new settlers,
and in the same year he went there, Elizabeth Hall, with her
uncle and aunt, Andrew and Eleanor Goodan Jones, also went
44 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
from Kentucky and settled four and a half miles from Springfield,
and only a mile from the farm that was destined to become the
home of Cantrills for several generations.
Elizabeth Hall was born Dec. S, 1S09, in that part of Mont-
gomery county, Ky., that afterward became Bath county. She
was a daughter of David and Susan Goodan Hall. David Hall
was accidently drowned in the Licking river. He was a son of
Thomas Hall and Nancy Chinn, nee Bartlett, his wife, of Staunton,
Va. Thomas Hall was a lawyer of Augusta county, Va., and went
to Boone county, Ky., before the Revolutionary War and was
residing there in 1810. The AVar Records at Washington, D. C,
show that: "Thomas Hall enlisted March 1779 at Boonesboro,
Kentucky, in Colonel Daniel Boone's Regiment, Captain John
Holder's Company, and was engaged in several skirmishes with
the Indians." He received a pension in Montgomery county,
Ky., in 1833. Thomas Hall was a son of Edward and Eleanor
Stuart Hall, of Staunton, Va.. and grandson of Isaac Hall, who
married Sarah Allison in Pennsylvania, and went to Augusta
county, Va., in 1736, with the Scotch-Irish emigrants, who went
there from Lancaster county, Pa. Eleanor Stuart, wife of Edward
Hall, was a daughter of Archibald Stuart, and Janet Brown, his
wife. The Stuart family are of Scotch origin. During the reign
of James I they removed to Ireland, where Archibald and Janet
were married, and they emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1727 and
to Augusta county, Va., in 1736. They were a family of wealth
and distinction. On the maternal side, Elizabeth Hall Cantrill
was a granddaughter of Daniel and Eleanor Goodan. The Goodans
emigrated from England to Pennsylvania in 17li0 and to Kentucky
in the latter part of that century. Isaac Hall, a half-brother of
Elizabeth, was killed in his own door yard during the Civil War
by Union soldiers. He had three sons in the Confederate Army.
Elizabeth Hall Cantrill was one of less than a dozen people who
organized the first Christian church at Decatur, 111., in 1834, and
was a consistent and active member until her death. Aug. 4, 1S6S.
In sickness and trouble her neighbors and friends turned to her
instinctively for help and her home was one of the most hospitable,
ready alike to receive friend and stranger, in Decatur.
William Cantrill moved with his family from Springfield, to
Decatur. 111., in 1S33, taking with him the first stock of general
merchandise ever taken to Decatur. The store he opened with this
stock stood on the southeast corner of East Main street, on what
DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH2 CANTRILL 45
was known for many years as the "Old Square," but is now called
"Lincoln Square." In this building in 1835-36 he officiated as
postmaster, stowing the little wafer sealed missives away in a small
box in a corner of the store, though sometimes he was known to
carry the United States mail in his hat, as the population of the
village at this time was little over one hundred adults, and mail
was a luxury that the receiver and not the sender paid for in those
days.
He was a member of the State Legislature, and being one of the
few men there who was "handy with his pen," he served several
terms as county treasurer. He was a man of great influence in
central Illinois; was an uncompromising Democrat all his life, and
for many years wielded an influence in politics in his own and
adjacent counties that defied opposition. He was Second Lieu-
tenant in Capt. Levi Goodan's Company, Black Hawk War, 1832.
This was not attached to any regiment, but was part of General
Whitesides' Brigade of mounted volunteers. He died at his home
in Decatur, 111., Nov. 26, 1881, and the local papers, after giving
many of the foregoing facts of his life, summed up his characteris-
tics in these words: "His word was as good as his bond." A street
in the now city of Decatur is named for him.

Dr. Kellar was b. in Oldham county, Ky., Dec. 16, 1S27; son
of Abram H. and Nancy Hitt Kellar. Was educated at Bacon
College, Harrodsburg, Ky.. and the medical department of the
University of Louisville, graduating from the latter Mar. 1, 1851.
He spent many years of his life as a physician in Decatur, Shelby-
ville ami Sullivan, 111., combining with this work a good deal of
preaching and teaching at the Christian church at Sullivan,
whenever that church was without a pastor. He has been a
great student of the Bible and was well fitted for the large amount
of church work that he has done. He now lives with his children
in southern California.

and also Des Moines College, and thereby hangs a romance.
The young people met at Eureka College and learned
something there not found in the curriculum. Dr. Stewart
thinking his daughter too young for marriage transferred
her to another college, but the same year found Edgar
Kellar among the students there. Dr. Stewart still think-
ing his daughter too voting to be married proposed to take
her for a trip around the world, but this proved no induce-
ment and the young people carried the day and were
married. Edgar Kellar studied at the Union Theological
College, New York City, for the ministry, and has had
charge 'of various churches of the Christian denomination
in the South and Middle "West, among them being the
Christian church at Galveston, one at. St. Louis and one
at Carrolton, Mo. He is now engaged in mission work at

Harlan Page Christie, b. Apr. 2, 1S39, at Springfield, Ohio,
son of James Smith and Laura Beardsley Christie. James
Christie was an Elder for over fifty years in the First Presbyterian
48 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
church at Springfield, Ohio, and a son of Robert and Rebecca
Smith Christie. Robert Christie was a major in the Vermont
State Militia and a volunteer in the War of 1M2; he was a Mason
of high standing, being a Master of the Grand Lodge of Ohio;
was a son of Jesse and Mary Gregg Christie. Jesse Christie was
a lieutenant in Colonel Moore's New Hampshire regiment dur-
ing the Revolution; was a deacon in the Congregational church at
New Londonderry, X. II., and was always known by that title.
The Christies were in New Hampshire in 1717 and are of Scotch-
Irish descent. In ISIS Deacon Jesse, Major Robert and James
Christie (the latter being a young man about twenty years of
age), went overland from Vermont, where they had lived a
short time, after leaving New Hampshire, to Springfield, Ohio,
and settled in that country when the Indians were the princi-
pal inhabitants. From Pittsburg these early settlers travelled in
crude flat boats to Cincinnati, and many a shot was exchanged
with Indians along the banks of the Ohio river. Five genera-
tions of Christies have lived and died at Springfield. James and
Laura Beardsley Christie; Jesse (brother of James) and Martha
Lowry Christie, and Mary (sister of James and Jesse), who
married Louis Bancroft, were all married at Springfield, Ohio,

me."

