From Kevin Ostrye, kevinost@yahoo.com, 7 June 2006:
      SAMUEL L. DEAN received a 40 acre land grant on 2 December 1853, S27-T22-R21E, west of Highway 63 and south of his father's land. On 1 January 1854, he received 40 acres, S22-T221E. He enlisted in the Confederate Army on 9 April 1862 at Lochapolka [Alabama]. He served with Company C of the 47th Alabama Infantry Regiment, under Captain J.T. Russel. By August of that year they joined Stonewall Jackson's Brigade in Northern Virginia. On August 31 his military records list him as hospitalized at Winchester, VA. Eight months later, April 1863, he was hospitalized at Danville, VA, which may have lasted through July. Later that year he was allowed home to recuperate from "Ascites." By October he returned to his unit and on 10 February 1864 he was captured at Morristown, TN. The war ended in April, and after taking an allegiance to the union, he was allowed to return home. Family folklore has it, either during the furlough or after the war, when he returned home he found his wife with another man. He left never to return, first traveling to Kentucky, then Arkansas. While travelling down the Mississippi river it is believed he married a second wife.
