An American Family
The Cantrells
Our ancestors came to this country and settled in the southern United States well before
the Civil War.
Our ancestors who came to this New World in the 1600s. probably of British decent They
settled and tamed this vast land we know today as America,
And it is Ours,
We built this wonderful country "The United States Of America" and we paid for
with our own blood and will do so again to defend her and our fellow Americans,
We are all more "American" than anything else we stand behind our country and we
support our troops The Cantrell's, An American Family.
God Bless America