"My noble grandfather, Joseph Cantrill, who of all the men I
have ever known, represented in a higher degree the ideal man-
hood. I revere his memory and my soul delights to honor him.
Reared under his paternal care from infancy to matured girlhood
I cannot recall a single act, or word, that would not have won

Ky., Jan. 20, 1S39. Married (1) Jennie Moore. Jan. 5, 1869, who
was a granddaughter of Rev. Barton W. Stone, one of the most
gifted and noted ministers of the Christian church. A corre-
spondent, who knew him well, writes: "He was a man of more
than usual culture; a fine scholar, classical in his learning and forci-
ble in argument. Alexander Campbell, who was his compeer,
told me after Elder Stone's death that he (Stone) was the purest,'
ablest man he had ever met. his own father, Thomas Campbell
excepted. As a writer he was clear and pointed and his work on
the Atonement is a standard. For the age in which he lived he
was a leader in religious and literary thought.*' Jennie Moore
Cantrill died Jan. 4. 1.S7S, leaving one son. and James Edwards
Cantrill married (2) Mary Cecil, daughter of James Granville
and Sarah A. Buster Cecil. Oct. 13, 1881.
The Cecils were descendants of Samuel Cecil, who emigrated
from England to Maryland, and for whom Cecil county, in that
state, is named. The family were very prominent in the early
history of Maryland. There is a tradition in the family that "the
DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH2 CANTRILL 57
Cecils were descended from the first Lord Burleigh," whose ca-
pacity for government was at once recognized by Queen Elizabeth,
and who was appointed by her as Chief Secretary of State. To
quote from an old history: " A life of Cecil from this time until his
death, would be a forty years' history of England, when England
was greatest, seeing that he was alike the originator and director
of that policy, which made Elizabeth's reign memorable above
that of any other English sovereign."
• Mary Cecil Cantrill was born in Monticello, Wayne county,
Ky. Her early girlhood was spent in Boyle county, near Danville,
where she was partly educated, but the greater part of her school
life was spent at Daughter's College, Harrodsburg, Ky. She was
appointed by President Benjamin Harrison one of eight members
at large of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Columbian
Exposition, Chicago, 111., 1893. At this Exposition she was one
of twenty-six of the Executive Committee and Chairman of the
National Floral Emblem Committee. She nominated Mrs. Potter
Palmer for President of the Board of Lady Managers. She was
appointed to represent Kentucky at the Atlanta Exposition in
1895 and at the Nashville Exposition in 1898. She is a member of
the Daughters of the Confederacy and a very prominent and active
worker in that organization.
James Edwards Cantrill graduated from Georgetown College
and is an eminent lawyer and jurist, well known all over the coun-
try, and recognized as one of the most successful members of the
bar in the south. He has been a life long Democrat and has repre-
sented Scott county in the Legislature and also in the State Senate.
In 1S79 he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky. Held
the position of judge of the 14th Judicial District of Kentucky
many years and has been jud.c;e of the Appellate Court since 1903.
Following excerpts are from the " Biographical Encyclopedia":
"Captain James Edwards Cantrill . . . enlisted under Colonel
Humphrey Marshall in Weet Virginia about the time Generals
Bragg and Kirby Smith were invading the state. . . . He served
as Private, Captain and Major in the Confederate Army: partici-
pated in the terrible battles of Perryville and Stone river, besides
minor engagements. After these battles Bragg fell back to Tulla-
homa, Tennessee, and Rosecrans took position at Murfreesboro.
About this time Captain Cantrill was detailed with a Company
for scouting service at the front of General Bragg's Army. He
served faithfullv in this arduous and dangerous duty during that

the Spring his Regiment was assigned to General John H. Mor-
gan's Command. . . . Judge Cant rill is a mason of high standing;
a Knight Templar and Grand Junior of the Grand Commandery.
He is a ready and forcible speaker and a writer of merit."

could not learn the name of his wife, but he married in North
Carolina and remained there the rest of his life.

his record is at Raleigh, N. C.
He was executor of the will of his brother, Jacob Cantrill, in
1790, and his own will was probated at Hillsboro, May, 1804. It
is probable that his wife died before he did, as her name is not
mentioned in the will.

86 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
824. ROBERT CANTRELL 6 (Isaac,* John,-* John,* Joseph,2
Richard J) was born Nov. 9, 1823, in Warren county, Tenn. Mar-
ried Martha Magness, daughter of Perry G. and Mary Cantrell
Magness, Dec. 23, 1846. She was born Dec. 15, 1831, and died
Mar. 1, 1897.
During the Civil War he organized a company at Smithville,
Tenn., of which he became captain. Later served as colonel.
Was wounded at the Battle of Shiloh and, afterward, not being
able to serve actively on the field, served as commissary.
Judge Robert Cantrell and his wife celebrated their Golden
Wedding, Dec. 23, 1890, upon which memorable occasion their
eight living children, with all their families, were present.
The following excerpts are from a local paper of Lebanon, Tenn.,
where Judge Cantrell died Feb. 9, 1903.
". . . . Commencing life a poor boy, he worked, by strict
attention to his professional duties to the topmost round in the
legal profession in Tennessee. He was twice honored by the people
of the Judicial circuit and in his judicial career was proverbial
for tempering justice with mercy. ... In private life no object
of charity ever appealed to him in vain. ' His domestic life was one
continued ray of sunshine. ... He was admitted to the Bar in
1849, and came to Lebanon in 1866. remaining in our midst from
that time until his death. In the fullest sense of the phrase he
was a self-made man. In early life he had almost none of the
advantages now so accessible to a young man of ambition. . . .
He acquired a rudimentary knowledge of the law under the most
adverse circumstances. . . . Judge Cantrell was not discouraged
by the difficulties then common to young men choosing the law
as a profession, but with courageous tenacity he clung to his
purpose and to his profession to the day of his death. To such a
degree was this true, that it became the subject of common re-
mark among his friends and gentlemen of the profession. Such
tenacity and fixedness of purpose, which characterized his whole
life, was followed by most natural results. He became a success-
ful practitioner, ranked as one of the best lawyers of the state and
for sixteen years served with distinction upon the bench. He
represented De Kalb county in the Legislature. ... As a citizen
he was generous, helpful, public spirited and always found upon
the moral side of every question. He demonstrated, as others have
before in this community, that a lawyer may also be an exemp-
lary Christian. ... He was a member of the Methodist church."

was born Apr. 21, 1821.
He accumulated a large fortune, and at the time of his death
was one of the wealthiest citizens of Spartanburg. His wife died
before he did, and there were no children. His will was a peculiar
one: in it he stipulated bequests to each and all of his nephews and
nieces, the remainder of his estate to be divided among his "poor
and deserving kin." The question arose who were the "poor and
deserving kin," and the matter was referred to the court. The
decision was that after paying to the heirs named in the will the
portions they were to receive, that the remainder should be equally
divided between the "nearest of his kin." The estate proved to

be much larger than anticipated, so his brothers and sisters re-
ceived a considerable amount.

94 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
The maternal grandfather of Susan Littlejohn Cantrell was
John Nuckols, who met a tragic death at the hands of the Tories,
during the Revolutionary War. He was serving in Upper Carolina,
and the soldiers in that section could often go home and remain
for a few days: when necessity arose they would rally at some
appointed place and enter the field again. It was upon one of
these visits home that John Nuckols, with his son John, a mere
lad, went to the mill on Broad river, some eighteen miles away.
In those days it is said that millers provided a room in the mill
for customers who were detained over night, and the distance
being so great John Nuckols and his son had to remain at the mill.
Tradition says that on his way to the mill a man who learned he
was to remain there over night, mustered a small crowd of Tories
in the neighborhood, went to the mill, awoke Mr. Nuckols and
prepared to kill him. He asked for permission to pray, which
was granted. He prayed aloud and after he had uttered a few
sentences, which were beautiful and touching, one of the men
said: " If he continues to pray like that, we will not be able to kill
him;" so he shot him while he was praying. He is buried at Whig
Hill, with the inscription on his tombstone:
"John Nuckols. Killed by the Tories."
Isaac Hazel Cantrell served in the Confederate Army during
the Civil War. Was for many years actively engaged in business
at Spartanburg, but has now retired and lives at Hendersonville,
N. C. He also has a place on the French Broad river in the moun-
tains of western North Carolina.

