      I wrote to Warren asking who this son was that divorced Anny Johnson. This was his reply:
      Mildred,
      This John was a son of Aaron and Betsy Smith Cantrell. Aaron was a son of Isaac and a grandson of old John. After his disastrous 1st marriage he married again and he died in early 1840's and left wife Nancy and five daughters. Nancy remarried Charles Hamlin and moved to Caldwell co, MO. The 2nd dau. Elizabeth married George Spickard in 1947 in Grundy co, MO. and the family started west and she died 21 Sept 1850 while crossing the mountains to CA. She left one son, Charles Spickard born 14 Mar 1849. Have marriages of two of the other daughters.
