NOTE: If anyoneknows anything about the daughterIsabella Carrollo please contact me at [email protected] DEATH OF MAJOR LEWIS RICHARD REDMOND-A PatheticIncident that Spoke Volumes: Seneca SC 17 March 1906.The quiet almost obscure death of LewisR. Redmondwhich occurred near Seneca last week was a striking closeto a life that had for numyyears been given over to recklessoutlawry for at one time the nameof 'Redmondthe Outlaw" was a familiar one in SC. After his pardonhowever probably twenty-five years ago having beensentenced to life imprisonmentat AlbanyPenitentiary he settledinto a soberquiet life and hassince been a changedman. We rememberan incidentconnected with the manand his homelife, which was one of the most patheticwe ever witnessedconvincing us that therewas a big, warm,tender heart beneath the toughexterior of Redmond's character.Some years ago we wereat the Southerndepot here and Redmond was also there with his family,among themthe little unfortunatedeaf mute, a daughter.She was there to be takenby the motherto CedarSprings, our institutefor the deaf,dumb and blind. Although a child of probablyten yearsor older perhaps,the fatherheld her closelyernbraced in his armsand during the long wait for the train the tearsnever ceased in their flow down his ruggedcheeks, gently fondling her, constantly smoothing her hair or pettingher cheekor arranginghis hat,totally obliviousto the crowd of curiousfaces about him. At lastwhen the deeptones of the engineannounced the late train'sarrival, the distressand grief of the broken-heartedoutlaw was indescribableand we turned aside,leaving him with his griel but with a senseof appreciationof the toughdiamond that no othercircumstance could have induced. We knewthenceforth that LewisRedmond was not as "blackas he hadbeen painted."Keowee Courier Issue l8 April 1906.Submitted by: JudyBallard

He survived the war without a scratch and came back to his home in the fitarr community of Anderson District, 5-C-, where he lived a long and healthy life and wrote his recollections of military life during a tragic period of our nation's history. At the age of ninety-two, he picked 9225 pounds of cotton, according to a report published in an Anderson County newspaper in 1934- This Confederate veteran was among the last of the CfvII ln/ar soldiers of Anderson County. (CONTINUEDON NEXT PAGE) -2- INTRODVCTION By Beverly Dean Peoples Seventy-fouryears before the Civil War began,ancestors of ConfederateArmy soldier LieutenantAugustus Aaron "Gus" Dean (1840-1935)settled in the old PendletonDistrict of SouthCarolina. In 1787, SamuelDean ( 175I - 1826)and Gwendolyn "Gwenny" (James)Dean (1754-1835),the paternalgrandparents of Gus Dean,arrived in the foothills of UpstateSouth Carolina,having migrated fiom WashingtonCounty. Maryland They establisheda sizable plantationon MountainCreek in what is presentlysouthern Anderson County The move of these ancestorsto the Deep South was motivated,in part, by a desireof the Deansto escapefrom hostileIndians who sometimesattacked white settlementsin Maryland On their slow, southward journey,the Deanswere accompaniedby membersof the Cummings,James and Leonardfamilies, into whichsome of themhad married while livingin Maryland. Samueland GwennyDean had ten offspring The first six of their childrenwere born in Maryland;the last four were born in South Carolina Many of these offspring and their descendantsmade their homes in the sectionof AndersonCounty that becameknown as Dean's Station---acommunity situated about two milesfrom thepresent-day town of Starr Someof the Deansreside in the samecommunity today (i e, in 2000) And Gus Dean'sold homeis still standingthere. The maternalgrandparents of Gus Deanwere Major Lewis (1772-1837)and Elizabeth (Moorhead)Lewis (1780-1863).Major Lewisowned the water-poweredfacility at Rock Mills in AndersonDistrict, and he wascommissioner to surveythe lineto di.lde PendlctonDistrict into -fwcntr'-sixth Pendletonand Andersondistricts. He alsorepresented Pendleton District in the (1824-1826)South Carolina General Assembly The fatherof Elizabeth(Moorhead) Lewis settled in PendletonDistrict before 1800.His son Alexander Moorhead, who was ElizabethMoor- head'sbrother, was a memberof the Public BuildingsCommission that selectedAnderson's courthousesite. Gus Deanwas born January14, 1840.His parentswere Moses Dean (6 Sept 1798 12 Mar 1878)and Narcissa(Lewis) Dean (30 May 1803- 2l Oct 1883) They were married September13, 1822. MosesDean became a very successfulfarmer at Dean'sStation, and all four of his sonsanswered the call for Confederatesoldiers during the Civil War. In additionto Gus Dean,the followingwere alsooffspring of Mosesand NarcissaDean (l) ElizabethLewis Dean (b. l5 Sept1823), who, on November14, 1840,first married Marcus Motes(d. 3l May 1843)and who, on October16, 1844,married her second husband, Fleetwood Rice, and moved later to Texas;(2) Mary Hillis Dean (b. ca 1825),who marriedher cousin SamuelDean (b. ca 1817)and moved later to Texas;(3) Mariah LouiseDean (b 4 Aug 1828), who marriedJohn H.

