My brother Thomas Lee CANTWELL was the one that did most of the research on our CANTWELL
line, and he passed away in Oct. 2001.
I do have some census, and have tried to follow his posting on rootsweb & genforum.
I know that Samuel and Francis were in Lee Co. Iowa on the 1840 census, along with Adam
& James.
They were in Linn Co. MO on the 1850 census, while Adam & a couple of the other boys
were in Clark Co. MO.
This is the last census I have for Francis, in 1860 Samuel is in Fannin Co. TX with his
second wife Octavia Campbell and the only children left at home are the twins, Martha and
John T. who were born while they were in MO.
You stated that your line comes down through their daughter Mary A. who married in Lewis
Co. TN in Dec. 1850. She was very young when she married, as the 1850 census shows her to
be 12 years old.
Do you know when, where, and how Francis died?
Do you know who her parents were?
