PREFACE

Our ancestors took a very active part in the develop¬ ment of our country from colonial times onward. They were a hardy, lusty stock of pioneers who faced and overcame the dangers and hardships inherent in carving out new frontiers. In the great migrations which surged westward after the Revolutionary War, they were in the vanguard. They were very patriotic and loyal as shown by the numbers who have fought in all our wars.

Most of our ancestors came through and from Virginia to the Carolinas, Tennessee and Georgia in the late 1700's and early 1800's. By 1850, they had started migrating further West and Southwest and, by 1900, had settled in most Western and Southwestern states.

Until the late 1800's, they were primarily farmers. Then, with improved schooling, they began entering the professional and business fields. Today, our families are well represented in all fields of endeavor.

We regret that due to scarcity of available records, lack of time and ready cash for further research, gaps were left in a few ancestral lines. The connections can be seen, but not documented . . . particularly the parentage of Thomas Dean, Jr. and Parrizeda (Van Zandt) Brown.

To all the cousins throughout the good old U.S.A. we extend our most cordial greetings.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME AND FAMILY OF DEAN

(From "Brief Memoirs of John W. and Walter Dean")

The name Den or Dene, the ancient way of spelling what is now written Deane, Dean and Deen, first appeared in England soon after the introduction of surnames ... it was apparently derived from the Saxon word "den" or "dene" ... a valley. The name was per¬ haps first given to estates situated in or contiguous to a dene, and from the estate the name would easily pass to the possessor.

The name Dene is found in Hampshire in 1194. Ralph de la Dene was mentioned in a law suit respecting two tracts of land in East Dene, a village of Hampshire. John de Dene was sheriff in Staffordshire 1306-07, Sir William of Dene was in 1415 owner of "Throwley" in Kent.

The Norman prefix "de" vanished during the reign of Henry VIII and during the reign of Elizabeth the "a" was added and the name became Deane.

The first arrival of Deans in the Colonies were Stephen and Rachael Dean (a widow) who arrived on the next vessel after the Mayflower, the Fortune, in November 1621. Then came the well-known John and Walter Deane who settled in Taunton, Massachusetts.

Other Deans arrived in Virginia in 1655, settling in Dochester and Accomeck Counties, Virginia. Among them were the names of John, William, Thomas, James and Henry. One hundred years later, Deans of these names were living in other sections of Virginia as well as in North and South Carolina. Then, to complicate matters, some of the Deans migrated to these states from the New England States.

The first record we have of a Dean in North Carolina is in the North Carolina Archives, File #CCR-192, "John Dawn to marry Jane Deane, a widow of William Deane, late of New England." A son, William, was also mentioned . . . dated 1686.

This William is very likely the progenitor of many of the 58 Dean families listed in the North and South Carolina 1790 census. How¬ ever, it is known that many also came from Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Several Deans arrived in Pennsylvania on Quaker Credentials from Ireland in the mid 1700's.

As our ancestors, Thomas Jr., and Eli Dean, brothers, migrated, according to family tradition, to Union County, Georgia from near Greenville, South Carolina, the research was concentrated in Green¬ ville and adjacent counties. According to the census records

Page 17: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,

of Union County, Georgia, Thomas, Jr. and Eli were born in South Carolina in 1808 and 1813 respectively.

The research became complicated and frustrating due to the number of Dean families and the duplication of given names (English and Biblical type) in that particular area. Also, the fact that the census records, 1790 through 1840, listed only head of family by name. All others were listed by number under this particular age bracket.

Following are heads of Dean families on the 1790 census of South Carolina. (Names were variously spelled . . . Dean, Deen, Deane, Deean, Deeane):

Edgefield District:

Beaufort District:

Laurens County:

Pendleton District:

George, Julius, Richard, Thomas William, Joshua.

Jesse.

Elisha, John, Joseph, Susannah, Thomas.

Note: These families may have come from Hampshire County, Virginia, as there was a Susannah Dean with ten in the family and Thomas with twelve on the Hampshire County, Virginia tax list in 1782. They were not on the 1800 census of Hampshire County, Virginia.

Samuel Deen. Served in the Revolutionary War from Pennsylvania and later migrated to South Carolina.

Spartanburgh County: Joel Dean. Served in the Revolutionary War from North Carolina, later moving to South Carolina.

