I believe his brother was William Deanes who was the Sheriff of Union Parish Louisiana. William was in charge of a group of slaves building fortifications in Harrisonburg, Fort Beauregard. He died during that assignment but the circumstances of his death are unknown. The family spelled their name Deanes but the children changed it to Dean.
