Charles A. Cantonwine, Jr. was the son of Charles Cantonwine and Mary Magdalena (Scholl) Cantonwine, Sr.
Charles (Sr.), 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.
Charles married Julia Ann Denslow Oct 24, 1841 in Cedar County, Iowa. Julia was the daughter of John Hogeboom Denslow and Martha "Patsy" (Shepherd) Denslow.
Charles and Julia had seven children (5 daughters and 2 sons):
Elvira Jane married (1) Felix Evans; (2) Samuel A. Buckingham;
William married Susannah Riddle
Rebecca married John Mann Turner
Mary (no information)
Royal S. married Clara N. Cummins
Laura married Phillip M. Belknap
Lillie S. married Burris W. Bartholemew
Charles A. Cantonwine, Jr.'s birth year is between 1817-1820 based on census records. His death date and location are unknown, as well as where he is buried. Aside from census records, his name first appears in the following Washington Territory historical record where his title of "Dr." would seem to indicate that he was a physician:
History of Yakima Valley, Yakima, Kittitas, and Benton Counties by W. D. Lyman, p. 354
In the latter part of the seventies and early eighties the conception of the coming destiny of the Yakima Valley as a vast irrigated country had taken possession of many minds. As we have seen, a number of small canals and some large ones had begun operation in the central valley around Yakima City. Almost contemporary with those enterprises pioneer work began in the lower Valley in the vicinity of the present Prosser and Kiona. In 1878 J. M. Baxter and Mr. Lockwood undertook canal construction on the south side of the Yakima River. Dr. Charles Cantonwine had a stock ranch nearly opposite Baxter's, and he also entered upon ditch construction on the north side of the river. . . .
p. 848 IRRIGATION AND DEVELOPMENTS (of Lyman's book)
Dr. C. A. Cantonwin, now gone to the great beyond, is said to have been the father of irrigation in this section. No doubt this statement is correct, as there are several old private canals still in sight along the Yakima River, constructed in the early eighties.
By 1853 Charles and his family moved on to Oregon for the Oregon Donation Land Claims have him signing 2 affidavits for 2 men, Nathaniel Lamb and Peter Morgan, in Clackamas Co. in 1853 for land claims.
In addition, Charles' name also shows up in Clackamas Provisional Territory tax roll records as noted below:
