The following was sent to me by Tom Sheffield, a cousin and desc. of William Dean and Nancy Bryant. Note he made a correction in the connection of one William Dean listed in the Estate of John Still, attaching him to Thomas Dean rather than William Dean Jr. Tom States: "Billy, in re-reading your notes, it occurred to me that the William Dean in this listing must be William Dean, the son of Thomas Dean and grandson of William Dean I, not my ancestor William Dean, son of William Dean I who died c. 1834." I have no death date for William the son of Thomas, but this is what I have on him.... subject to more research and additions and corrections by other Dean and/or Adams researchers: Descendants of William Dean 1 William DEAN b: 1813 d: in Texas . +Mary Ann ADAMS b: Abt. 1820 in Edgefield Co, SC d: Bef. 1850 in Edgefield Co, SC Father: Charles Adams Mother: Sarah Unknown Adams ..... 2 Susan DEAN b: Abt. 1832 ..... 2 Sabra Ann DEAN b: Abt. 1836 ..... 2 Sarah E.
