Hi Alta, my name is Frederica Mathis Fox. I am descended as follows: Parents were

N.C. Gr,gr,gr,gr,gr,grandparents were John Cantrell b. Oct. 1724 New Castle,Pa. d. 1803
Spartanburg,S.C. & Miss Brittain ( Rachel ) b. 1726 d. 1799 N.C. Gr,!

Co.Va. & Catherina Heath b. 1698. Last but not least Richard Cantrell b. 1660 &
Dorothy Jane Jones b. 1672 Wales d. after 1732. So, how are
you? We have a 4 generation photo of Samantha Eunice Cantrell Mathis & Elizabeth
Hudson Cantrell, also in photo is Samanthas daughter Maud Eunice Mathis Headington &
her son Frank Limon Headington. This photo was taken sometime in the late summer, early
fall of 1904, as we know Lil Frank was born in March of 1904. Would you be interested in
having me email you this photo to include in your website? Maybe someone in the Cantrell
line might have some info after seeing it, that would lead to the discovery of when and
where Elizabeth Hudson Cantrell died. We know she was still alive in June 1906, thats when
she filed last for a Widows Pension. We have not been able to locate her in 1900 or 1910
census anywhere, and she was sti!
ll alive in 1906. Can you help us with getting this photo spread around? I`d really
appreciate it if you could. Thank you for your time, and reading this long email.
