Thanks! Might be a connection, but can't say for sure. My grandfather, Charles E. Dean, was born in 1876; so his father, Richard, which I'm almost sure is right, was probably born before 1856. The 11 Dean children you named were probably born between 1820 and 1851; so one of the early ones could have been Richard's father. I think Richard came from Alabama. If we could somehow connect one of Joseph's boys with Alabama, that would be good. Dean is a very common name. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Bennett" <riverbottom@blackfoot.net> To: <LAUNION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 10:27 PM Subject: [LAUNION] Re: [LA-UNION] New List Member > I have a Joseph or Josiah DEAN married to Sarah 'Sallie" TAYLOR daughter of > William Taylor and Catherine Gray. > > His bd I have as 1800 in NC and death 3 Oct 1851.
