Dear List,
Can someone answer the following question? It was sent to me in response to
my last posting.
Apparently the person did not understand the part that said I cannot vouch
for anything older than my ancestor, Tamson Rebecca Melvinna Cantrell b.
2-26-1856.
Thanks in advance for any and all help you may be.
Take care. God bless.
Betsy
Perhaps you could explain what documentation you have for the existence of
Henry Cantrill, and for his location in Jamestown, VA at the time suggested
below? The definitive listing of all individuals known to have invested into
the Virginia Company before 1624 or emigrated to Virginia before 1624 is
Adventurers of Purse and Person, now appearing in the three-volume fourth edition
format. The third edition (which lists not one single Cantrell) attempted to
give the first three generations forward from every person in the two
categories above who is known to have had descendants. The fourth
edition will expand that information to cover the first six generations.
No Cantrell at all is listed anywhere in the third edition of Adventurers of
Purse and Person? Is it possible you are reciting old, flawed information
and that no Henry Cantrill was ever in Jamestown, VA?
