Becky, have you seen the book on CANTEY ancestry by the name of
''Our Children's Ancestry'' by Sarah Cantey Whitaker Allen, 1935,
If so are these your same WHITAKERs? I have copies of a few pages from this book,
however, have never seen the book.
If you by chance know where to obtain a copy, let us know.

Greetings List,
Noticed this morning that this list was up for adoption and with CANTEY being one of
my family research interest, I volunteered.
My lineage:
1. TEIGE CANTEY d. 1679 SC
2. GEORGE CANTEY b. 1657 Ireland d.aft. 1714 SC
3. WILLIAM CANTEY d. 1729 South Carolina
4. CAPT. JOHN CANTEY b. 1712 d.1792 "Live Easy" Pine Tree Hill, SC
5. JAMES CANTEY b. 1755 Camden District, SC d.1817 Milledgeville, GA
6. SARAH CATHERINE CANTEY b. 1792 Camden, SC d.1877 Russell Co., AL
7. MARY EMMA CROWELL b. 1820 Washington Co., GA d.1906 FL
8. MARTHA ELIZABETH WHITAKER
9. ELIZABETH (BESSIE) FORT BRADFORD
A more complete outline can be found at:
http://www.bradfordgenealogy.org/TIEGECANTEY.html
I do have more folks to add to that basic outline but would really appreciate
contributions from all list members so that we could build a fairly complete Tree of all
descendants. Let us hear from you...... post here or send to me.
It is my understanding that the South Carolina line is the only US Cantey line.... but
if that isn't the case let us hear from you and we'll build another Tree.
Let's get this list rolling and help everyone in their genealogical quest of their
Cantey ancestors. We have many 'notables' to share information and stories on, as
well as the lesser known. A very interesting heritage .........
Regards,
Becky Mosely
