In my family (the gambles) theres a legend that says we are supposedly directly related 2 the cantrell's. The story i was told was that one of the cantrell's had a slave wife and a best friend whos last name was gamble. when cantrell went off to join the army he asked gamble to look after his slave wife until he got bak. apparently wen cantrell returned gamble had sold his wife to another master and fled the area, so cantrell tracked him down, killed him, and then took his name in order to hide from the law.
So i was just wondering if this is possibly true and if u have a source that u r getting any information from, if u could get bak 2 me with the answer. I would appreciate it.
Thank you
