Thank you for the information. William Wallace Cantwell was born in Dec. 1879, but I
didn't find him listed in the 1880 census or the 1900 census. In the 1880 Wood
County, WV census, his mother Mary Elizabeth is listed with her parents John and Mary
Ann(Covey) Cantwell, her brother Bennett Cantwell, her brother William(Kingsbury)Cantwell
and his wife Mary Ann (Bartrug) Cantwell. I think it is strange that William Wallace is
not listed with them.
Mary Elizabeth married Orange A. Ober on Jan. 2, 1882. They are listed in the 1910 Wood
County, WV census, but I didn't find them in the 1900 census. William Wallace
Cantwell is listed in the 1910 Ritchie County, WV census with his wife and children.
I also think that it is strange that on William Wallace's death record his father is
listed as Oran Cantwell and mother listed as unknown. I guess Oran Cantwell was really
Orange Ober.
My husband is a great grandson of William Mason Cantwell (born 1833), John Jackson
Cantwell's (born 1826) younger brother.