Moreover, the numbers enclosed within parentheseswere added as referencesto footnotes at the bottoms of pages.) I was musteredinto the serviceof the ConfederateStates on January I 1, 1862, at Anderson,S. C Court Houseby Major (ThomasH.) Boggs(l). I was a memberof Company G, 2"d S. C Rifle Regiment(2). The companywas requiredto take an oath to servethe ConfederateStates honestly and faithfullyagainst all enenriesor opposerswhatsoever; I thought so often of the oath afterwardsand (about)how manyof the menlacked so muchof doing what theywere sworn to do The company left home a few days after being musteredinto service We went to Sullivan'sIsland (South Carolina) and remainedthere a few days. We thenwent to JohnsIsland (and)then to WadmalawIsland We thenwent back on the mainlandand remainedon the coast till the 26h of May (3) While on the coast,we did not do any fightingbut had to drill and stand guarda greatdeal and sometimes(to) go on picket(4) I recollectone night (that) Berry Harbin andI wereon picketon thebank of a river. We hadto go througha swampto get to the place Therewas anotherriver just to the left, so we were in the fork of the two rivers The swampwas all aroundus, and (therewas) no way to get out of therebut alonga path,and the Yankeeswere campednot far from us, on the otherside of ( I ) Major ThomasHamilton Boggs, who wassoon promoted to the rankof lieutenant colonel.was the secondofiicer in commandof the 2"dS C Rifleswhen it wasorganized. He wasa sonof ThomasGilliland Boggs (1795-1899) and Eleanor(Hamilton) Boggs (1795-1885) of PickensDistrict's Salubrity com- munity (now Liberty) While servingin the ConfederateArmy, he fell victim to typhoidfever and died July 6,1862, at homein South Carolina. He was buried at CarmelPresbyterian Church, situated in southernPickens County, South Carolina. (2) ln the springof 1862,the 2ndS. C. RifleRegiment was organizedby the addition of a numberof transfersand new army recruitsto the earlier organized5tt' S C InfantryBattalion, which has sometimes been incorrectlyidentified as the 1" S. C. RifleBattalion. At the time of its organization,the 2"dS. C. Riflesconsisted of sevencompanies. The regimentwas alsoknown asMoore's Regiment,Thompson's Regiment or Bowen'sRegiment, depending on who the unit's commanderwas at a giventime. (3) The regimentdeparted the coastof SouthCarolina after it receivedorders to proceedto fuchmond,because Virginia had become the focus of militaryoperations in the Civil War. (4) Military usageof the phrase"to go on picket" denotedgoing on guard duty at an outpost situatedsome distance from---and usually in front of--- a company,battalion, regiment, brigade, etc. Gus Deants RecoLlectlons '-r.- the river. We were put there directly after dark and had to staythere till midnight. One of us had to be awake all the time. Berry Harbin was so uneasythat he was miserablefor fear the Yankees would crossthe river and comebehind us and captureus. A porpoise,or large fish of somekind, camealong and madea noiselike someonehad hit the water with a plank. It scaredBerry almost to death,but I was asleepsome of the time. Yet, Berry was a good soldier;I recall so well how he actedin the SecondBattle of Manassas. While on the coastwe moved(our) campoften. Each companyhad a wagon (in which) to haul our tents and cooking utensils,besides a number of other wagons. But after going to Virginia it was very different,for we had no tents a greatdeal of the time, and we had to carry our cooking utensilswith us ourselvesor do without. We left the coastMay 26, 1862,and reached RichmondMay 30, about sundown(5). We stayedthat night at the edge of the city and, oh my, how it rainedthat night! It camedown in torrents,and as the men had no tentsthey had to stand and take it. James Jones and I got under an ambulance(wagon) and, though we did not keep dry, it was betterthan beingout in the rain. The next day, May 31, we were marchedtwo or threemiles in the directionof the Seven Pinesbut did not haveto go into the battle. We were nearenough to hearthe