Message Board Post:
My wife is a grandaughter of William Wallace Cantwell. She knows little of her ancestry
but I have looked in to it a little. The family seemed to skirt the issue of the father of
William from what I gather from her.
William's mother was Mary Elizabeth Cantwell. She was apparently not married at the
time she had William but soon thereafter married a man by the name of Orange Ober. Mary
and Orange had several other children. Her death certificate indicates that her father was
J. J. Cantwell (probably John Jackson Cantwell born in Noble Co., OH) and her mother was a
Covey (probably Mary Covey).
It is possible that Orange Ober was the father of William Wallace Cantwell, but I have
found no proof of it.
