Abner Cantrell & Amanda E. Pritt were married 15 Mar 1861 by Wm. S. Breedon
in Kanawha County, VA/WV. According to marriage records, Abner, was born
circa 1838 in Greenbrier County, VA/WV to Christopher & Betsey A. Cantrell.
The same record indicates that Amanda was born circa 1832 in Monroe County to
James Andrew Pritt & Esther Robertson.

In the 1870 Kanawha County Census we find Abner "Canterill" as HOH. He is
living without Amanda, who had died in 1869. The house is recorded as
follows:

267-267
Abner CANTERILL    26    VA    Farmer
James                    8 VA
Robert                    5    WV
Albert                    2 WV
William                17    VA
Margaret PRITT        20 VA
Franklin PRITT        14    VA

James, Robert & Albert are sons of Abner Cantrell & Amanda Pritt. I am trying
to figure out William Cantrell's relationship to Abner. I suppose that he is
Abner Cantrell's younger brother, cousin or nephew. Margaret Pritt is the
sister of Amanda Pritt Cantrell. I do not know Franklin Pritt.

The Abner "Canterill" household is next door to:

268-268
Easter PRITT        55        VA
Martha     21        VA
Andrew            19        VA
Harry                15 VA

This is the home of Ester/Esther/Easter PRITT, the mother of sisters Margaret
Pritt & Amanda Cantrell Pritt.

Does anyone know the relationship of William Cantrell & Abner? Or the
ancestry of Christopher & Betsey Cantrell of Greenbrier County?

Thank you in advance for any information or guidance. I look forward to
hearing from you & learning more about this very elusive family.

Sincerely,

Mike Peters