AARON, SIMON and PETER CANTRELL 4 (John,3 Joseph,2
Richard *) were young boys when the Revolution broke out,
living with their parents in Spartanburg county, S. C. In 1780-S1,
they were among the South Carolina lads who acted as scouts to
Gen. Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox."
We read in history that :
"In the darkest hour of the American cause in South Carolina,
Marion, who had already distinguished himself as an officer,
formed 'Marion's Brigade.' His men were armed with what they
could get. Some carried rude sabres hammered out of old saws:
their bullets were often made by melting down pewter mugs and
platters. Their costumes wefe often grotesque, the majority being
raggedly clothed, with small skin caps on their heads, as shabby
as themselves. They lived chiefly on hominy and potatoes and
they were capable of any amount of hardship, in which their
Commander set them a good example by sleeping on the ground,
usually without a blanket. With this force Marion would move
with incredible swiftness, striking now one weak point in the
enemy's defenses, and then quickly falling on another far away.
He knew every by-way: it was impossible to entrap this swamp-
fox. When hard pressed by the enemy, he would disband his
force, leaving every man to extricate himself. He gave the British
no peace." With all his boldness, Francis Marion was famed for
the sweetness of his temper and his men were devoted to him.
Into this irregular warfare, near the close of the Revolution,
DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH2 CANTRILL 97
our three young Cantrell soldiers entered. We regret our inability
to find exact record of their fearless service, but the very nature
of it made this almost impossible. There is the following well-
known tradition extant in many branches of the family regarding
them :
Aaron, Simon and Peter Cantrell were taken prisoners while on
scout duty and condemned to be shot. They were bound by
cords and led to a lonely spot. Some of the traditions relate that
both Aaron and Peter escaped, and as there were several Aaron
and Peter Cantrells of that age in South Carolina, this may be
true, but we could not verify this. Others say that only Peter
escaped: that in running away, he fell over a tree and severed
the cords that bound him, which enabled him to run the faster
and gain General Marion's camp, some two miles away, in safety.
Simon Cantrell was bound to a stake. He asked for time to
pray; but while praying his captors, said to be Colonel Tarleton's
men, fairly riddled his body with bullets.
23. THOMAS CANTRELL4 (John,3 Joseph,2 Richard1) was
born Jan. 23, 1761. About 17S0 he married Elizabeth Norris,
daughter of Thomas Norris, who served in the Revolutionary War
from Pennsylvania. She was born Mar. 10, 1765. After their
marriage they first settled in Greenville district, S. C, but later
moved to Tennessee. It has been said that he was the first of the
name to migrate to that state. He settled on Sink creek, De Kalb
county, where he operated an iron forge, which is still called the
" Old Forge," and where one of his descendants now lives.
The War Records, at Washington, D. C, show that "Thomas
Cantrell served as a member, rank and company not stated, of
Lieutenant Colonel Lytle's command, Caswell county, North
Carolina, Revolutionary War." His name has been found only
on a list, not dated, of men "enrolled for Captain Robert Moore,
from Caswell county.
There is a tradition, which comes from William Magness Can-
trell, that: ''Thomas Cantrell, in company with Mr. Adcock, who
was an uncle of his grandmother, were captured at the battle
of the Cowpens, S. C, and placed on a British ship to be sent to
England. After getting some four miles from land, they escaped
by jumping overboard and swimming to shore, having to escape
not only the dangers of the sea, but also the fire of the British."
He was a deacon in the Baptist church. He and his wife are
9S THE CAXTRILL-CAXTRELL GENEALOGY
buried in the old cemetery at Grady, Tenn. This town was first
known as Cantrell's Cross Roads; later the name was changed to
Williamsburg, and to-day is known as Grady. The inscription on
his tombstone reads:
"Here lies the body of Thomas Cantrelle, Born January 23,
1761. Died September 25, 1830."

Kobert Cooke was in the Revolutionary War and served under
Washington at Valley Forge; d. Nov. 12, 1841, at the age of
eighty-rune years.
William Henry Cooke was deputy surveyor in Spartanburg
county, S. C, in 1807. In 1820 he moved with his family to
McMinn county, Tenn.. where he purchased a large tract of
land in the Hiwassee district, on the Conesauga. One of his
descendants writes:
r. "? iiSr?V^r ei?hty vears since William Henry and Mary
Lantrell Cooke came to their new home in Tennessee The
country was new and they reached the end of their Ion- tire-
some journey just at nightfall. It was raining; there was no
house to receive them and a temporary shelter was hastily
erected Beneath that, wrapped in quilts, with her babe in her
arms, all through that dark, rainy night, sat Mary Cantrell
Cooke weeping, so dreary and lonely seemed the prospect
Nevertheless she was a woman of strong mind and great capa-
bilities. Her husband was an upright and enterprising citizen
but she was the potent factor in the training of her children-
one of their sons became a noted lawyer and judge; another a
.baptist minister; another an excellent physician, and still
aiL- ul' ?ne,°f the most influential citizens'in the section in
which he lived She was founder and promoter of the Conesauga
baptist church. I he hill where the family spent their first
night in Tennessee was afterward given as a' burial spot for his
kindred by William H. Cooke: his wife was the first to be laid
there, and one week later he was placed bv her side. Now many
of the descendants of the first, second and third generation are
sleeping there."

daughter of Joseph Gilbreath, who moved to McMinn
county, locating at Coy Hill in 1826. In 1836 she at-
tended school at Athens, at which period the buildings
were principally log; the Baptist church was also of this
construction. In that church she tells of the first sermon
she ever heard: the preacher wore neither coat nor vest,
but with shirt sleeves rolled up to the elbows, collar thrown
open, he dispensed the Word with all the fervor and sim-
plicity of the times. Some of the audience looked so
primitive that one would have connected them with Noah
and the Ark. She d. Apr. 29, 1905, having been a devoted
member of the Conesauga Baptist church for sixty years.
One of her descendants writes that: "she was a woman of
strong convictions, pure in thought and action, her
aspirations were characteristic of" noble womanhood.

Joseph,2 Richard l) was born May 17, 1S3G. Married Attaline
Cooke, daughter of George W. and Sarah Cooke, and granddaugh-
ter of William Henry and Mary Cantrell Cooke, Dec. 1, 1S64. His
wife lived only two and a half years after their marriage, and
although he was yet a young man, he never married again. As
she grew older, the tastes, habits and knowledge of his daughter
made her a congenial companion.
He was converted and joined Zion Hill Baptist church in Mc-
Minn county, Tenn., at the age of fourteen years. At his death,
Oct. 17, 1S99, he had been clerk of Conesauga Baptist church for
twenty-five years. He was a physician and when he died many
were heard to say that: " He was the best man in the world." He
was even-tempered, modest and retiring, but was withal a man of
firm convictions. A nephew in writing of him, said that he "was
a model of simple, earnest Christian manhood, whose memory I
revere."

