Notes |
- Physician
John Cantzon was christened John Charles Rene Jacques Cantzon. He arrived
in the Waxhaws area of Lancaster County, South Carolina sometime before
the Revolution. He was married to Sarah Dickey, was a practicing
physician known as "the French Doctor", and owned a considerable amount
of land. After John Cantzon's death, Sarah married Daniel Harper. He was
killed by Regulators for Tory activities, and Sarah took most of her
children overseas.
Joseph I. Waring, in his History of Medicine in S.C. 1670-1825, notes Dr.
John Cantzon in Waxhaws, 1763 (South Carolina J. Council Dec 6, 1763)
8:340, 10:55 . Page 391. (Note: I don't understand these reference
numbers, either).
Dr. John Jacob Cantzon owned land in Paxtang Township Pennsylvania next
to land of Moses Dickey and John Foster. A land indenture from John Jacob
Cantzon to John Buzzart is on file in Pennsylvania dated 26 July, 1763.
John Cantzon and Sarah Diggy (sic) were married 1 August, 1761 in
Paxtang, Pennsylvania by Rev. John Casper Stoever according to "Notes and
Queries Related to Pennsylvania" by William Henry Egle, Annual Volume for
1896, page 100. Clements' "North and South Carolina Marriages" shows the
marriage in Lancaster County, South Carolina. Since Paxtang is in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Clements may have mis-assumed. My guess
is they were married in Pennsylvania.
