Well, I have decided to address the DEAN family out there, and I know there are a lot of you As I read some of Vera DEAN's Letters and have discovered connections with FULTS CASEY MCPHERSON and I know that I have a CLARK and They have a CLARK( that bunch just mentioned!) ...ah well. It is about 1 a.m. and I am reading my grandmother's letter again and it says that my grandfather(, Son of Thomas E. CHAPMAN married #1 to Lousetta MAINER( I need help with her!) and #2 to Martha Jane FULTS )William Franklin "Frank" CHAPMAN( who was married #1 to Sarah Jane MCENTIRE of Marion Co. and #2 to Lydia Rebecca (aka LIDA LIDY CORA? and last Betty Lee) BALDWIN( my grandmother)...that "FRANK" CHAPMAN had 3 brothers and 3 sisters...i have found 4 sisters and three brothers all named CHAPMAN, and include Elizabeth CHAPMAN, Mandy J. CHAPMAN, Mary CHAPMAN Louisa(Louiza) Pearl CHAPMAN and Thomas Benton ( BEnjamin?) CHAPMAN, and Charles w.C. CHAPMAN ( any help with them would be appreciated, too!) Anyway, her later states that 2 of "Frank CHAPMAN's brothers were "DEANs"???? At first I thought it might be "indians' as she was a por speller and in her 70's when she wrote the letter, but the more I find in Newton Co. ARK, the more I think it was DEAN!. So I am hoping that someone can tell me if DEANs are related to CHAPMAN in the Newton Co. area??? i know of no other wife that Thomas Had than the two listed above. I know somewhat about the Fults family but nothing of the Mainer family... and the only other thing I could think is that maybe it was Thomas E. CHAPMAN's father Andrew Jackson CHAPMAN who married a DEAN if his wife Jane/Ja nett/JAnice MCGHEE/ MCGEE died after they came to Northern ARK. the last census I caught them on was 1870 in Carroll Co.