There are records in Buncombe county and Henderson county,
N. C, of other Cantrells, whom we have been unable to place.
It is probable that Reuben Cantrell and Jacob Cantrell, sons of
Reuben Cantrell, Sr.. married and had sons, but we were unable
to verify this.
Elias Cantrell, whose land adjoined Jacob Cantrell's on Rocky
Spur, Walnut Mountain, was Deputy Sheriff in Hendersonville,
and a man of high standing and excellent reputation. We have
DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH2 CANTRILL 115
been informed that he was not a brother of Jacob Cantrell, but it
is not improbable that he was a son of Jacob Cantrell.
Gelford Cantrell had a state grant of land made to him Apr. 9,
182S, but does not appear to be of this branch of the family,
although living in Buncombe county.
The following were probably of this branch:
John Cantrell, who married Sarah E. Sumner, Sept. 30, I860.
B. R. Cantrell, who married Ava H. Beck, at Sandy Bush, N. C.
Alfred Cantrell, whose name appears in deeds in Buncombe
county.
25. EDWARD CANTRELL4 (John,3 Joseph,2 Richard1).
Married in Rockingham county, N. C, and in the census of 1790 is
given as a head of a family, with four sons under sixteen years of
age.
Children:
1273. i.
1274. ii.
1275. iii.
1276. iv.
Marriages were not recorded in Rockingham county, N. C,
until about 1S00, and as we could not find the wills of Charles,
Joshua or Edward Cantrell, who all lived and married in that
county, nor any of the descendants who could enlighten us, we
cannot give the names of the wives, or children, of these three sons
of John Cantrell. It is probable that the following are descendants,
however, as their marriages were recorded at Wentworth, Rock-
ingham county.
Robert Cantrel to Nancy Shreves, Jan. 13, 1S08.
William Carroll to Sarah Cantrel, Mar. 30, 1819.
Thompson Cantrel to Delpha Burnett. June 11, 1S35.
James Cantrel to Ruth Sanders, Jan. 16, 1800.
Andrew Cantrel to Missouri King, Jan. 9, 1861.
26. BENJAMIN CANTRELL4 (John,3 Joseph.2 Richard1)
was born in Rockingham county, N. C, probably about 1768,
and was a small boy when his parents moved to Spartanburg
county. S. C. At the time of the fighting in Ninety Six district,
during the Revolution, he was a lad of about twelve years of age;
it is said that while he was ploughing in the fields, that by lying
with his ear to the ground he could distinctly hear the roar of the
cannon. He appears in the census of 1790 as "Head of a family"
116 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
in Spartanburg county. Married (1) Charity Logat; ten children;
married (2) Polly Magness and (3) Hannah Powell. There were
no children by either of the last marriages.
About 1S14 he moved with his family to Tennessee, near the
present site of Smithville. A grant of land made to him at this
time is recorded at Sparta, White county. He died in Warren
county, Tenn., about 1S43.

28. JAMES CANTRELL4 (John,* Joseph,2 Richard1) was
born in Rockingham county, N. C. Went with his parents to
Spartanburg county, S. C, where he married Elizabeth .
He owned a plantation on Buck creek and the family were
members of the Buck creek Baptist church. Surrounding this
old church is a graveyard still in use, which has been used since
1775. The first arrangement was very primitive: there were no
plots, but burials were made in rows, and the rows named for the
families using them. In the Cantrell row are many old tomb-
stones so worn with age that it is difficult to decipher them; but
in it were placed James Cantrell, Elizabeth, his wife, and other
members of their family.
He served with distinction in the War of 1S12.

29. WILLIAM CANTRELL4 (John,3 Joseph,2 Richard1) was

beth Wilkens in 17SS in Spartanburg county, S. C. She was a
daughter of Col. William and Elizabeth Wilkens and was born
Aug. 11, 1771. The Wilkens family were among the first settlers
of Spartanburg county. They settled in the vicinity of Goucher's
creek, before the Revolutionary War and William Wilkens served
as a colonel. His wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Terrell,
of the Terrell family of Culpepper county, Va.
William Cantrell purchased land on Goucher's creek, Nov. 30,
1797, and a few years later on the North Pacolet river, adjoining
land owned by William Wilkens. He accumulated considerable
property on the fork of Pacolet river, adjoining Buck creek, and
it is said that he was called "Billy Cantrell, Gentleman" because
he owned so much land and so many slaves. He made deeds,
Nov. 2, 1827, for over 1,300 acres of land to William Cantrell, Jr.
The witnesses being Milly Duncan. Catherine Jones and Col. Wil-

31. DANIEL CANTRELL* (John,3 Joseph,* Richard ') owned
considerable property in Spartanburg county, S. C. Married and
had several children. July 20, 1841, he made deeds of gift to
children named below, who left descendants whom we have not
been able to trace. The witnesses to the deeds mentioned were
Mark Forest, Peter Cantrell, Charles Cantrell and Isaac Cantrell,
but there is nothing to show whether the three last were sons of
Daniel Cantrell. or whether they were sons of Isaac Cantrell, Sr.,
who also lived in that vicinity, and had sons named Peter' and
Charles.

New Castle county, Pa., June, 172G, and was baptized, Dec. 10,
1726, at Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) church, in what is now Wil-
mington, Del. He probably moved to North Carolina at the same
time his brother John Cantrill went there, before the Revolution,
as there is a tradition that there was a large caravan who moved
south at the same time. It is probable that he and his family
settled in Randolph county, N. C, and that the two following
were his sons. *

She was a daughter of Maj. John Blakemore, of the famous
" Donelson Expedition" and was born in North Carolina, Mar. 8,
1765, and died Aug. 2, 1S49.
He probably went to North Carolina at the time of the large
exodus south of the Cantrell family, as he was in the service of the
Continental Commissioners of that state as Captain of the Guard,
during the Revolutionary War. For the faithful discharge of his
duties he was awarded a grant of land, 6-40 acres on Stewart's
creek, Davidson county, Tenn. The deed is recorded at Nashville.
This land lay in what was afterwards Sumner .county, Tenn.,
which was taken in 17S6, by authority of North Carolina, off the
east side of Davidson county.
During the years of 1792-93, Stephen Cantrell was captain of a
company of sixty-three men, organized for the protection of the
country against the inroads of the Indians.

father, David Deaderick, Sr., of Wurtembuig, Germany, emigrated
to America before 1750, and was among the German Pennsylvan-
ians who settled Winchester, Va., the oldest town in the Shenan-
doah Valley. She was a woman noted for her kindness and good-
ness; of a deeply religious nature, she endeavored to practice the
teachings of Christianity in her daily life. She was a close com-
municant of the Presbyterian church for many years and left a
lasting impression of tenderness and love upon her family and
friends.

1S07, at Nashville, Tenn., and died there May 25, 1886. Married
Clara Walker, Nov. 20, 1849, daughter of Robert T. Walker, a
Scotchman and merchant of Nashville, who was born Dec. 15,
1824. Her mother was Adeline Poston Walker, of Clarksville,
Tenn., who lost her life, with an infant son in her arms, in the
128 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
burning of the steamer Brandy wine, on the Mississippi river,
below Memphis, in 1S30.
Clara Walker Cantrell died Apr. 2, 1891, at Nashville. One of
her sons writes of her:
"She was the personification of unselfishness. A member of
the Presbyterian church, her life was that of a true Christian wo-
man: Christian in the full and liberal sense, not erratic and narrow,
but practical and broad, doing as she would be done by and always
striving to impress this Golden Rule upon those about her."
George Michael Deaderick Cantrell was an official in the Union
Bank of Tennessee; Planter's Bank of Tennessee and Fourth
National Bank of Nashville for many years. In the latter years
of his life he collected a great deal of material regarding the history
of this branch of the Cantrell family, that has been of the greatest
help in this work.
He was a member and an officer of the First Presbyterian church
at Nashville for half a century. One of his sons writes of him:
"As a Christian gentleman, pure in all his words and deeds, he
left us the richest heritage, a spotless character; such a one as
family, kindred and friends may look upon and remember with
pride. He was of that old school of gentlemen fast passing away."

