Can any one identify the parents of Horace R. Deane (DEEN) shown below? (Desperate 2nd attempt.) 2 - HORACE R., son of ?, b. 1802 (acc. to death record) or 1811 at VT; m. to Carrie Scribner (NH Vital Records) or to Clarissa Mason (Ellen's obit.). His parentage is at present unknown. A Horace C. Dean is shown in the 1850 Census for Winnhall, Bennington Co., VT, but because of his age cannot be #2's father. Horace reappears in Walpole in the 1840 Census and then in the 1860 Census in Charlestown, NH. Another man, a Horace Deen (alias Horace C. Dean) is listed in 1850 in Claremont, but he is older with a different wife and children. Ellen's father, Horace R. Deane died at Claremont on 10 DEC 1884 at age 82, a farmer, of prostration. The 1850 Census shows his wife as Clarissa, b. about 1811 in NH. In the original proprietor's records of Claremont, a reference is made to posting a notice for a meeting of the town proprietors. The records mention posting a copy of this notice at the tavern of Horace Dean, in Claremont, on 15 NOV 1845. The other Horace Dean had a prominent farm in town, so that it is possible that the tavern belonged to this Horace. Children Ellen , b. 1842 at Walpole, NH, Mason; m. John7 Eugene Lovejoy (#53) on 5 SEP 1857 at Claremont, NH; d. 30 SEP 1914 of cerebral hemorrhage at Claremont; buried at Pleasant Street Cemtery, Claremont with husband. John, b. 1849 at Walpole, NH. George, b. between 1849-50 at Charlestown, NH. Any assistance will be appreciated. Jerry Lovejoy bennabre@ici.net http://home.ici.net/~bennabre/bennabre.html net/~bennabre/bennabre.html
