Hello,
I am Dr. Richard Cantrell and I was raised in Albany, Georgia.
I was born in 1954 and my father was James Howard Cantrell.
He was born in March 1915 or 1916, probably in Tennessee, his father
was Marion CANTRELL. He supposedly was married to a Cherokee Indian,
last name FRYE or FRY. As both grandparents passed on prior to my birth
and my father spoke little of them except of his Indian heritage, I have
little to go on. I know that my Grandparents were married in Tennessee
probably at the turn of the century give or take ten years but I don't
know the county or anything like that and I know that the Cantrell's
came to Tennessee from Georgia or South Carolina. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.
