Being from Sterlington, Ouachita Parish, La. which adjoins Union Parish I feel obliged to respond. All I can say is that Richard Dean is not listed in the First 110 Years of Houston, County, Ga., 1822-1932. The only Deans listed are Major, A. J., Elijah (Major), Frank, H. T., and James. Several Day listed which is a prominent name in Union Parish. If you need any information on the above let me know.

(This I'm sure about.) I have reason to believe he was from Houston Co. In 1832, a Richard Dean from Houston Co. took part in a land lottery in Union Co. in north GA. Between 1840 and 1850, the Richard Dean I know settled in Union Parish, LA. (I don't know if the irony of the two names being the same means anything or not.) He could have stopped for a while in AL before he came to LA. My Richard Dean died in 1896 and is buried at Crossroads in Union Parish, LA. > > The only Dean I've found so far in Houston Co. is James Dean who was involved in real estate transactions in 1825 and 1833. I really need to look at the census of 1820 and 1830 to see if Richard Dean was in James Dean's household; but I've been unable to find images of them. Perhaps you can steer me to some info that clears the mystery up.
