***********
Andrew Perry Cantrell did enlist in the confederate army, but within six months was recorded as a deserter. He spent the rest of the war staying in hiding in north Georgia along with many other men who did not want to fight against the Union Army. When he left the army in South Carolina he traveled at night, hid out in daytime and sometimes disguised himself as he made his way back to Gilmer County, Georgia where his family lived. As told by his daughter who heard it from him directly.
