Hello Cantrell Cousins,
I'm back from my trip to South Morgan Co, KY, around West Liberty, Mima
and
Ophir. I spent the day down there at the library and exploring for
Cantrell
Cemeteries. I found the Elijah Cantrell Cemetery, down a dirt road from
the Ophir Church (I didn't get the denomination). Elijah Cantrell
(tombstone said E L Cantrell) b. 5/17/1872, d. 9/14/1935 and Margaret
Ann Cantrell, b. 2/14/1873, d. 3/5/1958 were buried there. I also found
several other cemeteries with Cantrells buried there. I stopped and
talked to several cousins while wandering around and got directions for
the cemeteries. John M. (W?)Cantrell, who was 99 years old was one, his
wife Minnie was buried on their farm and a child. I also talked to Edgar
Cantrell, grandson of John Riley Cantrell. They were both in the
Mima/Ophir area of Morgan Co., KY.
Dwight & Kathie, does it have any mention of my gggg grandfather Elijah
Cantrell, b. about 1770 who married Peggy Conley. They lived in NC and
KY that I know of, I have information on his descendants, but none on
his ancestors, I think he is descended from Richard Cantrell, but there
are many Elijahs and I don't know which one is my ancestor.
Thanks, John Sharp

I have a copy of the Cantrell Book in my hot little hands. I will
gladly
post info as needed but the group will have to give me a little time. No
1 I am disabled and sometimes these fingers don't work so hot and No 2 my
monitor is about to blow and I am waiting on Sears extended warranty people
to bring me another (this will be my 4th so a word to the wise, don't by an
Acer monitor).
Be kind to me with the requests for look ups and I will post them for the
entire group since we all benefit.
