My Cantwells came from Ohio to Elora, Ontario. This was my gggrandfather.
His only child was my ggrandmother. She had 2 cousins. Since my
gggrandfather was an artist we have records in paintings. Evidentally, he
had an exhibit at the National Gallery in Ottawa at one point. G.Uncle John
Cantwell lived in Toronto with his family. He fought in the North-west
Rebellion (Canada)and lost a limb (arm I think). DOes any of this ring a
bell with your information?

Hi,
Here is my oldest Cantwell., James is my line.
Edward Cantwell
Generation No. 1
1. EDWARD1 CANTWELL was born abt. 1795 in Ireland, and died Bef. 1860 in
Schuylkill County, PA. He married MARY CURRAN. She was born abt. 1795 in
Ireland.
Children of EDWARD CANTWELL and MARY CURRAN are:
2. i. JAMES2 CANTWELL, b. abt. 1821, Ireland.
3. ii. PATRICK CANTWELL, b. abt. 1826, Ireland; d. Bef. 1880,
Shenandoah.
4. iii.THOMAS CANTWELL, b. abt. 1829, Ireland; d. Bef. 1880,
Shenandoah, Schuylkill County, PA.
iv.ANNE CANTWELL, b. December 02, 1830, Castlecomer, Co Kilkenny,
Ireland.
5. v. ROBERT CANTWELL, b. abt. 1832, Ardra, Castlecomer, Co
Kilkenny,Ireland.
6. vi.EDWARD CANTWELL, b. abt 1837, Ireland; d. April 09, 1910,
Brooklynn, NY.
I note with interest that a James in Nfld, CA was rumored to be from Co.
Kilkenny. I have several MSWord files on the Cantwell name and history
for
anyone that is interested.
The naming patterns in families are usually significant in the first order
of exploring links. Also, my Cantwells moved back and forth with Canfield
names in the US Census records. Something may be happening with the Irish
vs. English traditional spellings/pronunciations.
Cheers
Gary Cantwell
