She was born 1672 in Flint, Wales1, and died August 30, 1755 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA1. Notes for RICHARD L. CANTRELL: [davidhunterbrown.ged] This document is largely taken from pages 3 through 5 of Susan Cantrill Christie's book The Cantrill-Cantrell Genealogy, published in 1908 by the Grafton Press. It is available in photo-reprint from Tuttle Antiquarian Books of Rutland, Vermont, telephone: (802) 773-8229. Additional material was written and incorporated by Young Cantrall around 1961. RICHARD CANTRILL Tradition says that Richard Cantrill was born in Virginia, that his father was Joseph who migrated to Philadelphia from Virginia, and that said Joseph was a direct descendant of William II. [Taken from Adamic's "My America", page 1. -- Y.C.] Richard was a resident of Philadelphia, Pa., prior to 1689. In July, 1689, he was appointed administrator to the estate of Joseph Cantrill, an unmarried nephew who drowned while swimming in the Schuykill River May 10, 1689. It has been impossible to find records to prove the parentage, or birthplace, of Richard Cantrill, but there is no doubt that he came from the Derbyshire branch of the English family. His name does not appear in any list of emigrants and he may have been a descendant of William, or Henry Cantrell, of Virginia [who came to Virginia in 1628 -- Y.C.]. Fisher says in his "Making of Pennsylvania" that "quite a number of Virginians migrated from that Colony to the Banks of the Delaware before the settlement of Philadelphia by Penn, in 1678, under the rule of the Duke of York." From "Pennsylvania Archives" Vol. XIX, Series II: "At a meeting of the Commissioners, 6th of July, 1692. Present: Captain William Markham, Robert Turner, John Goodson, . . . Richard Cantrill requesting a warrant for a lot of 30 ft. upon Third Street, near the Burying Ground, was granted." From the Original Records, Deed Book D, 53, page 50: "Richard Cantrill to Thomas Hall, Sold 30 ft. x 190 ft. May 13, 1693, Third and Market Streets." In Patent Book A, Vol. II, page 344, there is a lease for twenty-one years (May 5, 1702) made by Edward Shippen, Griffith Owen and James Logan as Proprietary and Governor in Chief of Pennsylvania and territories thereunto belonging . . . of a . . . "Certin tract of land between Fifth and Sixth streets containing three acres and sixty perches" (here follows a full description by metes and bounds) "to Richard Cantrill, Brickmaker, with all woods and underwood and trees, ways, waters, water courses, liberties, profits, commodities, advantages and opportunities whatsoever." [Note: at South end of Philadelphia, near Delaware. See also in Vol. 53, page 20, "Pennsylvania History and Biography" -- Y.C.] The rental was forty shillings per year, "current silver money of the Province." . . . "Said Richard Cantrill shall build, erect and set up a substantial brick house one story and a half in height and in breadth eighteen feet and in length thirty-six feet; the first story of one brick and a half and the second story of one brick, and further that said Richard Cantrill shall make an orchard upon some part of the hereby granted land, with at least eighty good bearing apple trees planted thereon, and shall also well and sufficiently fence and enclose the said demised land." In "Pennsylvania Archives" we find: "Cantrill, Old Rights: Richard Cantrill, city lot 3 acres, 10 day, 10 month, 1701. Rich. return 3 acres, 3 month 1702". Later the Archives record a "Caveat against surveying of land adjoining Richard Cantrill's estate, issuing to the heirs, or executors of the said Richard Cantrill or any under him, May 31, 1753." No record could be found of the disposition of the estate of Richard Cantrill, either by his heirs or executors, but he evidently died prior to May 31, 1753. There is a tradition common in the family that the first Cantrill in Philadelphia