I rec'd a note asking if I knew anything about Mary Bowers. The individual is working on the surname Deans (another one of mine too) but would like to know about the spouse. Right now, I don't know of a connection to my group but wonder if anyone out there might recognize any names and might help us. These families later lived in Nash Co. and then Wayne Co. area, NC Daniel Deans married Mary Bowers abt. 1762 in Hertford Co., NC. Children: Dempsey b. 1763 James b. 1765 Daniel b. 1767 Bartlett b. 1769 George b. 1770 John b. 1771 Sarah b. 1773 Elizabeth, b. 1775 Tarlisha b. 1777 Lydia b. 1779.
