Hi Wanda, I have a brick wall when it comes to a Cantrell line in my family. This maybe a long shot, but I thought that I would ask if you have ever heard of a G. Wesley Cantrell who married a Rebecca Susan Custer " Susie". I know that they never had children and that he died before 1910. They are both from the Lamar/Marion Co., AL and Monroe Co. MS area. If not, would you know of anyone that I might ask about him?
