Michael Cantonwine was the oldest of twelve children born to 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.

Michael married Catherine Myers/Myres in about 1841 and they had five children:
Susan (m. Ira Baldwin)
David (m. Eliza Elson)
Daniel (m. Ella Ione Ketchum)
Maria/Mariah (m. John T. Miller)
Alexander (m. Mary; m. Ellen)

After Michael's death in 1851, Catherine married Daniel Shaffer October 12, 1854 in Vinton, Benton, IA.