firing though, and I was aboutas close(to it) as I wishedto be. Therewas somefighting done Sundaymorning, the first of June. We were fresh troops and had not had any hard service.so we were kept either on picketor nearthe picketline nearlyall the time till the SevenDays' Battlesstarted June 25. It rained a good deal during June. Where the land was level. the water stood on the ground all the time in many placesand madeit very disagreeablefor us. Our companystayed at someold housesa good deal. Oneof themhad fallen down, but the boardswere still on it. Some of the others and I would crawl under it when it rainedto keep out of the rain, though we generallygot wet. Therewere sevenor eightdead horses within seventyor a hundredyards of where we stayed,that were killed in the Battle of SevenPines. We had to endurethe stenchwhile we were there. We used water out of a well that was right by the road and which had no cover over it. It was so full we could dip the water with a cup. When it rained,muddy water from the road ran into the well. A numberof horseswere killedin the Battleof SevenPines (6). That smelledbad nearus, but therewere fieldsbetween our campand the picketline whereclover was growing. The road got so bad that the men (avoided it and) marchedthrough the fields. Wagons, ambulancesand artillery (guns) also went through the fields. [t smelledworse to me than the deadhorses: it was one of the most sickeningsmells that I eversmell(ed). Though it was lessthan a monthfrom the (5) The 2"ds. c. Rifle Regimentarrived dt Richmond,virginia, during the night precedingthe Battle of SevenPines, but it did not participatein that engagement. (6) The Battle of SevenPines/Fair oaks was fought in virginia on May 3 I and June l, 1862at the intersectionof the WilliamsburgRoad and Nirre Mile Road and Fair Oaks Station,situated about eight miles eastof fuchmond. There,General D. H. Hill's divisionof Confederates attackedColonel Erasmus Keyes" corpsof Union troops. Fast-moving Confederatesregiments overran four Union linesand repulseda fifth line in the courseof the battle. ConfederateGeneral Joseph E. Johnston(1807-1891), a Virginia-borngraduate of the U. S. Military Academy,was seriouslywounded on the first day of the battle. But the fight temporarilyput Union troops on the defensive. Gus Deanrs Recol1ectlons - 6 - time our regiment went to Richmond till the SevenDays fight commenced,two-thirds of our companywas sick by that time and a numberhad died. The SevenDays' Battles commencedon Wednesday,June 26, 1862 (7) There was not much fighting done that day; more fighting (was) done the next day. A brigadethat we belonged to until a few daysbefore the fighting beganwas in the fight on Thursdayand was pretty badly cut up (8) A good many of men (of the brigade)were killed and wounded. The three principal battleswere Gaines Mill, on Friday,June 276; Frasier's Farm on the 30s; andMalvern Hill on July L On Thursdayevening about dark we crossedthe Chickahominyfuver and campednot far from where we crossed. The next morning, Friday 276,we startedearly and went down on the east side of the river. We passedthrough a numberof campswhere the Yankeeshad been but had left, though a few tents were about all they had left. About ten or eleveno'clock we were halted and stackedarms in a field. We were orderednot to leaveour guns,though it was very warm There was a pieceof woods not more than fifty yardsin front of us where the treeswere large,and (with) no undergrowth. The shadecertainly looked tempting, but we were not allowed to go near it, (even)though there were no Yankeesabout. After remainingthere for an hour and a half or two hours, we were orderedto fall in and take arms,march out into the road and turn down toward the (Gaines')Mill. After going a short distance,Col. (John V.) Moore (9) gave the command,"HALT, FRONT LOAD, LOAD AT WILL." What a feelingthat producedin me. I knew it meantgoing into battle,or expectingto, and(that) I mightbe a corpsebefore night We marchedon down to the mill and turneddown the brancha