Son of Henry and Anna "Ankie" (nee Smith) Cantrell, James Talbot married Sarah Parris circa 1850 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. She was the daughter of William and Mary (Ezell) Parris. Sarah was born on the banks of Buck Creek and grew up there, attending Buck Creek Baptist Church, the church that Reverend Isaac Cantrell had helped established. Rev.
