Thanks to everyone who responded with information about the real name of
Jefferson Cantrell�s son. The information received indicates conclusively
that his son was Isaac, not Richard Isaac. We didn�t receive any source
information on Richard, so we can�t speculate on how his name got into the
mix, although four people who supplied information to us on our intial posting
for Charles Cantrell did have Richard listed.
Isaac N. was listed as 9 years in the 1850 Census for DeKalb Co., and showed
up in consecutive census years 1850-1880 and 1900-1910. The following shows
children of Isaac counted during the census:
