Descendant of William Cantrell, the first Cantrell in North America. William arrived from England with Captain John Smith in Jamestown, Virginia on April 20, 1607


Lanceford, born about 1787 in Rockingham County, North Carolina, was the son of Rev. Isaac Sr. & Mary Linder Cantrell. In his youth he moved with family to Spartanburg County, South Carolina.

He married Martha Cantwell about 1817, bringing his bride into the home of his mother. They lived there on the banks of Buck Creek for over twenty years. They were the parents of twelve or more children.
