The last known ancestor I have is JASPER NEWTON CANTEY b. 1851 in GA or SC. d. 1915
Charleston,SC. He had siblings James, Mary and Sarah Ann. He was married first to Selina
Shuman who died in childbirth. He was married second to Caroline Elizabeth Jones. Caroline
had been married once before to Jeremiah Lysaght. Jasper lived in Allendale/Barnwell,SC
then moved to Awendaw, SC. Jasper had children Ben, Tom, Annie,John, Arthur, Lillie Belle
and Oliver.Jasper's birth family supposedly lived in Screven Co.,GA. for 19 years.
They were living in Savannah at the time of the Civil War. It is said that Jasper's
father was Thomas Jefferson Cantey and his mother was Delia "Betsy" Elizabeth
Calhoun. I cannot find any information on them. Any help is appreciated.
