Subject: John Cantrell Descendants
My 91 year old Grandmother has asked me to try and learn more about
her
Grandmother, Tamson Rebecca Melvinna (Vina or Vinnie) Cantrell. She does
not
recall a lot of names that belong in this family just that they lived
in
Tishomingo County, Mississippi.
She supplied me with the names of two of Vinnie's brothers. Warren G.
Cantrell gave me clearer information on their names and was kind enough to
tell me who Vinnie's parents and grandparents are and where the Cantrell's
lived before coming to this part of the country.
The two Cantrell brothers are Bennett Pope Cantrell and Aaron Silvester
Cantrell. They were children of Theophelus Taylor and Frances Jane Pope
Cantrell and grandchildren of John and Rebecca Thorne Cantrell.
Five branches of the family moved to that area from Spartanburg Co., SC.
This is all the information I have on the Cantrell family. I do have some
information on other branches of Grandmother's family that I am willing to
exchange for the needed Cantrell information. This would be Brittnell,
Lindsey, and Stidham.
Thanks in advance for any and all help. God bless.
