Dear List... My cousins and I have two burning questions to ask. We are stuck on two items. Does anyone on the group have any inkling regarding these matters? Item #1: Who is father of Jacob Deen, Jr. that mar Martha Ann Johnson? One researcher says that he is son of Jacob Clay Deen and Sarah Lane. Other researchers were adamant that the Jacob Deen, Jr. that mar Martha Ann Johnson was the son of William Deen (bro of Jacob Clay Deen), Page 63 of Harrelson's Hamilton County Marriages shows Jacob Dean and Sarah Lane had a double marriage with Lewis Lane and Nancy Deen. Bro & sister, mar sister and bro on 17 April 1824. Jacob Deen, Jr. was b 15 Sep 1823. He would have been the oldest child of Jacob Clay and born 7 months before they mar. Item #2 William Deen 1st mar Jane Coffee b 29 Dec 1804 d 1837. He then mar Barsheba Jane Durham. The children of William are spread between 1820 and 1841. Jane would have been alive when the first 8 children (including Jacob Deen, Jr.) were born. What we don't know - was she mar to William and 8 of the 10 kids belonged to her. Or do most or all of the kids belong to Barsheba Jane Durham? Thanks so much for any input anyone has and any sources to clarify this information. People seem to have history by word of mouth but in need of proofing! Denee Lougeay San Diego CA
