Hi, John-- I'm interested in DEANs in Taunton, too. I've never been able to discover the parents of my Nathaniel Dean, born 4-29-1754, died 12-19-1822 in Taunton. He married Elizabeth COBB and raised several children in the area. I don't suppose you know the names of your Luther's siblings? I think these might be the children of your Luther and wife Margaret Strawbridge, from the Taunton VRs, Births: "David, ch. Luther and Peggy, June 25, 1787" (p. 124) "Luther, ch. Luther and Peggy, July 25, 1789 [h. Fanny (Dean), G.R.4]" (p. 129) "Abijah, ch. Luther and Peggy, Nov. 11, 1790" (p. 121) "James, ch. Luther and Peggy, Jan. 16, 1792" (p. 128) "Sophia, ch. Luther and Peggy, Spet. 14, 1793" (p. 133) "Noah, ch. Luther and Peggy, Mar. 18, 1795" (p. 131) "Andrew, ch. Luther and Peggy, Sept. 10, 1796" (p. 122) "Calvin, ch. Luther and Peggy, Mar. 31, 1798" (p. 123) "Fanny, ch. Philip and Abigail, Dec. 10, 1795. [w. Luther Dean, G.R.4]" (p. 126) Further, in Taunton VRs, Marriages (p. 146): "Luther and Fanny Dean, both of T., Nov. 27, 1817, in T." In Taunton VRs, Deaths (p. 68): "Luther, Aug. 8, 1833, a. 44 [h. Fanny (Dean), Aug. 5, G.R.4.] "Mary, d. Luther and Fanny, June 9, 1824, a. 18d., G.R.4" "Mary G., d. Luther and Fanny, Feb. 16, 1827, a. 7 m., G.R.4" Hope this helps-- Andrea Crowell ACrowell@email.msn.com -----Original Message----- From: Scott John <JSCOTT@HanoverDirect.com> To: DEAN-L@rootsweb.com <DEAN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, July 15, 1999 8:33 AM Subject: Luther Dean and Margaret Strawbridge >Seek the children of Luther Dean and Margaret Strawbridge of >Taunton and Foxboro,Mass.
