Your Comments:: Im not a cantrell now but i was married to Chad Cantrell. We have a baby girl named Kayla.I hope to hear from you soon.




Hi John,
I guess we are 4th or so cousins...maybe 5th.., my father had me late in life so my first cousins are not my age.
My Gr Gr Grandfather, Robert Tate was John Riley's brother.  My father is a genealogist, has been doing the family history for over 35 years now..his name is Warren G. Cantrell, son of John Russell Cantrell (John's dad was Sigel Andrew and John's grandfather was Robert Tate).  I went to visit Robert Tates grave when I was much younger.
Anyway, wanted to tell you I liked your website.  We are off the same age, I was born in 1966.

Talk to you later

Your Comments:: John,

If I''m to believe the LDS search, Richard Cantril was my ggggggggrandfather.  From Richard through, Joseph, John, John, Isaac, Leonard, Isaac Denton and my grandfather George.  George''s daughter, Artie Myrtle (91 years old) is my mother.  I have had little interest in my ancestors until recently when I ran across a couple of web sites and then went to the LDS site.  I''m not sure where you fit into the scheme, I''ll have to figure you out later.  :>)

I found the Richard Cantril documentation and your web site today.  I hope to read it all tonight.

Your web site is great, thanks for all you have done.  Keep up the good work.

Dear John Cantrell,

My name is Ron Gerard, currently of Kalispell, Montana.  Recently of San Jose, California and originally of Cushing & Pryor, Oklahoma.  Son of James N. Gerard (recently deceased) of Sand Springs, Okalhoma.  Formerly of Santa Cruz and Los Gatos, California and originally from Drumright, Cushing & Pryor Oklahma.  James N. was the son of Ronald Earl Gerard of Claremore, Oklahoma.  Ronald E. Gerard was the son of WILLIAM P. GERARD who married LAURA S. CANTRELL.

LAURA CANTRELL (B. 1857 McMINVILLE, TN - D. 1942 CLAREMORE, OK) WAS THE DAUGHTER OF TALMA CANTRELL WHO MARRIED SALLY ANN JONES.  They lived in Claiborne, Oklahoma.

TALMA CANTRELL (7th generation descendant of RICHARD CANTRELL) WAS THE SON OF EPHRAIM, son of AARON, son of Isaac, son of John, son of Joseph, who was the oldest son of RICHARD CANTRELL using spelling of Cantrill).

Richard was a resident of Philadelphia prior to 1689

Most likely descended from the Derbyshire branch of the English family.  He was likely descended from either William Cantrill or Henry Cantrill.  William Cantrill, Gentleman, arrived in America at Jamestown, VA, 1608, by the ship Phenix.  (The name is spelled Cantrill as well as Cantrell in all of the VA Historical Records.)  William was certainly under the leadership of Captain John Smith once arrived in Jamestown.  William accompanied Capt. John Smith on June 2, 1608, on "his discoveries of Chesapeake Bay."  "CANTRILL'S POINT was named for the discoverer and was "betwixt the Patawomuk and Pamuke" now the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers.

It is said that William was likely present at the Baptism of Pocahantas.

Back to RICHARD. In 1693, he married Dorothy Jones, daughter of Ellis and Jane Jones, who came to America from either Flint or Denbigh, Wales, in the ship SUBMISSION in 1682.  Ellis Jones and his family were Quakers and RichardCantrill was of the Church of England.



John,  this may be information already in your possesion.  I do have more, if you wish.  Please feel free to contact me by email.

I remain,
one relative of yours,...in a fashion, one way or another.

RON GERARD

Your Comments:: I really like your website. I guess we are cousins from way back as our trees run the same until we get to Isaac as your family originated from his first marriage and we his 3rd (Abraham). I never knew i had so many relatives. I knew my family was big down south but gosh!It is amazing that your website really hits home with me as I am also very much into native americans. My family camps alot, and we love animals too. Maybe it is in our blood, lol.  


Mr. Cantrell, I am related to the Cantrells through my
grandmother, Nancy Ann Cantrell. She lived in Coker
Creek, Monroe county Tennessee. She married Homer H.
Goodwin and their daughter, Alma Marie Goodwin is my
mother. Mammaw's father was William(Bill) Lanceford
Cantrell and her mother was Josephine Augusta(Gussie)
Payne. Bill's father was Middleton Turner Cantrell
married to Emily Adeline Holden. Mid's father was
William Lanceford CantIsaacson of Issac Thornton
Cantrell and Mary Linder. This is where you and I
split. We are long distance cousins. William Lanceford
Cantrell married Martha Patsy Cantwell. Martha's
mother was Jane Barnett who is a direct descendant of
Thomas Rolfe, Pocahantas' son. I was wondering if
there was any Cherokee indian in our line. Was Mary
Linder a mixed blood Cherokee? My grandmother, Nancy
Cantrell, always told her grandchildren that she was
half Cherokee. Thanks for any help! Ronnie Sellers
