Hello,
I am a new subscriber to the list. I am searching for a possible
marriage between Robert Brown of Caswell Co, NC and a Cantrell female.
Many of us Brown researchers have thought for years that Robert Brown
married a Lydia Harris in 1795. But it appears another Robert Brown may
have married Ms. Harris. I believe that Robert may, in fact, have
married a Cantrell female because of the frequent occurance of the name
Cantrell in the family.
Robert's oldest son was named Jacob Cantrol Brown. He also had a
grandson named Simpson Cantrell Brown (my 3rd ggf), a grandson Robert
Cantrell Brown, a great grandson named
Charles Cantrell Brown, and another great-grandson Simpson Cantrell
Brown. The Cantrell name has carried through in younger generations.
There is obviously a strong Cantrell connection.
Robert's brother Solomon Brown married Hannah Cantrol in Orange County,
NC in 1790/1791. Hannah was the daughter of Jacob and Mary Cantrell.
Solomon and Hannah Cantrol Brown's daughter Hannah Brown married James
B. Cantrell, son of Zebulon and Mary "Polly" Morrow Cantrell. They
married in Sumner County, TN, moved immediately to Greene Co, KY, and
then to IL, possibly Sangamon Co. Their sons Levi Cantrell, b. 6 Mar
1825 and Stanton b. 10 Sep 1830 were both born in IL. James B. Cantrell
died after this time and Hannah and her two sons returned to Sumner
County, TN. Hannah remarried to Robert Bruce. Levi and Stanton married
and remained in Sumner Co, TN.
I would like to communicate with anyone with any knowledge of these
families. And, especially anyone who might have ideas about Robert
Brown's marriage to a Cantrell in Caswell, Rutherford, or Orange County,
NC.
Thanks,
Danene Vincent
