Hello Robin,
I saw your messages on
ancestry.com about your extensive research on the Cantey surname.
Wow! You have quite a few.
Well, I have just learned that my great great great grandfather Lewis Frederick Breaker
married Martha Cantey on March 3, 1807. She was born March 24, 1789 and died March 23,
1842 in Key West FL. She and Lewis Frederick Breaker went to Key West in 1829. I know of
two sons that they had -- my great great grandfather Jacob Manly Canty Breaker (born July
25, 1824 Kershaw Co.near Camden - died April 14, 1894 in Houston TX) and James Henry
Breaker (b. April 28, 1820 in Edgefield, S.C.- died 1897 in St. Louis, MO)
Do you have any information about Martha Cantey's parents and if she and Lewis F.
Breaker had more than these two sons. I know that Jacob Manly Canty Breaker lived with
his cousin Charles Middleton Breaker in Camden, S.C. when his parents went to Key West FL.
Charles was the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Camden at that time.
Thanks for your help.