granddaughter of Rev. Asa and Rachel Beeman Harrell (Rev. Asa
Harrell served in the Revolutionary War with Gen. Horatio Gates
in South Carolina) ; great-granddaughter of Jesse and Mary Night
Harrell, of Harrellsville, N. C; also great-granddaughter of Israel
and Elishua Savage Beeman. Ellen Harrell Cantrell is the author
130 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
of many magazine articles and of a handsome volume of 300
pages, entitled: "The Annals of Christ Church Parish, Little
Rock, Arkansas," the Mother Protestant Episcopal church of
the west and southwest. She is a graduate of the Nashville
Female Academy and of the French Academy and is proficient
in music. She represented the state of Arkansas at the World's
Fair at Chicago, as essayist, and at the Exposition at Nashville.
She has served as state regent of Arkansas, National Society of
Daughters of the American Revolution and has also been a de-
voted and active worker many years in Christ Church.
William Armour Cantrell graduated from the Medical Depart-
ment of the University of Louisville, Mar. G, 1847; was assistant
physician at Bellevue Hospital, New York City; physician at the
Nursery Hospital at Blackwell's Island, N. Y., and at the New
Orleans Hospital, where he treated yellow fever in epidemic form.
He removed to Pine Bluff, Ark., to be near his aged father, and
after his father's death, in 1854, settled in Little Rock, Ark., where
he built a commodious brick residence in 1S60, which was his home
the remainder of his life.
Dr. Cantrell filled successively and honorably the positions of
city physician, county physician, president of the state board of
medical examiners, president of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, and delegate to the Medical Association at Nashville,
besides attending to a large practice. He was a noted surgeon.
During the Civil War he performed distinguished service in the
Confederate Army. Was appointed surgeon of Col. T. J. Church-
ill's regiment, 1st Arkansas mounted volunteers in 1861. After
the war he was urged to take charge of the United States Post
Hospital at Little Rock and accepted, holding the position as
acting assistant surgeon during the command of Brevet Major
General Arnold, Captain Light Battery G, Fifth Artillery and that
of Col. C. H. Smith, 2Sth Infantry, a period of five years. His
record at that hospital added much to his reputation for sagacity
and skill already earned. Later he had charge of the medical
department at the School for the Blind in Little Rock.
In 1S55 Dr. Cantrell and his wife became members of Christ
Church (Protestant Episcopal). Dr. Cantrell was a member of
the vestry of that church for over forty-five years and was a senior
warden for over ten years.
At the time of his death, a friend said of him:
"He was one of the best known and esteemed men in this vi-
DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH2 CANTRILL 131
cinity, and his nature was so rounded that he overflowed with the
milk of human kindness. Generous and good, he cherished no
ill feelings against any one, and it was remarked by all who knew
him that in thought, speech and action, he was one of the most
charitable of men. Beloved by all classes, the humblest as well
as the highest in our midst will miss with poignant regret his
cheery greeting and sincere sympathy."
We quote the following regarding Dr. Cantrell from the "Bio-

" While the social amenity of his disposition and grace of man-
ner have caused him to be sought by the most polished circles,
the earnest simplicity and sympathy of his nature have endeared
him to the most humble in rank. Like a full river, bravely bearing
its own burdens to the sea. yet dispensing life and refreshment
on each side, his course has shown a long succession of private and
public services, which prove that the prominent desire of his soul
has been to be useful."

1519. ii. Leon Trousdale.
10. ISAAC CANTRELL 3 (Joseph,2 Richard1) was born in
New Castle county, Pa., probably about 1729. Married and
moved to North Carolina. It has been impossible to get a com-
plete list of his children, or the order in which they were born,
but the following names were furnished by descendants of this
line, as given: •
Children:
1520. * i. Isaac.

1522. iii. Elizabeth, m. her cousin, John M. Cantrell, palled "Miller John."
(See his line.)
1520. ISAAC CANTRELL, Jr.4 (Isaac,3 Joseph,2 Richard1)
was probably born in New Castle county, Pa. That Isaac Cantrell
and his family went to the Carolinas is certain, but we do not
142 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
know to what section they first moved. It is claimed that Isaac
and James Cantrell were the first of the name to settle in Spartan-
burg county, S. C, but whether this was Isaac Cantrell, Sr., or
Isaac Cantrell, Jr., is not known. This branch of the family were
later joined in South Carolina by their uncle John Cantrell, who
came from North Carolina.
Isaac Cantrell settled on Pacolet river, where he owned large
tracts of land, near where Buck creek church now is. He married
twice, the name of his first wife is not known; (2) Mary Leonard.
The first two children were by his first wife. He died in 1805 and
his will was probated in Spartanburg county.
WILL OF ISAAC CANTRELL

my real and personal estate, during the time of her natural life, or
widowhood, except the money that is now in my hands.

cept my son Elijah Cantrell's heirs; to the two children he left at

George Pirtle's son. I give and bequeath to George Pirtle five
shillings and to my grandson, Isaac Pirtle, five shillings.
"I also give and bequeath to my son Enoch Cantrell and his
heirs, after the decease of my wife, one negro boy named Watt.
' "I also give to my son Lanceford one negro named Sam.

living child, and the other increase left to the disposal of my wife:

Abraham and Caleb, at the decease of my wife.

THE DESCENDANTS OF
ZEBULON CANTRELL
OF PHILADELPHIA
4. ZEBULON CANTRELL 2 (Richard J) was born in Phila-
delphia, Pa., about 1697. His name appears on a tax list in Ches-
ter county, Pa., in 1718. He probably married in that locality
and moved later into the Welsh Tract district, New Castle county,
Pa.
Zebulon Cantrell was witness to the will of Thomas Edmond, in
the Hundred of Pencader, county of New Castle, Jan. 6, 175S, and
also appeared when the will was probated July 21, 175S.
In 17G3 he purchased 200 acres of land in Mill creek Hundred.
The records of New Castle county, as stated before, are very in-
complete and unsatisfactory: they do not show what disposition
was made of this property, nor what became of him. He was a
cordwainer, and this property lay on White Clay creek, with a
landing on the water, and also extended along the King's Road,
which ran from New Castle to Philadelphia, and was one of the
first roads made in this country. This old road was a century old
when Zebulon Cantrell came to live upon it, and all the great dig-
nitaries and high officials from before William Penn had traversed
that way. What tales history suggests in connection with it!
Old homes a hundred and a hundred and fifty years of age still
stand along it: the occupants of some of them, although living in
them a generation or more, cannot even tell who built them.
It has been impossible to get a correct list, or to learn the exact
number of children Zebulon Cantrell had, but it is probable that
there were several. Samuel Cantrell, mentioned in unclassiiied
of the name in the back of this book, was probably one of his
descendants, as he lived on the old Kind's Road at Newton, about
two or three miles from the Mill creek property.
There is a tradition among his descendants that he and his son,
148 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
Joseph, moved to Botetourt county, Va., before the Revolutionary
War, which is probably true, as members of this branch of the
family were living in that locality at the time of the Revolution.
Children:
1568. * i. Joseph.
1569. ii. Sarah, m. David Miles, July 5, 1756, in White Clay Creek Hundred.
The Miles family were anions; the founders and most influential
members of the old Welsh Tract Baptist church, the "Mother
church" of this denomination in this country.
156S. JOSEPH CANTRELL3 (Zebulon,2 Richard1) was born
in Pennsylvania, probably between 1720-25. It is most likely
that he married in New Castle county, Pa., and moved to Bote-
tourt county, Va., some time before the Revolutionary War.
As in the case of his father, it is probable that there were a
number of children in this family, but the only one whose descend-
ants can be positively traced are those of his son Joshua.
Jeremiah Cantrell, given among the unclassified in the back of
this book, doubtless was a grandson of Joseph, as he was born in
Botetourt county, Va. Records do not show that any other branch
of the family settled in this section. It is also probable that some
of the descendants went south.
Child:
1570. *i. Joshua.
1570. JOSHUA CANTRELL4 (Joseph,3 Zebulon,2 Richard1)
was born Aug. S, 174S, in Pennsylvania and was a lad when his
parents moved to Botetourt county, Va. Married Ann Graham.
She was born May 3, 1751, and died Feb. 9, 1819. They were
married and living in Botetourt county as earl}' as 1773. In 17S9
when the tide of emigration turned westward, they went with their
family to what afterwards became Bath county, Ivy., where he
died Sept. 9, 1800.
It is said that Joshua Cantrell and his father, Joseph Cantrell.
were both many years ruling elders in the Presbyterian church.
Joshua Cantril was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. One of
his grandsons has the original copy of the oath of allegiance taken
by Joshua Cantril, which rends as follows:
"Pittsylvania County. I do hereby certify that Joshua Cantril,
oath taken and subscribed the oath of affirmation of allegiance and
fidelity, as directed by an act of General Assembly, entitled, An
act to oblige the free male inhabitants of this state above a cer-

