Message Board Post:
Sarah Cantey was a daughter of John Cantey who moved to Camdem from the South Carolina
coast. He descended from Tiege Cantey who came to South Carolina in the 1670s after his
son, George, went back from where he came (Barbadoes), fetched his father, and brought him
to Charles town (Albemarle). George came over on the CAROLINA, the first boat, in 1670.
The Chesnut branch into which Sarah married spells its name without a "t". Her
sister married Col. Eli Kershaw, a brother of Joseph.
