According to early family genealogist, Susan Cantrill Christie, the first wife of John Cantrell was a Brittain; and probably a sister to Joseph Brittain, who lived very near John Cantrell, and who was recorded in various public records in old Orange County, Virginia. During that period there was also a James Brittain who was on a tax list with his brother Joseph, in Rowan County, North Carolina, which adjoined Orange County, North Carolina, to the west.
