Who did he marry in 1832?? Wm S. Grimes of Washington Co., Al had written in a letter dated 9/4/1840, do not have a John Dean in that family line he mentions "Mr Dean became a family member in 1832 ." He also writes that Mr. Dean has been in Yazoo Co., Ms. for several years. "I have been acquainted with Mr. DEAN since March 1832. By chance Mr. D. made himself a member of my family that year and since then has lived in Mississippi where he has been doing an extensive mercantile business. Has also had an establishment at Pensicola & has passed from one place to the other & occasionally called to see us." I am not on the Mailing list so if anyone has any info on this John Dean and who he married please e-mail me also Thank you Christine [email protected]
