Notes:
Andrew Sylvester Canterbury's brother, Nicholas J. Z. Canterberry, enlisted in Co. B. of the 44th Alabama Infantry Regiment at Selma, Alabama, on March 29, 1862. He and 44th arrived in Richmond on July 1, but the unit was decimated by illness and many, including Nicholas, were listed as not fit for duty on August 31, 1862, and missed the Second Battle of Bull Run. Nicholas was also reported ill on September 17, 1862 and missed the Battle of Sharpsburg. He was discharged from duty for health reasons on October 1, 1862, and he returned to Alabama. He later enlisted in the Bibb County Militia.
Their parents were Zachariah Canterbury and Sarah Canterbury, who moved to what is present Bibb County about 1811.
