"It is possible that Joshua Cantrill was a relative. He lived in Pittsylvania Co., VA, in the 1780s. In 1794 in Mercer Co., KY., Lewis Castleman sued Joshua Cantrill regarding an unpaid debt. He is found on the 1800 census in Montgomery Co., KY. He signed his will on 20/26 Aug. 1800 and it was probated Oct. 14, 1800, Montgomery Co., KY. He named wife Ann and children: Wyatt, Zebulon, Joshua, and William. Executors: Zebulon Cantrill and James Graham. Witnessed by Thomas Isles/Iles, J./I. H. Jenkins, and Andrew Biggs. (Montgomery County Will Abstracts compiled by Mrs. W.P. Oldham, pp. 77, 83 (another abstract of same will, but Wyatt was omitted and there are a few changes in spellings.) From Kentucky Records - Early Wills and Marriages, Old Bible Records and Tombstone Inscriptions, by Julia Ardery, Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., 1969.) It is possible that Mary Cantrill who married Morris Thomas was also a relative. Morris and Mary left Chester Co., PA., in 1777 and moved to what is now Hardy Co., WVA. Their descendants lived in Hardy Co., now WVA, Pittsylvania Co., VA., and Mercer Co., KY."