Joshua,4 Joseph,3 Zebulon,2 Richard *) was born Aug. 28, 1S33,
near Cantrall, Sangamon county, 111. Married Susan Foreman,
Dec. 13, 1S55. She was born near Pharisburg, Ohio, Mar. 21, 1S35,
and was a daughter of Thomas and Mississippi Foreman. Her
mother was born in what was known as the French settlement in
Illinois, Sept. 3, 1S03.
Zebulon D. Cantrell and his father travelled across country
from Waynesville to Clinton, 111., in 1854, looking for a farm.
They could have purchased the best land at SI. 25 per acre. They
decided that the land could never be cultivated and that only a
small strip along the timber would ever be fit for habitation. In
1858, when Zebulon Cantrell and his wife moved to a farm six
miles west of Wapella, bought from the Illinois Central Railroad
Company, their friends repeatedly said that they would starve
living so far from the timber. It would be impossible to describe
their early experiences on the uncultivated prairie, but there was
always room in their home for the traveller and there seemed to
be no limit when it came to entertaining their friends. The farm
he improved became one of the best farms in the state.
Zebulon Cantrell was an elder and leader in the Elm Grove
Presbyterian church, near his farm. He was a justice of the peace
for twenty-five years and held many other positions of trust. He
died May 16, 1S97.

born in Virginia, Apr. 2, 1781 , and was probably a daughter of
John McCollam, to whom certain land was deeded in Montgomery
county, Ky., in 1S01. This deed was witnessed by one William
Cantrell and the heirs of J. Cantrell were mentioned. The deed is
now in the possession of Charles Rogers Cantrall, a grandson of
Joshua.
He died Aug. 11, 1S40, and his wife died Jan. 1, 1849.
DESCENDANTS OF ZEBULON2 CANTRELL 165
Just a week before the uprising and massacre of white settlers
by the Cherokee Indians in Bath county, Ky., in 1811, Joshua
Cantrall, his family and probably all his father's family moved
to Clark county, Ohio. From there he and his family moved to
Illinois, in 1835, settling near Waynesville. On the farm which
he improved there, which is about a mile from Waynesville, there
is a pear tree still standing (1907) which he planted, which is now
an immense tree, and often bears fifty bushels of little sugar pears.
This farm is now the property and home of James Cantrall, a
grandson.
Joshua Cantrall was a ruling elder in the Presbyterian church
at Buck Creek, Champaign county, Ohio; also an elder of the Pres-
byterian church of Waynesville, 111., from the time of its organiza-
tion in his own home in 1S36, until his death. He had visited a
meeting of the Sangamon county Presbytery and secured an order
for the organization. The congregation worshipped in his house,
or in the woods near by for two years before erecting its first church
building. According to a statement made by his son Levi, in the
"Herald and Presbyter " some years before his death, Joshua Can-
trall, and his father, Joshua Cantrall, Sr., and his grandfather,
Joseph Cantrall, were all ruling elders in the Presbyterian church.
Joshua Cantrall began life a poor man, but left each of his nine
children two hundred acres of land. None of the nine children
died under the age of fifty-two years, and one, Levi, was over
eighty-six. His daughter, Polly, was the first girl married in
De Witt county after its organization. His will was the first pro-
bated in that county.
Joshua Cantrall had a flint gun, with which he killed more than
a thousand deer. This gun is now in the possession of Frank Ross
Cantrall, a great-grandson, and is always to be in the possession
of the oldest living male descendant of Thomas Dunham Cantrall.

1577. LEVI CANTRALL5 (Joshua,4 Joseph,3 Zebulon,2 Rich-
ard *) was born Oct. 1, 17S7, in Botetourt county, Va., and was
two years of age when his parents moved to Kentucky. Married
(1) Fanny England, Nov. 30, 1809, in Bath county, Ky. She was
born Oct. 2, 1792, and died Sept. 10, 1S35, leaving thirteen chil-
dren. He married (2) Mrs. Ann Barnett, nee Patterson, May 27,
1S36, in Sangamon county, 111.; five children, of whom three died
in infancy.
Levi Cantrall was left an orphan at the age of twelve years and
was bound to a man who was a tanner. This man whipped him
so severely that he carried the scars all his life. At the age of
fourteen, he ran away from his hard master and made his own
living. In relating his early hardships to his children, he taught
them to always show kindness to the poor and needy.
Levi Cantrall and his family moved to Madison county, Ohio, in
1811. In Oct., 1819, they moved'to Madison county, 111., and
from there to Sangamon county, where they arrived Dec. 4, 1819,
at the present site of Springfield. On the fifth they reached the
north side of the Samramon river, in what is now Fancv creek
DESCENDANTS OF ZEBULON 2 CANTRELL 189
township, and on the seventh selected a location, where they com-
menced to build a cabin, Dec. 8, 1819.
From Levi Cantrall's notes of the trials these early settlers of
Sangamon county had to endure, we quote the following excerpts:
"December S, set to build a cabin and got one raised and
chinked and chimney up to the mantle, when the weather set in
so hard that mortar froze so we could not plaster it. December 24
the snow began to fall and there was one snow after another until
it was two feet on a level.'' He goes on to tell how extremely cold
the weather was until Feb. 11. when it moderated and rained.
Then a company consisting of Levi and Wyatt Cantrall, Mathew
Holland, Alexander Crawford, Henry Crawford, a Mr. Kellogg
and John Dixon, who afterwards founded the city of Dixon, 111.,
set out for the American Bottom to get provisions. The weather
again became extremely cold. They loaded their wagons with
flour, meal, etc., and started home on the eighteenth, driving
fourteen head of hogs. At night it was very cold, but during the
day the rain and melting snow made hard work of their progress
and the whole country was simply afloat. They met a farmer, by
the name of Bans, who had been stuck for three days in a snow-
drift with a load of corn and was badly frost-bitten. They helped
him out of his difficulties. When they got to Sugar creek, they
had to cut timber and build a bridge over the ice, in order to get
the hogs across. In one day they travelled one mile. The next
day they reached the Sangamon river, which had overflowed the
banks and as they had no boat they had to send back to Kelly's,
where the city of Springfield now stands, to get tools to build a
canoe. This canoe was made with an axe and grubbing hoe.
They finally reached home twenty-one days from the time they
started. The snow remained in drifts until Mar. 10. The spring
was fine and they commenced to cultivate the land. April 25,
there was a heavy rain; then a drought set in. May 26, a frost cut
their corn to the ground, and there was no more rain until July 19.
They were so discouraged they thought of moving back to the
settlement. However, they hauled provisions before the next
winter and lived through it. In 1820 Levi Cantrall built a horse
mill. It was a band mill with a wheel forty feet in diameter and
ground the first grain on the north side of the Sangamon river.
The people came to this mill for thirty miles or more. In 1S22
he built a water mill on Cantrall's creek, near the present town of
Cantrall, for sawing and grinding. He kept a tannery for over
190 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
forty years. In telling of the deep snow in 1S30, he says that there
was one snow after another until the snow was four feet on a level:
it drifted until it covered stake and rider fences and in main-
places was seven or eight feet deep. On his farm it took two good
yoke of oxen to haul one shock of fodder, and this lasted from
November to February, 1S30-31.
It is said that Levi Cantrall gathered material for a family
history and wished it published after his death, which occurred
Feb. 22, 1S60, but these papers have not been found.
The town of Cantrall, 111., was laid out on land he entered soon
after coming to that state, and was named in honor of his memory.

