Does anyone on the list have any information about WALKER DEAN, born 1824 somewhere in Ohio, died 1897 9n Newville, DeKalb County, Indiana. He married Rebecka Thornsburg in Ohio possibly in 1844. Their daughter Mary Melissa was born in Ohio on 8-10-1857. She married Joel Braumiller and lived in the Dayton area in Ohio. Following his early death she moved to Newville, possibly because her parents had moved there, and later married John Whitehurst. I recently located Walker's grave in the Newville cemetery next to those of Melissa and other members of her family. The stone is practically illegible, but I was able to read the dates. On the side of the stone is an unreadable name of a son of Walker. DeKalb Count has a death record for a DEEN (no first name given) who died 3/6/1897 in Newville. It gives his age as 91, which would be incorrect if it is Walker. It does give the place of birth as Ohio and his father as Walter Deen, born in Germany. Does any of this sound familiar to any on the Dean list? I've had a hard time trying to find any information. Pat Kelly
