This publication is the culmination of thirteen years of research into the descendants and ancestry of this family, providing an insight into their proud heritage and the remarkable legacy they passed on from generation to generation. David Cantwell, the son of a Revolutionary War soldier and his wife, Mary "Polly" Greene, a daughter of a veteran of the War of 1812, were joined in life through marriage and by more than just the residual experiences of war that were surely a part of both of their childhood memories. Through the 6000 plus descendants of this couple that the author describes in this 500+ page volume, you will be able to see the fruits of their labor unfold down through the centuries to the present day. Over 7,000 descendants from all across the country those that migrated from the ancestral Tennessee counties of Hawkins and Hancock are interwoven with their relatives that remained in the Tennessee homeland. Highlighting the family stories and documented events are more than 400 photographs of descendants, young and old. Mrs. Garner, a genealogical and historical researcher, award-winning author, and a Cantwell-Greene descendant, has provided an outstanding family history, with over 21,000 people mentioned. Copies of the book are no longer available from the author (none available after March 2004).

July 2008 addendum ----- The book is now out of of print but is available widely in libraries, including Salt Lake City, Allen County Public Library, etc. I think it is good for people to know of it, but just that it can no longer be bought.
