Notes

This note is edited from a note provided by Mamie Marie Cantrell.

John was born about 1765 in the western part of Orange Co. NC. The area of his birth became part of Guilford County in 1771 and all of Rockingham County 1785. He married Sarah, surname unknown, about 1785 in NC.

John's name appears in the record of deeds in Rockingham County between 1787 and 1793. His first appearance in the census records is in the 1800 census of Spartanburg District SC. Two of his children were listed as over 10 years of age and 4 under 10. The family moved with a caravan to Tennessee in 1806. John is recorded in White County on 14 Oct 1806 as a member of a road crew. He acquired 50 acres of land in the 1st District of Warren Co. on Sink Creek. He sold the land to George Payne for $250 on 23 Jan 1815. Shortly thereafter John and his family joined another caravan that moved to Indiana. A nephew, Abraham P. Cantrell, a son of brother Richard, also made the move. Apparently, the land there was not up to their expectations and they returned to Tennessee in the late summer of 1820. After a few years in Warren County, several families moved westward to the new counties of Weakley and Carroll. John died in Carroll County in 1826.

In 1830, daughter Marillay Cantrell Fly was listed in Carroll County. Her household included a 50-60 year old female who was probably her mother, Sarah. The Fly family moved to Greene Co. AR in 1836, and to Barry Co. MO in 1837. Sarah went to live with her granddaughter, Mahala Cantrell Daniels, and accompanied Mahala's family to Galatin IL. She was living there in 1850.
