[35]
JOHN CANTRELL (3) (Joseph, 2; Richard, 1) was born in New Castle county,
Pa (now Delaware), Oct., 1724, and baptized in Holy Trinity (Old Swedes)
church Mar. 25, 1726. He was married twice. His first wife was ---------
Brittian, bywhom he had seventeen sons; his second wife was Jane -----,
by whom he had four sons and two daughters. We have heard from several
that there were a number of twins in this large family. He died in 1803
and his sons Abraham, Stephen and Moses administered upon his estate.
There are many traditions in thisfamily regarding John Cantrell and his
family and their moving to the Carolinas, but the exact date of his
leaving New Castle county is not known. It is known, however, that he was
living in Rockingham county, or what is now that county, North Carolina,
before the Revolutionary War, and shortly after the war he moved to
Ninety Six District, now Spartanburg county, S. C., where he owned over
eight hundred acres of land on Buck creek, waters of Pacolet river.John
Cantrell and his family were devoted and active workers in the Buck creek
Baptist church. There is no reliable authority for a correct tabulation
for any but the first three of the children of John Cantrell and we have
endeavored to make the list correct from records, rather than from lists
furnishedfrom memory by his descendants.