THE DESCENDANTS OF
BENJAMIN CANTRELL
OF MASSACHUSETTS
2054. BENJAMIN CANTRELL l arrived in Philadelphia from
Ireland about 1764. From records and traditions in this family,
we learn that they were descendants of the Cantrells who fled from
France to Ireland, at, or about the time of the St. Bartholomew
Massacre (1572).
After living in Philadelphia two years, Benjamin Cantrell
moved to New York, where he lived from 1766 to 1770. He went
next to Boston, Mass., and served in the Revolutionary War. He
was wounded during the war. In 1787 he settled in Deerfield,
Mass., where he died. He was living there in 1S17.
He is mentioned in "The History of Deerfield, Massachusetts,"
by George Sheldon, and from personal interviews with this gentle-
man in Boston in April, 1903 (he was then eighty-four years of
age), a great deal was learned of this Cantrell family, as he had
known members of it well during his residence at Deerfield.
Benjamin Cantrell married Parvin, in Philadelphia,
about 1766. The Parvin family located in Pennsylvania as early
as 173S and were a prominent and wealthy family.
Children:

moved to New York, where he lived from 1766 to 1770. He went
next to Boston, Mass., and served in the Revolutionary War. He
was wounded during the war. In 1787 he settled in Deerfield,
Mass., where he died. He was living there in 1817.
He is mentioned in "The History of Deerfield, Massachusetts,"
by George Sheldon, and from personal interviews with this gentle-
man in Boston in April, 1903 (he was then eighty-four years of
age), a great deal was learned of this Cantrell family, as he had
known members of it well during his residence at Deerfield.
Benjamin Cantrell married Parvin, in Philadelphia,
about 1766. The Parvin family located in Pennsylvania as early
as 173S and were a prominent and wealthy family.

UNCLASSIFIED RECORDS
2128. Mary Thomas Cantrell was a daughter of Rev. Owen
Thomas. Rev. Owen Thomas was born in Wales in 167G; came to
America in 1707 and took charge of the Welsh Tract Baptist
church, Pencader Hundred, New Castle county, Pa., in 1740,
continued in care thereof to May 27, 174S, when he resigned to
go to Yellow Springs, where he died Nov. 12, 1760. His daughter
Mary married a Cantrell. She was baptized Oct. 6, 1744, at the
Welsh Tract Baptist church and was married at this time, but we
could not find which one of the Cantrells she married. They had
several children.
2129. Alice Cantrell married Rev. Jonathan Jermyn, a promi-
nent Baptist minister, about 1750. They lived at Shiloh, N. J.,
and had several children. She was no doubt of the New Castle
county, Pennsylvania family, as her New Jersey home was just
across the Delaware river.
2130. Nathaniel Chantrell's name appears in an old MSS. list
in 1701, Christiana Hundred, New Castle county, Pa.
2131. Richard Cantrell married Mary Reily, Aug. 1, 1777, at
St. John's Episcopal church at Lancaster, Pa.
2132. Samuel Cantrill, tailor, bought land, on which there was
a house and stable, on the old King's road (now Market street),
and James street in the village of Newport, Christiana Hundred,
New Castle county, Pa., Sept. 20, 1793.
Samuel Cantrill was probably a descendant of Zebulon Cantrill,
whose land on the King's road was only two or three miles from
Newport.
Samuel Cantrill died about 1793 and letters of administration
on his estate were granted to Zachariah Derrickson, administrator,
(Sarah Cantrill, the widow, having renounced).
May 19, 1795, Sarah Cantrill was appointed guardian of three
220 THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
orphan children of Samuel Cantrill. She sold the home at New-
port, Apr. 5, 1796, and all trace of her and her family are then lost.
Children:
2133. i. George.
2134. ii. Robert.
2135. iii. Mary.
2136. Isaac Cantrell. In a letter dated at Baltimore, 1S19,
Samuel Jennings wrote to his brother, Jonathan Jennings, Gov-
ernor of Indiana, recommending Mr. Isaac Cantrell, who was
leaving Baltimore, intending to reside in Ohio, or Indiana, and
states that he has a son and daughter "capable of giving useful
instruction to youth."
2137. Jeremiah Cantrell wras born in Botetourt county, Va.
(He probably was a descendant of Zebulon Cantrell's line.) Mar-
ried Mary Reynolds in Virginia.
Jeremiah Cantrell was a fife major, under General Jackson, in
the War of 1S12 and was at the Battle of New Orleans. He re-
ceived a grant of land for his services in that war, and settled in
Indiana, where he died.
Child:
2138. James C, was b. in Indianapolis, Ind., in 1S23. Married twice, but has
no living children.
James C. Cantrell served in the northern army during the Civil
War and after the war moved to Philadelphia, Pa., where he now
lives. In a personal interview in 1900, he recalled many of the
current traditions of the family, i. e. that one of his ancestors had
a brickyard in Philadelphia at its first settlement; that one of the
older members of the family had over twenty children, some of
them being twins. The old family names he could remember were
Richard, Joseph, Joshua. Stephen and Zebulon. He had heard
that the family moved from Pennsylvania to the western part of
Virginia and he thought his great-grandfather was in the Revo-
lutionary War, but could not tell his first name.
2139. John Chantrell. In No. 4, North Carolina Register, an
abstract of the will of John Chantrell, executed Apr. 16, 1774,
appears. The devisees named are relatives in Devonshire, Eng.,
except John Harthridge, of Powell's Point, N. C, and his sistrr
Sarah Hopkins. He evidently was unmarried. It has been sug-
UNCLASSIFIED RECORDS 221
gested that he was a mariner, whose home was in Devonshire,
Eng., and that he did not belong to the American family.
2140. Adam Cantrall, head of a family, census of 1790, in Green-
ville district, S. C. He had four sons under sixteen years of age
and five daughters in 1790. We have not found any trace of these

2141. John Cantrall, head of a family, census of 1790, in Green-
ville district, S. C, with one son under sixteen years of age. This
family could not be traced.
2142. Samuel Cantrell came from Ireland to New York in 1S00.
He remained in New York City, where many of his descendants
now live.
2143. Edwin Cantrell, of Brooklyn, N. Y., was born in England,
where his ancestors have lived for many generations.
2144. William H. Cantrell was born in New York City. His
father, William Cantrell, came from Naniea, County Tipperary,
Ireland. His grandfather was a property owner in County Tippe-
rary and the family was one of influence and distinction there.
Among them was a rector in the Episcopal church.
2145. Samuel Cantrell came from County Westmeath, Ireland,
to Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1SS0. He confirms the tradition that the
Cantrells in Ireland have always been Protestants.
Of the Monticello, N. Y., Cantrell family, all we could learn was
that there were two brothers, George and Thomas, but we have
not found where this family originally came from.

burg county, S. C, mentions: his wife Kitty; grandsons Zebulon
and William Cantrell; granddaughters Emily and Panthy Can-
trell.
In the last century three sons of George Cantrell, of Nottingham,
Eng. (whose father, George Cantrell, Sr., was the inventor of
Nottingham lace), came to Wisconsin. They were:
2171. Joseph B. Cantrell, who moved from Wisconsin to San
Francisco.
2172. Thomas Cantrell, who moved from Wisconsin to San
Francisco.
2173. William Cantrell, who moved from Wisconsin to Chicago.
The family of Cantrelle in New Orleans probably went to that
city direct from France, but I have not been able to verify this.

