      Hi Dave.
      You puzzle me about G.W. having another marriage to a Cantrell.. He was born 30 Mar 1848 and he married 1st Virginia Estes 3 Oct 1867 and they had one child, She died and her married 2nd her sister Tennessee Estes They were daughter of Brackett and Mary A. Estes. Tennessee and Virginia were twins. One child by 1st wife and two by 2nd wife. He married Berry Y's daughter Sarah Thomas Cantrell 27
      Sept 1877. They were parents of 11 children I have several pictures of the children, Sorry can't solve the problem. He was 21 when he married Virginia Estes.
