The young men had been intimate friends from childhood, but a short time before there had been a bitter quarrel between them and each refused to speak to the other or to recognize his existence in any way. At the Battle of Frazier’s Farm, Williams saw one of the color bearers reel; without hesitation he sprang forward and seized the flag, and upholding its bearer, fought his way to a place of safety. Weak from wounds that he himself had received, he dropped his burden and looked for the first time at the face, which had been resting on his shoulder. At the same time the exhausted color bearer regained consciousness and the two old friends gazed into each other’s eyes. Jones raised his weak hand, which was taken by his former playmate. The sorely wounded man was taken to a hospital where his early friend remained beside him until the end, which occurred six weeks later, when he passed out, clinging to the last to the hand of a boyhood friend.

The following was authored by Beverly Dean Peoples. In it you will find a wealth of information concerning the family of Lieutenant Dean.
Seventy-four years before the Civil War began, ancestors of Confederate Army soldier Lieutenant Augustus Aaron “Gus” Dean (1840-1935) settled in the old Pendleton District of South Carolina. In 1787, Samuel Dean (1751-1826) and Gwendolyn “Gwenny” James Dean (1754-1835), the paternal grandparents of Gus Dean, arrived in the foothills of Upstate South Carolina, having migrated from Washington County, Maryland. They established a sizable plantation on Mountain Creek in what is presently southern Anderson County. The move of these ancestors to the Deep South was motivated, in part, by a desire of the Deans to escape from hostile Indians who sometimes attacked white settlements in Maryland. On their slow, southward journey, the Deans were accompanied by members of the Cummings, James and Leonard families, into which some of them had married while living in Maryland.
Samuel and Gwenny Dean had ten offspring. The first six of their children were born in Maryland, the last four were born in South Carolina. Many of these offspring and their descendants made their home in the section of Anderson County that became known as Dean’s Station --- a community situated about two miles from the present day town of Starr. Some of the Deans reside in the same community today (i.e., in 2002). And Gus Dean’s old home is still standing there.
The maternal grandparents of Gus Dean were Major Lewis (1772-1837) and Elizabeth (Moorehead) Lewis (1780-1863). Major Lewis owned the water-powered facility at Rock Mills in Anderson District, and he was commissioner to survey the line to divide Pendleton District into Pickens and Anderson districts. He also represented Anderson District in the Twenty-Sixth (1824-1826) South Carolina General Assembly. The father of Elizabeth (Moorhead) Lewis settled in Pendleton District before 1800. His son Alexander Moorhead, who was Elizabeth Moorhead’s brother, was a member of the Public Buildings Commission that selected Anderson’s courthouse site.
Gus Dean was born January 14, 1840. His parents were Moses Dean (September 6, 1798 - March 12, 1878) and Narcissa (Lewis) Dean (May 30, 1803 - October 21, 1883). They were married September 13, 1822. Moses Dean became a very successful farmer at Dean’s Station, and all four of his sons answered the call for Confederate soldiers during the Civil War.
In addition to Gus Dean the following were also offspring of Moses and Narcissa Dean. (1) Elizabeth Lewis Dean (b. 15 Sept 1823) who, on November 14, 1840 first married Marcus Motes (d. 31 May 1843) and who, on October 16, 1844, married her second husband, Fleetwood Rice, and moved later to Texas; (2) Mary Hillis Dean (b. ca. 1825), who married her cousin Samuel Dean (b. ca. 1817) and moved later to Texas; (3) Mariah Louise Dean (b. 4 Aug 1828), who married John J Jones; (4) Major John T. Dean (b. 20 Mar 1831) who married Fannie Rice, served in the Confederate States Army and then moved to Texas; (5) Lucy Emily Dean (11 Dec 1833- 10 May 1892), who on April 15, 1852, married her cousin Samuel Augustus Dean (21 Dec 1821 - 14 Oct 1895) who served as a Sergeant in Company C, First S.C. State Troops during the Civil War; (6) Robert Baylis Dean (3 Feb 1837 - 12 Feb 1895) who married Sarah Amanda Burris (9 Feb 1840 - 24 Dec 1894) and served in the Civil War in Company C, Fourth South Carolina Volunteers, and in Company E, Thirteenth S.C. Battalion (Infantry); (7) Evaline N. Dean (b 13 Nov 1843) who married Frank Morrow; (8) Waddy Thomson Dean (18 Jun 1846 - 24 Nov 1910) who served as a seventeen-year-old scout in the Hampton Legion, C.S.A. and married Sallie West (b. 1850); and (9) Annie Eliza Dean (b. about 1849) who married Rufus R. Beaty.