Heads of Dean families on the 1800 census of South Carolina were:

Edgefield District:

Laurens County:

Pendleton District:

Spartanburgh County:

Abbeville County:

Greenville County:

John, James, William, Samuel, Thomas.

Susannah, Thomas, John, Josiah.

Samuel.

Joel, Thomas, John (Joel's oldest son).

Elisha, James.

Elisha Deean, eight in family; Thomas Deeane, seven, and Charles Deen, eight.

Heads of Dean families on 1810 census in South Carolina were:

Edgefield County: John, five in family, no sons. Thomas, three, no sons. Tabitha, four, one son John #2, three - no sons. Charles, no children. Thomas #2, nine - five sons.

Page 19: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,

Laurens County: Josiah, two - one son. Job, ten - three sons. Job #2, seven - one son. Isham, three - one son. William, four - one son. Joseph, nine - one son. Susannah Ward, thought to be the former Susannah Dean, eight in family, all adults . . . three over 45.

Pendleton District:

Spartanburgh County:

Greenville County:

Samuel, seven, Thomas, single, (oldest son of Samuel). Elisha, sixteen. This is, without doubt, the same Elisha who was in Greenville County just across the Saluda River, in 1800, with six children. The additional eight, four boys and four girls were all under ten years. The two older girls, listed as 16 - 26, were 10 - 16 in 1800. Job, nine in family, was living next door to Elisha.

Joel, eleven. John, nine.

Charles, sixteen. Thomas, fourteen. One adult male had joined this family since 1800, also one male and five females under 10.

As Thomas, Jr. and Eli Dean, born 1808 and 1813 respectively, in South Carolina, were supposedly reared near Greenville, South Carolina, the research was perforce narrowed to Greenville County and across the Saluda River just a few miles away in Pendleton District, now Pickens County. (Pendleton District was divided in 1826 into two counties, Anderson and Pickens). Vital statistics being virtually non-existent and nothing pertinent found in wills and other public records, the U. S. census records were heavily relied on.

Parentage of Thomas, Jr. and Eli Dean

As there are two versions of the parentage of Thomas, Jr. and Eli Dean, both are herein presented.

Copy of part of letter to Mrs. Pearl (Dean) Dauley from Solomon Dean, son of Thomas, Jr. and third wife, Mary Jane (Foster) Dean follows:

Isabella, Tennessee August 2, 1935

Dear Mrs. Dauley:

Don't know if I can tell you very much about the Deans. My grandfather, Thomas Dean, came to this country sometime before the Revolutionary War and settled in South Carolina, where three sons were born, John, Eli and Thomas, Jr. (1799).

John and Eli left there when young men. John going out West and Eli coming here to Union County, Georgia. Did never see Uncle John but remember Uncle Eli very well.

Thomas, Jr., my father, married Nancy Hood. To them were born ten children, William, Jesse, Samuel, Jencie (Dockery), Linda (Allen), Juda (Roberts), James, Thompson, Elisha and John.

Signed: Solomon Dean

The above statement of Thomas and Eli's parentage was also made by Solomon's older brother, Alfred, to his daughter, Jessie P. Dean of El Paso, Texas.

Extract copy of statement contained in a History of the Dean Family by Jesse Windom Dean, of Richmond, Virginia, son of Solomon and Samantha (Newton) Dean. (Written after Solomon's death):

Page 23: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,

(as told to me by my mother)

John Dean was my great grandfather. He came to this country during the 1700's from someplace in England, with a brother, James Dean. They settled in South Carolina, near Greenville. John married Caroline Dudley. To them were born three children (to our knowledge . . . Thomas Dean, 1799 (my grandfather), Jesse Elias Dean and Betty Dean (she was never married). Thomas, Jesse Elias and Betty moved to Union County, Georgia about 1825, in the Iva Log Community. Thomas married Nancy Ann Hood about the year 1820, before moving to Georgia. To this marriage was born the following children: William, Jesse, Linda, John Martin, Jencie, James, Judy, Samuel H., Thomas, Jr., Elisha Anderson and Thompson.

