James Cantley of Sebastian county AR (1870 & 1880 census)
I am looking for the mother of Martha J. Cantley (b. 1861/2 AR). I am also looking for more information about her father James Cantley (b. 1833 AR, per the 1870 Sebastian County AR census or 1844 AR per the 1880 census.) Actually, any information about them, including their siblings would be appreciated.
They are in Sugar Loaf, Sebastian County, AR in 1870 and 1880. I have determined that the family in the 1870 and 1880 censuses is the same family and James is the same James because the same set of twins is in both. However, Martha's name is incorrect in the 1870 census and James' age is almost the same in the 1880 census as it is in the 1870 census. Censuses sometimes contain incorrect information for varied reasons.
James' wife in 1870 was Mollie, age 20. She does not appear to be Martha's mother, as she would have been only 12 years old at the time Martha was born. While that is possible, she probably is not Martha's mother.
Martha J. Cantley married J. M. Bland in Sebastian County AR on 15 May 1884.