APPENDIX B
MINUTES OF THE REUNION OF THE CANTRILL FAMILY OF THE
UNITED STATES HELD AT THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION IX
VIRGINIA ON SEPTEMBER 5, 1907.
A large number of the members of the Cantrill or Cantrell
family, of the United States, met in the Convention Hall of the
Inside Inn, at the Jamestown Exposition in the State of Vir-
ginia at 10:30 a. m. on September 5, 1907, in response to the
following call:
REUNION OF THE CANTRELL FAMILY
To be Held at the Jamestown Exposition, September Fifth, 1907
June, 1907.
To all numbers of the Cantrell Family in the United States:
Inasmuch as William Cantrell, or William Cantrill, believed to have been
the first individual of the name in this country, landed at Jamestown, Vir-
ginia, some three hundred years ago, ami became a member of the first Eng-
lish settlement established within the territory of the United States, it has
been thought and suggested that a reunion of his family and possible descend-
ants, at Jamestown, while the Exposition there is in progress, would be
particularly interesting and appropriate.
As a result of this suggestion, the undersigned have been selected as a
committee to fix a date and arrange for such a reunion.
After due consideration. Thursday, September 5th, 1907, has been agreed
upon as the most convenient time; and a meeting of the entire Cantrell
family of the United States is hereby called to Take place at the Jamestown
Exposition, within the Commonwealth of Virginia, on that date.
A programme for the reunion will be arranged later, and all persons ex-
pecting to attend, or desiring further information, will please write to Charles
W. Cantrell. Corresponding Secretary, 1022 Bessemer Building, Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania.
Through the kindness of Mrs. Susan Cantrill Christie, who has devoted
much time, during the past ten years, to the collection of the history of the
family, we have been furnished with the names and addresses of about 500
23S
THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY
members of the Cantrell family located in 31 States of the Union (most of
them being heads of families) and representing practically every calling and
profession. No doubt many of these will attend the Jamestown Exposition
in any event, and, it is believed that hundreds of them will make it con-
venient to be present on September 5th.
There are many others scattered throughout the Country, whose names
and addresses are not known and have not been furnished to your com-
mittee; and, we therefore request all persons receiving this letter to, as far
as possible, notify all members and friends of the family known to them,
of the time and place of the reunion hereinbefore called.
The idea of the coming together of the family and possible descendants
of one of the first English Settlers of the United States, upon the site of the
first English Settlement, after three hundred years of American progress,
will appeal strongly to every loyal member of the family.
The occasion will no doubt be one of great interest and enjoyment, and
we respectfully urge all who can possibly do so, to be in attendance on the
date above named.

A finance committee was appointed consisting of William
Magness Cantrell, Chairman, Charles W. Cantrell, Fielding T.
Cantrell, Charles C. Williams and Harlan P. Christie.
Announcement was made that a family dinner had been ar-
ranged for, to take place at the Inside Inn in the evening, and
thereupon the meeting adjourned until 2:30 p. m.
At 2:30 p. m. the adjourned meeting was called to order by
Secretary John H. Cantrell. C. W. Cantrell continued to act as
Secretary.
After expressing regret on account of the absence of Judge
James T. Cantrill, who, by reason of illness, was unable to be
present, the presiding officer introduced Mr. Cecil Edwards
Cantrill, youngest son of Judge Cantrill, who read the following
communication from his father:
"To my Kinsmen assembled in family convention at the James-
town Exposition, Virginia,
"Greetings: —
"It is with more profound sadness and regret than any one
of you may ever know that I am forced to realize that I may not
be with you as Presiding Officer, with which position you have
honored me; but more especially, to myself than all else, to feel
that I am not to be one of you on this, the first recorded call of
the blood in three centuries. Allow me to present to you, through
my younger son, Cecil Edwards Cantrill, very briefly all my good
wishes for the perfect success of this auspicious occasion and
prophesy its lasting good even though a mere handful shall be
gathered together, to know more of the family history, its origin,
traditions over the seas and in America, since the landing of
William the First on the shores of the most wonderful Republic
which history notes.
"In the multitude of thoughts that flood my brain when I
reflect upon the significance of this gathering, though not to
trespass too far, I shall hold you to but few of these for your
consideration.
REUNION AT JAMESTOWN 241
"First: That a careful study of a good and honorable, and
therefore a great lineage, its characteristics; its strengths and
its weaknesses as well, is to engender a wholesome racial pride,
a safeguard and a self-respect that tend to make a people in-
capable of pettiness in thought and deed and of a class of low
crimes common to those who have not the wisdom to learn the
dignity and honor of a clean descent.
"Second: I beg to impress upon this Convention of the Clan
Cantrill, especially upon the impressible young, some of whom
must be present, this all important fact, that any Cantrill, old
or young, rich or poor, prominent or obscure, who may be privi-
leged to add lustre to his name by any individual deed of mental,
moral, or physical prowess, dare not by anything ignoble be-
smirch the highest ideals already established and exalted by
his forbears and kindred. To bedim one ray of a star is to de-
grade to that extent not only himself, but by reflection his people.
It is not given to all to become heroic; but to each belongs the
privilege to hold with firmness in the struggle of life to his duty
by guarding in his stronghold, like a sleepless sentinel, the weak-
est part in the battlement, till perchance a greater shall come to
lead him to higher things.
"The essentials of a fine family are the essentials of good
American citizenship; to bravely and courageously do with no
murmur, in silence and alone if need be, patiently, conscientiously,
unswervingly his full duty where his duty finds him.
"Like all who enter the arena of life, some epochs of my own
have been in the trough as well as on the crest of the wave, and
as the shadows grow long in the fast coming sunset, I congratu-
late myself on nothing more than that in the various vicissitudes
that have come to me, I have tried to practice the little preach-
ments I here make to you to-day.
"Again, with the kindliest greetings and goodbye, I shall
always feel myself and wish you to regard me as,
"Very faithfully yours,
"James Edwards Cantrill."
A resolution was unanimously adopted providing for the
organization of a permanent Cantrell Association for the especial
purpose of collecting and preserving the history of the family,
and the following officers of said Association were unanimously
elected, to-wit:

Cantrill of Harveyville, Kan., Chas. W. Cantrell of Pittsburg,
Pa., Mrs. Nelah Gulp of Louisville, Ky., T. W. Cantrell of Ten-

ing the time and place for another reunion meeting of the family.

ing that those present would attend the family dinner in the
evening.
8:30 p. m.
The family dinner was served at the Inside Inn, and was
attended by practically all members of the family attending the
reunion.