had a brick yard and built the first brick house in that city. Records show that the "first brick house in Philadelphia was owned by Robert Turner in 1684-5," and in the same year Richard's brother-in-law, Daniel Pegge, also built a brick house on "Pegge's Run." It is possible that Richard had the contract for erecting both these houses, which would easily account for the tradition in the family. [Note - 1961 - we know now that Richard got the 3 acres for the avowed purpose of making bricks. In Adamics "My America", Edward Adams Cantrell says that Joseph was the first Cantrell in Philadelphia. He would have been Richard's father, and very possibly built the first brick house. -- Y.C.] In about 1693 Richard Cantrill married Dorothy Jones, daughter of Ellis and Jane Jones, who came to America from either Flint, or Denbigh, Wales, in the ship Submission, Sept., 1682. From the log of the Submission: "Ellis Jones, age 45, Jane Jones, age 40, Barbara Jones, age 13, Mary Jones, age 12, Dorothy Jones, age 10, Isaac Jones, age 4 mos." The "Pennsylvania Historical Magazine," in a list of names of "Important Colonists, who came in the Submission," mentions Ellis Jones. He was a resident of Bucks County, long, and in the Welsh Tract Purchases his name appears as having purchased one hundred acres in Nantonell Parish, Radnor. Barbara Jones married Daniel Pegge of "Pegge's Run;" Mary Jones married her cousin Isaac Jones, and Dorothy Jones married Richard Cantrill. Ellis Jones and his family were Quakers and as Richard belonged to the Church of England, Richard and Dorothy were married, to use a Quaker term, "Out of Meeting." Dorothy Jones Cantrill seems to have been a young lady of considerable spirit and independence of character. She not only married the man of her choice, irrespective of her religious training, but later evidence is found of her love of gayety and society in an old history of Philadelphia, where she figures at a masquerade ball, much to the horror of her more quiet Quaker friends. She seems to have inherited her love of society from her mother for the name of Jane Jones appears as a witness to the marriage of a great many Quakers of her day, and the Quaker weddings were probably the principal events affording those of that sect an expression to their social instinct. The will of Jane Jones, relict of Ellis Jones, executed at Philadelphia, Aug. 3, 1730, and recorded at Philadelphia, Dec. 27, 1730, [S.C.Christie has Dec. 27, 1732 -- E.K.] mentions her grandchildren: "Joseph Cantril, Zebulon Cantril, and Dorothy Cantril" to each of whom she bequeaths: "One English shilling, or the value of it in coyn current". Children of Richard and Dorothy Cantrill: The Records of the Race Street Meeting House contain the following under "Burial of those not Friends: Mary, Jan 6, 1695, parents Richard and Dorothy Cantrill." Joseph was born about 1695. Zebulon was born about 1697. Zebulon is from whom the Cantralls of central Illinois are descended. Dorothy, of whom we have no record. Richard L. Cantrill of Charles City, Virginia, was born in March 1666 and died May 13, 1753. He was a member of the Church of England and married Dorothy Jones (1672- 1727), a Quaker from Wales, against family wishes in 1693 in Philadelphia. Richard was a friend of William Penn. He also was founder of the first brick factory in this country with his partner Daniel Peggy. They built the first brick house in Philadelphia. Some of their brick houses can still be seen on what was Peggy's Run now called Willow Street.