*44*4444

Signed: Jesse W. Dean

Data was found in Greenville County, and Pendleton District, later

Pickens County, to partially support both versions. The data

which partially supports the "John and Caroline (Dudley) Dean

Version":

According to the 1880 census. Union County, Georgia, Thomas and

Eli Dean's parents were born in North Carolina. On the 1790 census

of Pendleton District, Ambrose Dudley was listed in the area,

later changed to Pickens County, where Elisha Dean settled before

1810. Ambrose Dudley's family consisted of two males plus sixteen,

one male minus sixteen and one female. He was again listed on the

1800 census, same place, with one female 16 - 26, two females

under 10 and four males under 10. Ambrose Dudley was born in

Onslow Co., North Carolina in 1760. Next door William Dudley

16 - 26 was listed with one male 10 - 16, one female 10 - 16 and

one female 16 - 26.

Through the Revolutionary War pension application of Ambrose Dudley,

the Dudley families were traced to Nash County, North Carolina,

where in 1790 a John Dudley, single, and Elizabeth Dudley with two

minor children were living. Several Dean families (spelled

"Deens") also were listed. Named were Henry, Richard, Willis,

Mary and Thomas. Also in Hertford County, North Carolina, David,

Thomas, William, and James Dean were on the 1790 census, as were

two Dudley families. In Rockingham County were Charles, Elisha

and James Dean, and one Dudley family. However, these Dean fami¬

lies in North Carolina could not be documented to the Dudleys nor

to the Dean's in South Carolina.

Page 25: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,

According to the book "Tennessee Cousins", the above Ambrose Dudley was a descendant of the ancient Dudley families of Virginia and North Carolina who have been traced back to Sir Edmund Dudley who was beheaded in England in 1509, and whose grandson, Guilford Dudley, married Lady Jane Grey who became Queen of England for eleven days . . then both were beheaded in 1554.

A document in possession of a member of the Dean family, pur¬ porting to be the report of a professional genealogist and unsigned, appeared to be deliberate misinformation. Among other things, this document stated:

"In 179 3, James and John Dean were granted 450 acres of bounty land in Pickens County, South Carolina. The U. S. Census of 1790 lists John Dean as the head of the family of John and Caroline Dudley Dean3 James Dean, unmarried and over the age of 30 years, in Pickens County, South Carolina. The Census of 1810 also lists John Dean as the head of the family of John and Caroline Dudley Dean, three minor children, Elizabeth Ann, Jesse Elias and Thomas, Pickens County, South Carolina. "

The above statements were all obviously untrue for the following reasons:

(1) Pickens County was not formed until 1826.

(2) The census of 1790 through 1840 listed only heads of households by name. Others were only numbers.

(3) The National Archives has no record of James and John Dean obtaining a bounty land grant in South Carolina.

(4) The only John Dean listed on the 1790 census of western South Carolina was in Laurens County, with one minor son and a wife.

(5) Three John Dean's were listed on the 1810 census of South Carolina; one in Spartanburg County with seven children and two in Edgefield County, neither with any sons. The John Dean in Spartanburg County has been identified and eliminated.

Obviously, the above report was only an effort to make a fast buck by telling the inquirer what he wanted to hear.

The version of Thomas Dean, Sr., as parent of our Thomas, Jr., is more logical.

Page 27: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,

Thomas, Sr. and Elisha Dean, thought to be brothers, first appeared in Greenville County on the 1800 census. Elisha Dean, whose age listed on the 1830-40 census indicated he was born 1760-1770. His one notable achievement was his prolific produc¬ tion of children. On the 1800 census, he had six children, fourteen in 1810 and six more added by 1820. Production stopped there with a total of twenty children. No record was found of Elisha ever buying or selling land or receiving a land grant. He moved to Pendleton District, later Pickens County, and was on the 1810 through 1840 census there. (No other record was found of him).

Elisha Dean evidently had a large part in our Thomas, Jr.'s life as he was a close neighbor of Enoch Hood, whose daughter, Nancy, married Thomas, Jr. They were neighbors from 1810 until Enoch and Thomas, Jr. migrated to Georgia in 1837-38. Elisha evidently died between 1840-1850. He was 70-80 years old in 1840. James M. and Baylis Dean, on the 1840 census of Pickens County, are thought to be sons of Elisha.

Thomas Dean, hereafter known as Thomas, Sr., first appeared in Greenville County, South Carolina, in 1798 where he bought 210 acres of land on Reedy Fork Creek. He again bought 70 acres on Reedy River in 1807.

