Have you checked the Kantner family in those same states?
My own great-great grandfather, John Kantner, hid from me in a particular census for a long time because his surname appeared as Kentner that year.In my original hometown, Kentners acknowledge that they are related to the Kantners - who did indeed come to Ohio from Pennsylvania.
The line is the classic Pennysylvania Dutch, tracing to the surname Gander in what is now Germany, back in the 1660s.One researcher says this family can be traced on back to Switzerland.