[ingram1956.ged] RICHARD CANTRIL WAS BORN IN THE EARLY 1660s IN DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND. THE ESTIMATED PERIOD OF HIS BIRTH HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT HE HAD REACHED HIS MAJORITY WHEN HE CAME TO AMERICA IN THE 1680s. HIS SHIRE OF BIRTH HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FROM A PETITION THAT HE SUBMITTED TO JOHN BLACKWELL, ESQ., GOVERNOR OF THE PROVINCE OF PENNSYLVANIA, IN JULY 1689, STATING THAT HIS NEPHEW, JOSEPH CANTRIL HAD DROWNED IN THE SCHUYKILL RIVER, 10 MAY 1689, AND THAT JOSEPH HAD OLDER AND YOUNGER BROTHERS IN DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND. HE POSTED A BOND OF ONE HUNDRED POUNDS, WHICH WAS CONSIDERABLE MONEY AT THAT TIME. THIS DOCUMENT IS ON FILE AT THE REGISTER OF WILLS, CITY HALL, PHILADELPHIA, PA. ADMIN. BOOK "A" PAGE 66, FILE NO. 54, 1689. WE KNOW FROM THE HEARTH TAX RECORDS OF DERBYSHIRE IN THE EARLY 1660s THAT THERE WAS SEVERAL CANTRIL FAMILIES LIVING IN THE SHIRE. OVER THE YEARS, SEVERAL DESCENDANTS OF THE FAMILY HAVE TRAVELED TO DERBYSHIRE AND SEARCHED FOR RICHARD'S BIRTH AND PARENTAGE. IN 1986 AND 87, A FAMILY RESEARCHER, LOCATED A BAPTISMAL RECORD OF A RICHARD CANTRIL, SON OF RICHARD AND ALICE CANTRIL WHO WAS BAPTIZED 13 MAY 1666 IN BAKEWELL PARISH, DERBYSHIRE. IN THE NEARBY PARISH OF ASHOVER, WE FIND WHERE A JOSEPH CANTRILL, SON OF WILLIAM AND ELIZABETH CANTRILL WAS CHRISTENED 23 DEC. 1666. THERE IS RECORD OF A RICHARD AND MARY CANTRILL IN BAKEWELL PARISH IN 1694 AND 1697. ACCORDING TO TRADITION AND LAND RECORDS, WE BELIEVE THAT BY PROFESSION, RICHARD WAS A BRICK MAKER AND PERHAPS A MASON, AND OPERATED A BRICKYARD IN PHILADELPHIA. NO RECORD HAS BEEN FOUND OF THE IMMIGRATION OF EITHER RICHARD OR JOSEPH TO THE PENNSYLVANIA COLONY IN THE 1680s. THERE IS TRADITION IN THE FAMILY THAT HE ERECTED THE FIRST BRICK HOUSE IN PHILADELPHIA. WE KNOW FROM PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY THAT THE 1ST BRICK HOUSE BUILT WAS THE HOUSE OF ROBERT TURNER, BUILT AT THE SW CORNER OF FRONT AND MULBERRY (ARCH) STREET. FROM A LETTER WRITTEN BY ROBERT TURNER TO WM. PENN, IN ENGLAND DATED 3RD OF AUGUST 1685, "AND SINCE I BUILT MY BRICK HOUSE, THE FOUNDATION OF WHICH WAS LAID AR THY GOING--". WILLIAM PENN HAD SAILED FROM ENGLAND IN AUG. 1682 AND LANDED IN OCT. 1684 AT WONDER IN SUSSEX. HE WAS NOT TO RETURN TO PENNSYLVANIA UNTIL THE WINTER OF 1699. HE STAYED UNTIL 1701, WHEN HE RETURNED TO ENGLAND, NEVER TO RETURN. TURNER WENT ON TO SAY IN HIS LETTER THAT, "THOMAS SMITH AND DANIEL PEGG ARE PARTNERS, AND SET TO MAKING OF BRICK THIS YEAR, AND THEY ARE VERY GOOD." RICHARD MARRIED DOROTHYJONES IN THE EARLY 1690s. SHE WAS BORN IN 1672 IN WALES, ENGLAND. THE NEXT RECORD WE FIND OF RICHARD AND DOROTHY CANTRIL WAS IN 1703 DELAWARE COURT PROCEEDINGS AS EXTRACTED BY SCHARF. AMONG THE GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS. "DOROTHY, WIFE OF RICHARD CANTRELL, PRESENTED FOR MASKING IN MEN'S CLOTHES THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS, "WALKING AND DANCING IN THE HOUSE OF JOHN SIMES AT 9 OR 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT." JOHN SIMES, WHO GAVE THE MASQUERADE PARTY, WAS PRESENTED FOR KEEPING A DISORDERLY HOUSE, "A NURSERY OF DEBOTCH YE INHABITANTS AND YOUTH OF THIS CITY..TO YE GRIEF OF AND DISTURBANCE OF PEACEFUL MINDS AND PROPAGATING YE THRONE OF WICKEDNESS AMONGSTUS." FOUR CHILDREN CAN BE VERIFIED FROM A WILL AND BURIAL RECORDS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A JANE______ AND MARY PRICE MENTIONED IN THE WILL MAY ALSO HAVE BEEN THEIR CHILDREN. IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON IN THOSE DAYS TO NAME A SECOND CHILD, THE SAME AS ONE WHO DIED IN INFANCY: 1. MARY CANTRIL. THE RECORDS OF THE RACE STREET MEETINGHOUSE CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING UNDER "BURIALS OF THOSE NOT FRIENDS." MARY 1-6-1695, PARENTS, RICHARD AND DOROTHY CANTRIL. 2.* JOSEPH CANTRIL 3. ZEBULON CANTRIL 4. DOROTHY CANTRIL, UNMARRIED IN 1730, AND MENTIONED IN THE WILL OF HER GRANDMOTHER JONES. NO OTHER RECORDS LOCATED.

