You are the third DEAN I've seen this week. I have a JOSEPH SMITH DEAN who married ELLEN ELISABETH OPITZ. Joseph's father was ABNER DEAN, JR. son of ABNER DEAN, son of ZACHARIAH DEAN. I just received this information this weekend. You should also write to lucyqp@earthlink.net (Lucy Peterson). She gave me the information of Joseph Smith Dean's father. Jane
