All the ancestors after William and Elizabeth are CANTRELLs. I have found my
CANTWELLs as CANTRELLS in various census information and on tax
rolls........I may spell my name CANTWELL but I am positive my line started
out as CANTRELL and goes back to Richard Cantril of PA in the 1660's.
I'd sure like to hear from others working these same lines or colateral
lines. Thanks
