Leona Cantonwine was the daughter of Charles Jacob & Bessie Amelia (Burch) Cantonwine, the granddaughter of Abraham and Elizabeth (White) Cantonwine, and the great-granddaughter of Charles and Mary Magdalena (Scholl) Cantonwine.
Charles, the patriarch of the Cantonwine family, immigrated to America from Prussia in 1806, arriving in Philadelphia, Penn., aboard the ship Orlando. The ship's passenger list shows "Chr. Kuntentwine, single man." The name Kuntentwine later evolved to Cantonwine, and Charles appears to be the only surnamed Kuntentwine/Cantonwine to immigrate to America. Eight or so years after his arrival in Philadelphia, in about 1814, Charles married Mary Magdalena Scholl, daughter of Charles Jacob & Margaret (Fuhr) Scholl, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania
Leona married James A. Skelton, son of Samuel A., & Bella (Turpin) Skelton. on Dec 31, 1917 in Clay County, Indiana. They had one son, Ralph Eugene.
