Charles Jacob "Charley" Cantonwine was the son of Abraham and Elizabeth (White) Cantonwine and the grandson of Charles and Mary Magdalena (Scholl) 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 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 & Margaret (Fuhr) Scholl, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania.

On August 14, 1895, in Boulder Co., Colorado, Charles Jacob married Bessie Amelia Burch, daughter of John Franklin Burch and Mary Ann (Shuler) Burch. They had three children, Josephine, Claud, and Leona. Some years after the birth of Leona in 1900, Charles and Bessie divorced. In Sept. 1913, Bessie married Samuel Skelton in Vigo Co., Indiana.
