From the twelfth to the fifteenth century the name Cantrell appears in
English records from time to time, and after that time, appears many
times in England and Ireland, as well as France, usually spelled
Chantrell, Cantrill, or Cantrell.
In the history of Melbourne, County Derby, second edition, page 175,by
J.J. Briggs, states "The Cantrells were a very ancient family and are
supposed to have been located at Kings Newton about five hundred years.
By deeds still extant in the family, we find that they possessed lands
there as early as the reign of Henry V about 1413. Other deeds and
surveys show that theywere considerable landed proprietors during the
reigns of Henry V, Henry VI,Edward V, Edward VI, and Henry VII." From
the history of Cheshire by Ormeod we learn that the Chantrells were
possessed of land in Cheshire as early as 1412, and in this history the
pedigree is given of John Cantrell, 1424(taken from the plea recog
rolls), with the same coat of arms that is given later in the visitation
of Cheshire, 1580, of Chantrell is Bache; visitation of Suffork, 1612, of
Cantrell of Bury St. Edmonds, and visitation of Berkshire, 1664, of
Cantrill of Workingham.
Various histories of Cheshire have a great many records covering a period
from 1422-1558, showing that the family of Chantrellwas a prominent one
and that they were large landed proprietors, and speakingof the family
as a very ancient one.
The name is enrolled in English records as patriots, soldiers, sailors,
college graduates, school masters, barristers, writers, rectors, and
vicars of the Church of England.
William was a scribe and lived his whole life in England, known to be a
gentleman of firtune and consequence.
