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 Kuntentwine/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 and Margret (Fuhr) Scholl, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania.
In August 1862, at the age of 24, Henry enlisted as a Private with the 32nd Infantry Regiment of Iowa (Union) and was assigned to Company F. He died of disease 13 months later (Sept. 8, 1863) in Brownsville, Arkansas.
