This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Zc.2ADI/77.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I am also related to Micjah Dean and Rhoda Hinson, thru Mary Ann Dean. I believe Thaddeus Dean, also found in the Live Oak, Fla. (close to the area and at the time Mary Ann and Wm Henry Rousseau were there). I believe he is possibly a brother to Mary Ann. Will have to take a closer look later. I have found the Dean line in the north, believe they came to VA; then NC, Sc, then went west and south. But have no line on a Richard or his family. Undoftunately, the Florida/Ga. area was considered "Territorial" and not a state. Have been searching the "Territorial Papers". Very difficult to do from a distance. So far nothing. Thank you for your reply. Will keep in touch. Elizabeth
