looking for info on the family of John Mack Cantrell born 1869-
DeKalb,Tenn- died Eastland,Texas
I have some Cantrells who were in Dekalb Co TN. Watson Cantrell b ca 1790
SC
married his second cousin Elizabeth Martin, dau of John Martin and Catherine
Cantrell.
Watson and Elizabeth had about ten kids whose names I don't have. They were
in Dekalb Co by at least 1841 and that's where they died. The kids were
young
enough for several of them to still be in the home.
I recommend checking the census for Watson Cantrell in 1850 and if any kids
are still in the household then, follow up on later census records for
them.
Also check any other Cantrells around them. I don't have access to census
info or I would do it for you.
If you do find a connection to Watson's family, get back with me. He is my
half
5th great uncle. His mother is my grandmother by her first marriage and I
can
give you some info on both that line of Cantrells and on her.