JOSEPH C.4 CANTRELL (RICHARD L.3, RICHARD2, WILLIAM1)7,8 was born Abt. 1695 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA9, and died Abt. 1755 in New Castle County, Pennsylvania (now Delaware), USA9. He married CATHERINE HEATH9 Abt. 1718 in Holy Trinity Church, New Castle, Pennsylvania, USA9, daughter of JOHN HEATH and HANNAH HAINES. She was born Abt. 1697 in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts, USA9, and died Bef. 1812 in New Castle County, Pennsylvania (now Delaware), USA9. Notes for JOSEPH C. CANTRELL: [davidhunterbrown.ged] From material prepared by Eddy and Glenda Harrel - Reference attributed to "Early Families of the North Carolina Counties of Rockingham and Stokes with Revolutionary Service", compiled and published by members of James Hunter Chapter, National Society, Daughter of American Revolution of Madison, North Carolina, published 1977: Joseph spent his early boyhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Joseph and Catharina lived in New Castle County, Pennsylvania on or near the site of the present city of Wilmington, Delaware, and were attendants at Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church before 1720. Their first three children were baptised at the old historical church, known as Old Swedes, which is one of the oldest and quaintest churches in this country. Joseph was probably a farmer in these lower counties of Pennsylvania, which later became part of Delaware. A published work of the wills in the county of New Castle fails to reveal a will of Joseph or Catharina. It is possible that Joseph accompanied some of the sons on the move south to North Carolina. In 1752 and 1753, son John was taxed for two white polls in Orange County, North Carolina. One may have been his father. A complete list of the children of John and Catharina has never been found. The nine children listed were compiled from family records and the court and county records of Orange County North Carolina. Christina Parish was mostly situated on both sides of Christina Creek, partly on both sides of Brandywine Creek in New Castle County and in the Hundreds of New Castle, Christina and Brandywine. It stretched two Swedish miles in length, and one in breadth. The most remote families of the parish were not more than six and a half English miles distance from the church. The city of Wilmington is build on the Swedish "church land" and the charter for the town was granted on 1735. At the time Joseph Cantril went there, it was known as Christina. Many of the earliest records of this locality have been lost, or destroyed, and at best are very incomplete. There is evidence, however, from the scattered records in New Castle County today, that descendents of Richard Cantril lived there from before 1720 until 1797, though the majority moved south during this period. A published work of the wills and probates of New Castle County during the period of Joseph's residence there fails to reveal his will or probate. As he was a man in his 50s when his sons moved south to Carolina, it can be assumed that he made the move with his sons. In the tax list submitted to the Orange County Court, North Carolina for the year 1754, his son John's household listed two taxable white males. As John's sons were under 16 years of age, it can be assumed that one of these was his father, Joseph. Notes for CATHERINE HEATH: [davidhunterbrown.ged] Catharina and Joseph attended the Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church in Wilmington, Delaware. Three of their children were baptized at this oldest and quaintest church in the nation. A complete list of the children of Joseph and Catharina has never been found. The nine children listed were compiled from the court and county records of Orange County, North Carolina. The sixth child (a female, name unknown) was born about 1722. Children of JOSEPH CANTRELL and CATHERINE HEATH are: i. HANNAH5 CANTRELL9, b. March 20, 1718/199. ii. CANTRELL9, b. Abt. 17229. iii. JOHN CANTRELL9, b. Abt. 17249. iv. JOSEPH CANTRELL9,10, b.
