When Daniel returned to the 7th S.C., he brought Andrew with him as a recruit. Within four months, Andrew was wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness on May 6, 1864 and died on May 30 in a Lynchburg, Virginia hospital. His cause of death was listed as Cephalaemia (blood congestion of the brain), and he was buried at the Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg, Virginia.
