To Val Arrowwood. I decided to break it up to Abraham Cantrell, his wife Lucy Watson Lovelace and her first husband, Barton Lovelace:
BARTON LOVELACE md LUCY WATSON-she m2 Capt. ABRAHAM CANTRELL
I have gone through 175 of the 450 articles relating to BARTON LOVELACE on rootsweb.com/ then go through the LOVELACE-L Archives and Genforum.com/Lovelace
A Summary of the 175 from various sources:

No one has found marriage records for Lucy Watson Lovelace and Abraham Cantrell (Capt.).
Christie, Susan Cantrill. "The Cantrill-Cantrell Genealogy". New York, New York: The Grafton Press, 1908.
...after the Revolution, Abraham moved with his family on the waters of Buck Creek in Spartanburg County, SC where he was listed in the 1790 census.
Abraham was born in the "big valley" (200 mile long Shenandoah Valley)of VA and moved with his parents in 1753 to NC. The same researcher reported that all of his (Abraham's) children by Lucy Watson Lovelace were born in South Carolina. His first two children reportedly were born in VA.
1789
1789, birth of WATSON CANTRELL, the son of Lucy and Abraham, was born VA and their next child was also born VA.

Revolutionary War Service
Salisbury district (in Rowan Co, NC)
Abraham's name appears on the pay roll of NC soldiers in the auditor's office at Raleigh, North Carolina. Tradition says that he was a Captain and this is probably true, as he received more pay than the other soldiers.
"Revolutionary Army Accounts, Volume I", page 111 folio #2, North Carolina Archives in Raleigh, NC.
He is listed under "Special Certificates paid into the Comtrolers".
The second line shows Certificate #1574, granted by Bruce and Munter to Abraham Cantrel 9 August 1782 in the sum of l66 pounds.
Actual certificate:
State of North Carolina
Salisbury District
This is to certify that Abraham
Cantril was allowed Sixty six pounds - - -
