These Canteys surely sound like my Canteys. My Mary Jane (Jennie) Cantey, born 1864,
whose husband was named Felix West, born 1862, seemed to have had several children: Lelia
(Lillie)born 1881, who married Robert Louis Hills Nelson,born 1879, George 1886, who
married Geneva, James 1869, and Jenne, 1865. Her parents were James, born 1847, and his
wife, Cynthia, born 1849. I thought they were from Edgefield, but could very well have
been from Sumter, S.C. Please see what you have in your records for me. I am a
descendant of Mary Jane Cantey and her husband Felix West through their daughter Lelia
(Lillie West Nelson - married Robert Louis Hills Nelson). The Nelsons are intact, but I
am working on reaching out to the Canteys and Wests more fully.
