Individual Details
Isaac Cantrell
(Abt, 1729 - Abt 1805/06)
"Isaac married and moved to North Carolina. It has been impossible to get a complete list of his children, or the order in which they were born, but the following names were furnished by descendants of this line." (THE CANTRILL - CANTRELL GENEALOGY, 1908, by Susan Cantrill Christie, page 141.)
(Additional information on the family and descendants of Isaac Cantrell and primarily, the line of his son, Peter, from a GedCOM computer listing from Robert Sullivan, 806 E. Applegate, Austin, Texas 78753-3902; tele: 512-836-3045.)
(Additional information on the family and descendants of Isaac Cantrell from a pedigree chart printed in CANTRELL COUSINS, July 1995, pages 7 - 9 as furnished by Reta M. Evans, 5605 Westcreek Drive, Fort Worth, Texas 76133-2246; tele: 817-292-6657, and followed up by a PAF file sent to Ralph Terry by her in March 1996. The information shown below comes from her files.)
"Isaac moved his family to Rockingham Co, NC Abt 1737." ("The Early Bethells and Their Descendants" by Virginia Mohler Garde, Rt 3 Box 327A, Edwardsville, IL 62025; pages 93 and 131.)
"The death date of Isaac Cantrell was from a FGS of Pat Edwards, 4315 Van Buren St., University Park, MD 20782 from "The Indiana Bethels", pg 129.
"LDS Ancestral File, gives a birth date of approx. 1729; New Castle, Delware; Submitted by Donald & Brenda Terry, San Diego, California, Claudia Silver, Sandy, Utah, Linda Dottery, Watkinsville, GA, Larry Pennington, Whites Creek, Tennessee.
"Information from Warren Cantrell states the following: During the course of the case concerning his will in 1806, Lawrence Bankston, who may have been a brother-in-law, testified that he had known Isaac for about 50 years and that Isaac was about 72 years old when he died in 1805.
"LDS Family History Center; Pedigree Chart shows Isaac had another wife, Mary Linder and one other (the flyleaf of a book of hymns and spiritual songs has a notation that reads: Sarah Cantrell, daughter of Isaac Cantrell and Elizabeth his wife, was born July 27. 1769.
"Clarice Johnson, 3130 Grove, Baker City, OR 97814, states in her letter that Isaac was a Baptist minister and had 17 sons. Notes from Warren Cantrell state that Isaac's first wife died before 1772 leaving several children and he then married Mary Linder who was born in 1755 and was a daughter of John Linder, a neighbor. His first wife was probably buried at the Wolf Island Church cemetery,(NC) which lay to the north of the church building. The cemetery grew over the years with donations of land by several members of the church. By 1905 the cemetery contained 5.4 acres and was one of the largest church cemeteries in the area. In the 1950's the trees and underbrush was cut away and in the 1960's the hundreds of field stone markers were removed and the cemetery was sown in grass. The Wolf Creek church was formed by Isaac Cantrell and he was the pastor for over 20 years. In 1796 he became the pastor of the Buck Creek Baptist Church in South Carolina and served through 1799. He made his will in August 1805 and the inventory was filed 10 Feb 1806. He is probably buried at the Buck Creek Baptist Church with a field stone marker. Not all of his children were named in his will. This was corrected to some extent by son, Peter, when he filed a protest to the will and posted bond 3 Feb 1806.
"The marriage of Mary Linder is from LDS Ancestor File - Ver 4.13; New Castle, DE, submitted by Shirlee Ann Thompson, Salt Lake City, UT/Betty Joan Wells. Salina, CA/Audrey Chapman, Provo, UT/Fredrick Barry, Lacombe, La/Darral Eugene Lawson, Corona, CA.
"The first (and only) Cantrell reunion was held in Dallas, Texas 16 September 1995. Warren Cantrell, our main speaker, has been tracing this family for approx 40 years and he has not been able to prove the name of Isaac Cantrell's first wife. All present agreed that Talitha Cloud as his first wife has not been proven." (Rita M. Evans, 5605 Westcreek Drive, Fort Worth, Texas 76133-2246; tele: 817-292-6657.)
(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: The marriage of Isaac Cantrell to Mary Linder has been given by many researchers; however, Susan Christie shows Isaac Cantrell, son of this Isaac Cantrell, married Mary Leonard using the same information for establishment of children. These children are duplicated in both families. I am not sure which is correct, so both have been left in file. It appears the birth years for the children of Isaac Cantrill and Mary Linder given here were approximated, but must be incorrect if Mary was not born until 1755. Peter Cantrell is the last child given by the first marriage Isaac and is shown as being born in 1782. Assuming that Isaac and Mary Linder married and had their first child within two years of the birth of Peter, and one every two years thereafter, then the first child would have been born about 1784 and the last about 1800. The information of Isaac's son, Peter, and Isaac's grandson, Isaac's son, Peter is also duplicated, as the will dispute is given for both Peters. However, the families given for each Peter differ, so hopefully are correct.)