On December 8, 1868, Augustus Aaron “Gus” Dean married Louisa Davis Allen (27 Mar 1849 - 23 Jun 1917), daughter of Charles Pinckney Allen and Sarah Ann (Clayton) Allen of Abbeville, South Carolina. Gus and Louisa Dean became the parents of the following children: (1) Charles Lewis Dean (6 Oct 1869 - 20 Apr 1926) who married Eloise M. Earle (b. 1875); (2) Lawrence Oscar “Ossie” Dean (6 Oct 1872 - 24 Aug 1928), who married Edna Driver, (3) Cora Clayton Dean (8 Oct 1876 -- 8 Jun 1970, who married her cousin A. Eugene Dean (4) Mary Love Dean (b. ca. 1880, d. ca. 1887; and (5) Ella A. Dean (b. 11 Sept. 1883), who married Frank Rhody.
Existing photographs of Gus Dean depict a small wiry man with an air of distinction. Indeed, Gus, bearing was very upright and correct. Even when this Confederate veteran was in his eighties, he had excellent posture, was also quite fit and enjoyed exceptionally good health. Many tales about Gus’ love of walking have been passed down by his descendants and in newspaper articles written about him. As an elderly man, Gus walked several times weekly from Dean’s Station to the city of Anderson --- a round trip of about twelve miles. And when Gus was in his nineties, one fall he picked more than 2,000 pounds of cotton.
After having served the Confederacy in the war and having participated in numerous battles and engagements. Gus Dean was paroled at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, shortly after April 9, 1865, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, to the Union Army of the Potomac. Speaking to his troops at the surrender, General Ulysses S. Grant, chief of the Union Army, said. “The war is over; the rebels are our countrymen again”. Then a tired and war-weary Gus Dean made his way back to Anderson District and his home near present day Starr. He became a successful farmer and was a lifelong resident of Anderson District and County. In 1876, he participated in the Red Shirt movement in support of the spirited gubernatorial campaign of General Wade Hampton (1818-1902), the former Confederate military leader, who became South Carolina’s first governor after reconstruction. According to family tradition Gus Dean always regarded his Confederate military service as a major, honorable and noble episode in his long life. And, until sometime in the first quarter of the twentieth century, Gus achieved both emotional satisfaction and physical comfort during cold winter days when he wore his Confederate Army greatcoat to Starr Baptist Church where he was a longtime member and deacon. At the age of ninety-five years, this Confederate veteran died January 24, 1935. Gus was laid to rest beside his wife’s grave at Starr Baptist in Anderson County.

The following was authored by Beverly Dean Peoples. In it you will find a wealth of information concerning the family of Lieutenant Dean.
Seventy-four years before the Civil War began, ancestors of Confederate Army soldier Lieutenant Augustus Aaron “Gus” Dean (1840-1935) settled in the old Pendleton District of South Carolina. In 1787, Samuel Dean (1751-1826) and Gwendolyn “Gwenny” James Dean (1754-1835), the paternal grandparents of Gus Dean, arrived in the foothills of Upstate South Carolina, having migrated from Washington County, Maryland. They established a sizable plantation on Mountain Creek in what is presently southern Anderson County. The move of these ancestors to the Deep South was motivated, in part, by a desire of the Deans to escape from hostile Indians who sometimes attacked white settlements in Maryland. On their slow, southward journey, the Deans were accompanied by members of the Cummings, James and Leonard families, into which some of them had married while living in Maryland.
Samuel and Gwenny Dean had ten offspring. The first six of their children were born in Maryland, the last four were born in South Carolina. Many of these offspring and their descendants made their home in the section of Anderson County that became known as Dean’s Station --- a community situated about two miles from the present day town of Starr. Some of the Deans reside in the same community today (i.e., in 2002). And Gus Dean’s old home is still standing there.
The maternal grandparents of Gus Dean were Major Lewis (1772-1837) and Elizabeth (Moorehead) Lewis (1780-1863). Major Lewis owned the water-powered facility at Rock Mills in Anderson District, and he was commissioner to survey the line to divide Pendleton District into Pickens and Anderson districts. He also represented Anderson District in the Twenty-Sixth (1824-1826) South Carolina General Assembly. The father of Elizabeth (Moorhead) Lewis settled in Pendleton District before 1800. His son Alexander Moorhead, who was Elizabeth Moorhead’s brother, was a member of the Public Buildings Commission that selected Anderson’s courthouse site.
