William Oscar Cantonwine was one of four sons born to Alfred Dennis and Hannah Etta (Guire) Cantonwine. William was the grandson of Jacob and Christena (Dilling/Dillon) Cantonwine and the great-grandson of Charles and Mary Cantonwine.

Charles, the patriarch of the Cantonwine family, immigrated to America from Prussia in 1806, arriving in Philadelphia, Penn., aboard the ship Orlando. The ship's passenger list shows "Chr. Kuntentwine, single man." The name Kuntentwine later evolved to Cantonwine, and Charles appears to be the only surnamed Kuntenwine/Cantonwine to immigrate to America. Eight or so years after his arrival in Philadelphia, in about 1814, Charles married Mary Magdalena Scholl, daughter of Charles Jacob & Margaret (Fuhr) Scholl, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania.

William married Ida Hope Burleson April 22, 1919 in Chaffee Co., Colorado and had one daughter, Ruth. He died at age 59, his wife Ida, at 75.
