Jill - It looks like his parents were GABRIEL MARION and ESTER/CHARLOTTE
CORDES and Francis Marion's wife was MARY VIDEAU. Haven't found any
children and his date of marriage looks like Apr. 1786 - maybe didn't marry
until late in life..... Anyway seems that there was not a Cantey mother.
Regards, Becky
There is a Cantey plantation near Manning, SC that is still owned by
Dr.
Cantey. I have heard that Francis Marion used this plantation as a hiding
place during the American Revolution. I also heard that his mother was a
Cantey. Don't know if this is true. Does anyone know?
