RE: Albert B. Cantey with sister ''Mary'' and Gladys
your Albert B. Cantey could be
* Albert Bertrand Cantey. b. Sept 8 1911
who I have as son of Thomas Russell Cantey b. 1857 and Ella Helen Brasington b. 1870
~ my source for this family was a descendant of theirs ~
Sorry I can't get her email to work any longer.
Thomas Russell Cantey b. 1857 was son of Gershon Benbow Cantey and Rebecca Allen
[source: Bible Record by J. W. Pierce in 1884 / Gershon B. Cantey Family]
He is gdson of William Russell Cantey and Elizabeth Cheason Benbow.
....................Wm Russell Cantey d. ca 1831 in SC; after his death, his widow,
Elizabeth,
and children came to Montgomery Co AL with her father Gershon Benbow.
I do have will of Gershon Benbow [see below].
