It's so nice to find them under an alternate spelling!!!!!!!!!!! I'll take any information you can come up with. When I started the search for Sarah Dean, I was taking on more of a job than I expected. If you have helped or tried to help somebody find ancestors, you know how frustrating rattling bones can be. Actually, there are several facts known about Sarah. Her great-great-granddaughter is trying to find out more about Sarah's first husband (unknown Stewart), where they lived until his death (sometime between 1857-1860), and where their son James was after the 1870 Census. She married her second husband Lewis Beckwith, circa 1860, and had a second son in 1861. The granddaughter wonders where Sarah and her second husband met. You can see how complicated/confusing this search is--especially when PA, OH, and VA (now WV) are part of the mix. ! I doubt very much if anyone will be able to solve these family mysteries unless there is information at the county court houses that hasn't been put on line yet. And, of course, there is the usual duplication of names to make it even harder to determine who is who. Send me what you have. I will appreciate it very much.
