Ephraim Cantrell
(December 5, 1795 - Abt, 1852)
"Ephriam Cantrell bought land in Warren County, Tennessee as early as 1835. He had sold his farm near McMinnville, Tennessee and was moving to a farm which he had bought near Smithville, DeKalb County, Tennessee. The night before moving, the young folk were having a party and while the party was in progress, he died from a heart attack. (From notes of Mary Mahale Cantrell.) His widow, Tabitha was living with son Paris in Marion County, Arkansas in 1880, age 81. A visit was made to the county seat at Yellville, Arkansas in January 1986, after learning this, but courthouse records were destroyed by fire in the 1880's. There was no way to determine where Paris was living in the county. Also living with Paris were his sisters Malvina and Laura Lucinda." (James F. Cantrell, RR 3, Box 73-17, Fremont Hills, Nixa, Missouri 65714, 1986.)
