Hi Tracey
I will gladly share any info I have. If you check into Brig. General James R. Cantey, CSA form Alabama, you'll find quite a story about his slave, Winter Canty. Winter not only refused his reward of freedom for saving the Generals life in the Mexican-American War, but also stood side by side with Mrs. Cantey to defend the Plantation from the Yankee Army. Winter seems to have been quite a man in his own right. Well worth some more research. Anything I can do to help, just ask.
James R. Cantey, Jr. (born in Alabama Jan. 31, 1951)
