After "lurking" on this list for a few months, I thought I'd list my DEAN links with the hope that someone recognizes some of my names. My DEAN's are originally from Batley, Yorkshire, UK. William DEAN married Sarah SPEDDING January 22, 1838 in Batley, Yk. Their children were: Martha (born 1838) Hannah (born 1840) Mary (born 1842) married Joseph Swift. Elizabeth (born 1844) Sarah (born 1845) William (born 1847) Emma Hirst (born 1849) Susan (born 1852) Amelia (born 1954) Thomas James (born 1856) married Mary Rayner Mary and Thomas James both emmigrated to Phila., PA I'm trying to find out any additional info and what happened to the others in the family. Are there any connections? Barri
