Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
Reuben Cantrell was a North Carolina colonist.

Reuben was born about 1757 possibly in Orange County, North Carolina. He was the son of Isaac Cantrell and Nancy Cloud. Death date is unknown, but he was living in 1807 at the time of the settlement of the lawsuit filed by his half-brother, Peter Cantrell.

Reuben was named as an heir of Isaac Cantrell in the lawsuit filed by his half-brother, Peter Cantrell, and the settlement thereof in 1807. (See details of this lawsuit on the profile page for Isaac Cantrell.)

Reuben was living in 1800 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Living next door to him, or very close, were siblings Abraham, John, Daniel, Moses, and Isaac Cantrell and George Pirkle, husband of his sister Sarah. In his household were:

  • 1 male age 26-44 [Reuben]
  • 1 female age 16-25
  • 2 females under 10 years of age[1]

This Reuben could not have been the father of Jacob and Samuel Cantrell. According to Christie, that Reuben was the son of John Cantrell and lived and died in Rockingham County, North Carolina.[2] Based on the 1800 census this Reuben had two daughters, no sons in 1800. Samuel Cantrell was born about 1785 and should have been on the 1800 census. He is not.

Reuben was born about 1757. He passed away after 1830.

Cantrell-6881 and Cantrell-21 appear to represent the same person because: based on birth and census records in SC, appears that these are intended to be the same person....

The "Cantrill-Cantrell Genealogy" page referenced here goes to Reuben, son of John, born 1762, more properly corresponding to Cantrell-110. (Likewise, the Find A Grave page used as the only resource there more properly corresponds to this Reuben.) It is not entirely clear that these are two different men, but if not, then we need to determine whether his parents were John + Hannah, or Isaac + Nancy. All we seem to have are conflicting secondary sources, although the information in this Reuben's biography would appear to establish that there are two different Reubens and that this one is the son of Isaac. Can a link to the referenced lawsuit be provided?

Dawn,

You can't be a first cousin unless one of your parents was a sibling of one of his parents. And I really don't think that's very likely.
