Stephen Cantrell was the son of Zebulon and Sarah Montgomery Cantrell. The DAR designated his mother as DAR Ancestor Number A132693 for the role she served in the American Revolution. He married Mary Ann Blakemore, daughter of Major John Blakemore of the "Donelson Expedition". The DAR designated Major Blakemore, DAR Ancestor Number A011014. The union produced ten children:
Stephen Cantrell 1783 – 1854
Sarah Cantrell 1785 – 1868
Ota Cantrell 1787 – 1846
Alfred Cantrell 1790 – 1826
William Cantrell 1792 – 1860
Zebulon Pike Cantrell 1794 – 1865
Mary Cantrell 1798 – 1839
Darby Henley Cantrell 1801 – 1883
James Madison Cantrell 1803 – 1837
George Washington Clinton Cantrell 1805 – 1881
Cantrell, DAR Ancestor Number A018959, was a Revolutionary War Soldier employed as a Captain of the Guard by the Continental Commissioners of North Carolina. As a reward for his loyal service, he was given 640 acres in Davidson County, TN.
Katherine Keogh White wrote in her book, "The King's Mountain Men", that Cantrell was one of the Heroes who fought at the Battle of King's Mountain on October 7, 1780. The battle has long been regarded as the turning point of the American Revolution. Despite White's accolades as a reliable resource and the high regard for her book, closer examination has proven that her book, just as Trish Carden's list of Patriots, was rife with error. Both have proven they should be dismissed as fiction. There was no proof that Cantrell fought at BKM: neither of the respected researchers, Lyman C. Draper nor Dr. Bobby Gilmer Moss, mentioned his participation.
After the American Revolution, Cantrell continued a life of public service: in 1792 and 1793, he captained a company to protect the citizens against the Indians. On March 28, 1796 when the First Legislature of Tennessee convened in Knoxville, Cantrell and William Montgomery were the first representatives from Sumner County. Tennessee State records show that Stephen Cantrell served on a committee to design the Tennessee State Seal. In 1797 he served as Senator from Sumner County. (Reference THE CANTRILL-CANTRELL GENEALOGY by Susan Cantrill Christie, Page 112.)
The U.S. Headstone Applications for Military Veterans, recorded that Stephen Cantrell was buried in the Cantrell Cemetery in Goodletsville, TN. While the location of the cemetery was unknown, it was, most likely, on the property Captain Cantrell had been awarded for his military service.
