  • Notes 
    • "was probably the eldest son of Abraham and one of the sons "Over sixteen years of age" mentioned in the First Census, 1790. In 1813, he seems to have disposed of all his property in the that State and moved to Tennessee, as he received a grant of land in 1814, which is recorded at Sparta, White County, Tennessee.

      In the ten years following the War of 1812, a large number of Cantrells moved from the Carolinas to Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.

      In 1824, her receved a grant of land on Sink Creek, recorded in McMinnville."