shortdistance, then (we) went up the hill in the directionof the enemy. We were orderedto lie down The firing commencedin front of us. It was aboutthe heaviestinfantry firing that I ever heardin my life (10) Therewere a greatmany cannon(s) firing too, andthe minieballs passed over our headsby the hundreds. It seemedto me that a great many of them just passedover the hill and then (7) Havingtaken place between June 26 andJury l, 1g62,the SevenDays' Battleswere part of the peninsularcampaign in virginia in which Union troops,led by Major GeneralGeorge B Mcclelland(1g26- 1885),threatened Richmond, the Confederatecapital In the battles. GeneralRobert E. Lee (1807-1870),chief of Confederatearmies. made an all-out effort to win the war by attackingUnion troops at Mechan- icsville,Gaines' Mill, SavageStation, Frayser's Farm and Malvern Hill. Thesebattles succeeded in turningback the Union drivefor Richmondand shiftedthe focus of the war from the doorstepsof the Confederatecapitalto areas north of the potomacfuver. (8) That brigadewas RobertHeron Anderson's of Longstreet'sDivision, Army of Northern Virginia. (9) colonelJohn v. Moore was the first commandingofficer of the 2"ds. c. Rifle Regiment.He was latermortally wounded (on August30, lg62) at the SecondBattle of Bull Run (SecondManassas) and was replaced by Lt. Cot. ThomasThompson as regimentalcommander. Field officersof the regiment were:Lt col. ThomasHamilton Boggs, Lt. col. RobertE. Bowen,Major DanielL. cox, Major Stilesp. Dendy,Lt. col. David L. Donald,Major Robert A. Thompsonand Col. ThomasThomson. (10) The Battleof Gaines'Mill was oneof the bloodiestengagements of the Seven Days' Battles. GeneralRobert E. Lee mounteda coordinatedConfeder- ate attackby sending56,000 of his troops againsta Union force of about Gus Deents Recoll_ectlons returnedright towards my head. I was almoststicking my nosein the ground; I was so afraidthat one of them would hit me. We lay there for sometime while the battlewas raging in front of us. While there,an ofiicer rode up in front of our regimentand orderedus forward. A good many of the men jumped right up, but Col. Moore orderedus to lie down, and the offtcer orderedus forward again. Many of us got up the secondtime. Col. Moore orderedus to lie down, and said he was the officer to get orders from. After that we paid but little attentionto that fellow. He may havebeen sent back to bring up reinforcements,but I think he was drinking and was trying to lead us into the battle and distinguishhimself. He shouldhave beenwith his own command. Soonafterwards, Col. Moore orderedus forward. I thoughtas soonas we get to the top of the hill, fifty or seventy-fiveyards distant,that we would seethe whole face of the earthcovered with deadmen (as) the fighting had beenso tremendous.We could not seea singleone till we had gonenearly half a mile;the fightingwas so muchfurther (away) than I hadthought It was while we were movingforward that the shellsfrom the enemy'sguns were flying andbursting around us, which madeit extremelyunpleasant for us One shellpassed very nearus, and J. L. Humphreys jumpedbehind a bunchof sproutsnot muchmore than kneehigh and not largerthan my finger. This remindedme of the old sayingthat a drowningman will catchat a straw,and a manin battlewilljump behindone when a shellcomes near him. The Yankeeshad their line formed along a branchwhere the firing was so heavy in front of us. The front line was closeto the branch,and just behindit was anotherline As the hill was steep,the rear line could fire over the headsof the front line. A little higherup the hill they had their cannons,which could fire over the headsof both. while our men had to advanceacross an openfield for a long ways. I saw a few of our mendead there. The Yankeeshad left beforewe got there,and our men had followedthem. We were halted,when we got to wherethe cannons were, to get the men in good line. There were two horsesto a gun that I passed,and one was down. I think it was dead,the other (horse)was woundedin severalplaces. It had