I have noticed some discussion about connection between the name Magness and Cantrell.
Several families moved from the Spartanburg area of South Carolina to White and Warren
Co.. of TN in the 1820's. ( DeKalb Co... is now part of that area) Included in this
move were families such as Cantrell, Magness, Potter, Webb, Bethel, Adcock and many
others which of course inter-married. One book which might helpful for the Cantrell -
Potter - Magness families is "Cantrell - Potter - Magness Ancestry of Alvin Edward
Potter Sr..." Researched and Complied by Edythe Rucker Whitley, Historian &
Genealogist, Nashville, TN 1938.
It has Chapters devoted to each of the families listed above plus some related families.
The information in this book like many others needs to be verified, but it is a good place
to start.
