This might be a long shot, but I do have Levi A. FORREST, b. c1836 or 1837 (in KY or TN, depending on the census). On July 6, 1870 in Charleston, Mississippi Co., Missouri, he married Louisiana "Lucy Ann" SIMMONS, (b. March 13, 1852, Bradshaw Twp., Greene Co., AR), dau. of James A. SIMMONS who is believed to have been the brother of my g grandfather, John SIMMONS, who from the 1830's until his death in 1890, lived in Weakley and Obion counties in TN. Levi's parents (according to a family researcher) were Jackson FORREST, b. c1823, Gibson Co., TN and Martha CANTRELL, b. c1819, TN. Jackson and Martha's children were the above mentioned Levi A. FORREST; Mary A. FORREST, b.c1840, TN; Benjamin FORREST, b. c1842, TN; Greenberry B. FORREST, b. March 14, 1846, TN; Nancy FORREST, b. c1848, TN; Peter FORREST, b. c1849; and Watson FORREST, b. c1850 in Bradshaw Twp., Greene Co., AR. I don't know if any of these people might connect with your line, but Levi, his wife and children, migrated to Charleston, Mississippi Co., Missouri (which is not too far from Dunklin Co., Missouri) between 1860 and 1870. I have no other information about Martha CANTRELL FORREST, Levi's mother. Good luck with your research!

The War of Northern Agression raider was William Clarke QUANTRILL 1837-1865) not CANTRELL. Naturally that history of his exploits was written by YANKEES.
