Notes: From Gregory Donald Cantrell: "While reading through your website, I came upon the following passage (see below) talking about the confusion created as Lonza suddenly appearing as the "Head of Household" previously held by John Keaton Cantrell. My father knew Lonza (who he called Uncle Lonzie) very well and the two of them had a long rambling conversation at a family reunion shortly before Lonzie's death. During the conversation, Lonzie related his memory of being "adopted" by John Keaton at a very early age. Lonzie's parents were Elijah and Margaret. According to Lonzie, one day when he was very young (younger than 6), John Keaton came to his home, picked him up and put him on his shoulder, and told Elijah "this one is mine, you can raise the rest" and took Lonzie home. From that day forward, Lonzie was raised by his grandfather John Keaton as if he was his own. Dad related this story to me several times, most recently just before his own death last year."

Also, "For Margaret Ann Cantrell - I have a photo of her tombstone, located in Morgan Co., Kentucky. Shows birth February 14, 1873, death March 5, 1958.

I have secondary source information that suggests her parents were Preston Bowling and Nancy J. Trimble. An annotated copy of 1880 Morgan Co. census shows daughter Margaret A, age 9, in their household (so the age is incorrect by 2 years). I am working on primary source information to confirm her parents' names."
