Frank Cantonwine was the son Robert M. and Melissa A. (Sharpe) Cantonwine, the grandson of Abraham and Elizabeth (White) Cantonwine, and the great-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.

Abraham was one of the early Longmont, Colorado settlers. Frank Cantonwine was one of the first paid firefighters in Longmont. He never married.
