I'm researching William Bradford DEAN (b. 1-14-1820 Frankfurt, Waldo Co. ME) who went to Prince Edward Island, Canada, by 1850, and served as US Consul. He married a local girl, Mary Ann LORD (b. 11-22-1830, PEI), and raised a family there. He eventually returned to the U.S., lived in Massachusetts and finally the Los Angeles area of California. Their daughter Annie Lydia Dean is my great-grandmother. This DEAN line originated in Taunton/Dighton in Massachusetts, with Nathaniel Dean born 4-29-1754 and wife Elizabeth Cobb. I have not been able to discover the ancestors of Nathaniel Dean. I'd be interested in hearing from others working on this family. Andrea Crowell ACrowell@email.msn.com also: 75330.517@compuserve.com
