Notes
General:
Louis, a native of Paris, France, for the love of liberty, volunteered his services and was appointed Capt. of a grenedier Company. He accompanied Marshal Count Rochambeau to America and landed at Rhode Island. They then joined the Continental Troops under General George Washington and marched through the different states viz: Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and to Virginia where they met Lord Cornwallis at Little York and conquered him after severe action. Washington gave the command of the American armies to Layfayette, and Hamilton, the French General, gave the French division to Baron Viomel to attack the different entrenchments of the British. At the outset of the action, the two divisions rushed fearlessly though they received a tremendous shower of grape, cannon, musket balls, and bomb shells. They never wavered for a moment, but, rushed on and captured the entrenchments, which led to surrender. Capt. Louis Cantelou received some 7 or 8 bayonet wounds and at the close of the action was seriously injured by the bursting of a bombshell fired by the enemy. At the close of the war, which took place shortly afterwards, the French troops embarked for the West Indies. In consequence of the wounds Capt. Cantelou had received, he remained in Virginia until he recovered. A year or two afterwards, he married Alice Crymes by whom he had 5 children. In 1797, they moved to Augusta, Georgia, and there resided until his children were grown. He then moved to his plantation in Edgefield, South Carolina (known as Martintown) (the Lawrence Miller Place) and lived there until his death in 1818.

Notes
General:
Louis was born into a family that was considered fairly wealthy at that time and the federal census records support that fact, showing that they owned a large amount of personal and real property. Louis enlisted as a confederate soldier in the American Civil War on September 17, 1861 at Hickory Grove, Alabama. He was assigned to Company A, 6th Alabama Infantry, CSA. He was wounded in the neck or collarbone and in his left foot during the war. His wounds were received at the Battle of Seven Pines, Virginia, and at the Battle of Cedar Run, Virginia. He was discharged from the army in April, 1865.Marriage Notes (Fannie H. SANDERSON)
In a story passed down through the family, Louis took his personal slave into the war with him to care for him and carry his rifle and other belongings for him when he was in the field. This same story relates how he was disinherited by his family when he married a poor country girl (Martha) instead of the class of girl his parents wanted him to marry. The federal census records seem to support this story since they show him owning no personal or real property after he was married to Martha.
Even though he was well educated and was a school teacher, he spent most of his life after marrying Martha moving from place to place working in textile mills as a laboror. At one time, he taught at a Woman's College that was located at Oak Bowery, Chambers County, Alabama. Even though he was well educated, he never taught any of his children to read or write.
Whether Louis and Fannie divorced, or, Fannie died ending this marriage is
unknown.
