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). This hardcover book was
Printed on pH neutral paper, conforming to
Library of Congress standards, with an every name index.
Historical lineages of the Drinnon, Trent and
Slaton families are given as well as the Cantwells and Greenes.
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.
