Elijah born 1780 NC lived Hickman Co., Tenn. died 1841. wife Margarette. I believe she was a Brown of Ky. Found a marriage record for Elijah Cantrell and Margarette Brown 1814 in Ky. Their oldest son was James Brown Cantrell. There are numerous Cantrell databases but my Elijah cannot be found in any of the databases online or in the Cantrell family History book by Christy. They must connect, my gg uncle had this book and after he passed away the book must have been thrown away, no one can find it. Hope someone can help me. Will share my data on all my lines.
