Hello Richard, Im one of the many who are interested in the Dean family of Rockingham County. Many of the Elkton and Rockingham County Dean's can trace their family line back to James T. Dean and one of his two wives, Susanna Harness or Sarah Monger. I happen to have both of his wives in my lines. Russell Kyger Joseph Kyger Lucy Dean Nicholas Dean Morgan Dean James Dean + Sarah Monger and my other line goes back on my mothers side the James First wife Russell Kyger Beatrice Shifflett Irving Shifflett Hosea Shifflett Caroline Shifflett Lucinda Dean James Dean + Susanna Harness The Dean line also shows up in many times in the descendants of Christian Geiger a early ancestor who came to Rockingham County back in the 1700's. My Cousin, Maggie Kyger Miller and I have website's with over 16,000 Kyger related family members of Christian Geiger that you might want to visit. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ridge/3251/">Kyger Geoscities Homepage</A> Russ
