RE: Mr. McIntosh's surname list including Cantey.
I'm not a Cantey researcher, so I don't know what might be already 
familiar and what might be new.  But just this week I ran across two 
interesting little Cantey notes.  One, in H.A.M. Smith's study of the 
Upper Ashley River (SC Historical and Genealogical Magazine, vol 20, p. 
192) has a discussion of Cantey landholdings on the Ashley from 1695, 
long before they migrated to Camden.  By 1800, "so completely had their 
identification with the Ashley River been lost that the writer was once 
informed by a member of the family that Camden was the point of their 
first settlement..."
Another Cantey note, which I found in the records of Barbados: 
	Abstract of the will of Darby CANTY, stiller
	St James Parish [Barbados], 15 July 1687
	god dau Sarah Murphey, the dau of Morris Murphey decd & his wf
	the now wf to John Kernim of St Michaels Parish; wf Margaret
	Canty, signed Darby (x) O'Canty
	Wit: John (x) Aris Sr., John (x) Aris Jr., Jno: O'Elliott,
	Elizabeth Jafford, Ann (x) Cameron
	Proved 17 Aug 1687
