Brenda, You wrote: "Looking for information on Richard DEAN, b. 1 April, 1759, Dobbs County, (now Lenoir Co.) North Carolina. Richard DEAN was a Revolutionary War veteran and was at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, NC, and is listed on a page from the Roster of the Patriots at Moore's Creek Bridge, along with two other DEAN soldiers, Philip DEAN and Robert DEAN, both from Dobbs County, NC, also." Do you know anything about this Richard other than the listing on the Roster of Patriots at Moore's Creek Bridge? I have a Richard Dean who showed up in Laurens Co. GA sometime before 1784. According to family tradition he was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, but so far we have not identified him. Our line bought and sold land in GA before eventually moving to Dale Co. AL. Any connections? Margaret Lindsey Smith, mlsmith67@earthlink.net