Gus Dean was born January 14, 1840. His parents were Moses Dean (September 6, 1798 - March 12, 1878) and Narcissa (Lewis) Dean (May 30, 1803 - October 21, 1883). They were married September 13, 1822. Moses Dean became a very successful farmer at Dean’s Station, and all four of his sons answered the call for Confederate soldiers during the Civil War.
In addition to Gus Dean the following were also offspring of Moses and Narcissa Dean. (1) Elizabeth Lewis Dean (b. 15 Sept 1823) who, on November 14, 1840 first married Marcus Motes (d. 31 May 1843) and who, on October 16, 1844, married her second husband, Fleetwood Rice, and moved later to Texas; (2) Mary Hillis Dean (b. ca. 1825), who married her cousin Samuel Dean (b. ca. 1817) and moved later to Texas; (3) Mariah Louise Dean (b. 4 Aug 1828), who married John J Jones; (4) Major John T. Dean (b. 20 Mar 1831) who married Fannie Rice, served in the Confederate States Army and then moved to Texas; (5) Lucy Emily Dean (11 Dec 1833- 10 May 1892), who on April 15, 1852, married her cousin Samuel Augustus Dean (21 Dec 1821 - 14 Oct 1895) who served as a Sergeant in Company C, First S.C. State Troops during the Civil War; (6) Robert Baylis Dean (3 Feb 1837 - 12 Feb 1895) who married Sarah Amanda Burris (9 Feb 1840 - 24 Dec 1894) and served in the Civil War in Company C, Fourth South Carolina Volunteers, and in Company E, Thirteenth S.C. Battalion (Infantry); (7) Evaline N. Dean (b 13 Nov 1843) who married Frank Morrow; (8) Waddy Thomson Dean (18 Jun 1846 - 24 Nov 1910) who served as a seventeen-year-old scout in the Hampton Legion, C.S.A. and married Sallie West (b. 1850); and (9) Annie Eliza Dean (b. about 1849) who married Rufus R. Beaty.
On December 8, 1868, Augustus Aaron “Gus” Dean married Louisa Davis Allen (27 Mar 1849 - 23 Jun 1917), daughter of Charles Pinckney Allen and Sarah Ann (Clayton) Allen of Abbeville, South Carolina. Gus and Louisa Dean became the parents of the following children: (1) Charles Lewis Dean (6 Oct 1869 - 20 Apr 1926) who married Eloise M. Earle (b. 1875); (2) Lawrence Oscar “Ossie” Dean (6 Oct 1872 - 24 Aug 1928), who married Edna Driver, (3) Cora Clayton Dean (8 Oct 1876 -- 8 Jun 1970, who married her cousin A. Eugene Dean (4) Mary Love Dean (b. ca. 1880, d. ca. 1887; and (5) Ella A. Dean (b. 11 Sept. 1883), who married Frank Rhody.
Existing photographs of Gus Dean depict a small wiry man with an air of distinction. Indeed, Gus, bearing was very upright and correct. Even when this Confederate veteran was in his eighties, he had excellent posture, was also quite fit and enjoyed exceptionally good health. Many tales about Gus’ love of walking have been passed down by his descendants and in newspaper articles written about him. As an elderly man, Gus walked several times weekly from Dean’s Station to the city of Anderson --- a round trip of about twelve miles. And when Gus was in his nineties, one fall he picked more than 2,000 pounds of cotton.
After having served the Confederacy in the war and having participated in numerous battles and engagements. Gus Dean was paroled at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, shortly after April 9, 1865, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, to the Union Army of the Potomac. Speaking to his troops at the surrender, General Ulysses S. Grant, chief of the Union Army, said. “The war is over; the rebels are our countrymen again”. Then a tired and war-weary Gus Dean made his way back to Anderson District and his home near present day Starr. He became a successful farmer and was a lifelong resident of Anderson District and County. In 1876, he participated in the Red Shirt movement in support of the spirited gubernatorial campaign of General Wade Hampton (1818-1902), the former Confederate military leader, who became South Carolina’s first governor after reconstruction. According to family tradition Gus Dean always regarded his Confederate military service as a major, honorable and noble episode in his long life. And, until sometime in the first quarter of the twentieth century, Gus achieved both emotional satisfaction and physical comfort during cold winter days when he wore his Confederate Army greatcoat to Starr Baptist Church where he was a longtime member and deacon. At the age of ninety-five years, this Confederate veteran died January 24, 1935. Gus was laid to rest beside his wife’s grave at Starr Baptist in Anderson County.