turnedwith its headtowards the gun andwas standingthere, squealing. He wasbadly hurt andso excitedthat he did not know what he was doing. We only stoppeda minute but while (we were) there anotherline of our men'who were comingbehind us fired into us. The firing was still going in front of us, and thosemen behind(were) shoutingat us. Someman fifty or sixty yardsfrom me hollered,"Cease that firing, g-- d--- you; you're shootingyour own men." Thoughthere was so muchshouting all aroundus, I couldhear him asif everythinghad been perfectly quiet. I thought, "What in the nameof commonsense does the manmean by usingsuch oaths in the battle?" But beforethe war was over, I heardit so often it did not surpriseme at all. TO BE CONTINUED equalsize. Never beforehad so marrySouthern troops beenconcentrated on a singlebattlefield. About 8,800Confederates were killed in the battle, approximately6,800 Union troops also lost their lives. But severalConfed- erateregiments achieved breakthroughs in the fight, collapsingthe Fed- eral lines. The Battle of Gaines'Mill representedthe first victory of the Civil War for GeneralLee as chief of the ConfederateArmy. It also resulted in the captureof morethan 2,000 Union soldiersand the seizureof twenty-two enemycannons. o. wl a o fs{| GeneralMicah Jenkins (183s-1864) ConfederateStates ArmY -9- III. GeneralMicah Jenkins: Throughout most of the Civil War, the SecondSouth Carolina Regiment of Rifles was assigned to Jenkins' Brigade, which was commanded by Micah Jenkins, an outstanding and fearlessConfederate military leader. Born December 1, 1835, on Edisto Island, S. C., Micah was a son of John Jenkinsand EtizabethGrimball (Clark) Jenkins. In 1851,the young Jenkins enteredthe South Carolina Military Academy, from which he was later graduated at the age of nineteen. In 1855,he and Asbura Coward, a closefriend, founded King's Mountain Military School at Yorkville, S. C. Then, on July 2, 1E56, Jenkins married Caroline Harper Jamison,daughter of David Flavel Jamison, who served as presidentof the S. C. SecessionConvention. Shortly after the Civil War began, Jenkins was elected colonel of the sth S. C. Volunteers. One year later, he organized the Palmetto Sharpshootersand was made commanderof that regiment. Among the early battlesin which Jenkins took an active part were Williamsburg, SevenPines, Gaines' Mill and Frayser'sFarm. On July 22,1862,when he was twenty-six years of age, Jenkins was promoted to brigadier general upon a recommendationof General Robert E. Lee, along with those of other high-ranking ConfederateStates Army officers. After his promotion, this very capableand young general,who was highly respected and admired by his soldiers, participated in the following battles: Second Manassas, Fredericksburg,Lookout Valley and The Wilderness. He was seriouslywounded at Second Manassasand returned to his home to recuperate. But by September1863, Jenkins had returned to duty and was appointedacting commanderof Hood's division,when General John Bell Hood was seriouslywounded and lost a leg at the Battle of Chickamauga. In the campaign against Knoxville, Tennessee,Jenkins also accompanied Lieutenant General James Longstreet,his immediatesuperior officer and closefriend. After Jenkins' return to the battlefields of Virginia, the general rejoined his old brigade and took part in the Wilderness Campaign in the wild and almost impenetrable region situated west of Fredericksburg. It was in the confusing struggle at the Battle of the Wilderness that Jenkins was wounded and died on May 6, 1864,as a result of the mistaken "friendly" fire of Virginia troops. General Longstreet was also severelywounded in the same incident. Jenkins, the fallen warrior, was removed from the battlefieldand returned to South Carolina where he was buried in Summerville (DorchesterCounty). His wife and the following four young sons sulryived: Micah John Jenkins, Robert Flavel Jenkins, William Edward Jenkins and John Murray Jenkins. A fifth son,Whitemarsh LaRocheJenkins, died as a baby in 1863.
