Notes:

Quinter, Esther m Guillaume Quinter; Opel. Ch. (SWLR V1)

from Melinda: SWLR V1: My guess is these are Esther CANTEY's parents according to Rev. Hebert's reading of the source document. After viewing the microfilm of the original entry myself, I believe this is a misreading, and William's wife is Catherine RUSS not listed in the entry (and that there is no Esther listed as mother.) Also:
Catherine may be the daughter of Hezekiah Russ and Katherine Douglas, who are the parents of Hezekiah Russ (II). The Russ family was in South Carolina where the Cantey family originated. It is possible that the Cantey and Russ families in Louisiana immigrated together.
