  • Notes 
    • Reference, "The Cantrill-Cantrell Genealogy", by Susan Cantrill Christie. Later revised by J.R. and Jackie Cantrell, further revised in 1973 by Joseph Caten.

      1860 DeKalb County Census, p. 57, lists a "Robert, 11, TN"...

      Doesn't appear in any census after 1870. He probably died before 1880...DAH.