Thomas, Sr., whose age listed on the 1830-40 census, indicated he was born about 1770. He was on the 1800 census of Greenville County with two boys and three girls, all under 10 years. In 1810, one boy and five girls under 10 were added, also an adult male. On the 1820 census, only two boys under ten, two girls 10-16 and an adult female remained with Thomas, Sr. and his wife. In 1830, the family of Thomas, Sr. consisted of one male 10-15, one male 15-20 and one male 20-30. (These three could be Thomas, Jr., born 1808; Eli born 1813 and the younger John who was left behind when Thomas, Jr. and Eli left for Georgia). Also, the family contained five females ranging in age from 10 to 30 years and one over 45. It appears that Thomas, Sr.'s household became a haven for widows and/or spinsters for, in 1840, five females still remained with the family, one of which was under five and one male 20-30. The two older boys (Thomas, Jr. and Eli) were not listed. They left for Georgia in 1837-38.

Neither Thomas, Sr. nor the younger boy were listed on the 1850 census. (Thomas evidently died before 1850 and John supposedly migrated to Texas). However, the following clutch of females were on the 1850 census of Greenville County:

Jane Dean, age 70, born in North Carolina (She had been listed in all previous census reports as a few years younger than Thomas, Sr.). Listed in her house¬ hold were the following, all born in South Carolina:

7

Page 28: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,
Page 29: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,

Mary Dean, age 45; Rachael Dean, age 40; Nancy Dean, age 35; Clarissa Dean, age 25; Nancy Dean, age 12.

These people matched, in age brackets, the six females with Thomas, Sr. on the 1840 census.

In addition, according to the Deed Index of Greenville County, Jane Dean bought 115 acres of land in 1851 on Reedy Fork Creek, where Thomas bought in 1798 and evidently lived out his life there.

The following Deans on the 1850 census with their families are thought to be sons of Thomas, Sr. and Jane Dean. (Thomas had two sons under 10 on the 1800 census):

Jehu Dean, age 50, farmer; Rebecca Dean, age 15; Sarah Dean, age 12; Louisa Dean, age 7, . . . all born in South Carolina.

The above family first appeared on the 1840 census living near Thomas, Sr. with wife and seven children and, in 1850, was living next door to Jane Dean.

The following family appeared on the Greenville County census near Thomas, Sr. in 1830-40 with four boys and four girls in 1840:

Jesse Dean, age 56, farmer, born in North Carolina; Eliza Dean, age 45, born in South Carolina; Henry Dean., age 18, laborer, born in South Carolina; Maria Dean, age 16, born in South Carolina; Jesse Dean, Jr., age 14, born in South Carolina; Augusta Dean, age 11, born in South Carolina; Eugenia Dean, age 1, born in South Carolina.

Jesse and Elizabeth Dean sold 552 acres on Reedy River in 1849, probably the bulk of Thomas, Sr. estate.

The following families on the 1850 census are thought to be Charles Dean's widow and son:

Elizabeth Dean, age 78, born in North Carolina; Mary Dean, age 46, born in South Carolina; Nancy Dean, age 40, born in South Carolina.

Page 31: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,

Living nearby: (All born in South Carolina)

John Dean, age 55, Blacksmith; Mary Dean, age 55; Caroline Dean, age 30; Jackson Dean, age 16; James Dean, age 12.

The above family was on the 1830-40 census with eight children in 1840 and, in 1823, John Dean bought 182 acres on Reedy River.

Other Dean families on the Greenville County census 1820 through 1840 were:

1820 - Henry Dean, age 18-26. Three children under 10.

1830 - Thomas J. Dean, Captain, age 20-30. One child under 10.

1830 - Jasper Dean, age 20-30. No children.

1840 - Hiram Dean, age 30-40. Three children.

Also, one female age 60-70 who probably was Elizabeth, Charles Dean's widow. Charles was not on the 1840 census.

1840 - Jefferson Dean, age 30-40. Five children. (Could be the Thomas J. Dean on the 1830 census).

All of the above Deans are thought to be sons of Charles Dean as, according to the 1810 census, he had a total of seven boys. Also, Charles Dean deeded land to Thomas J. in 1826 and to Hiram in 1830, both on Rocky Creek and Enoree River.

Charles Dean was a large land owner. In 1793 he bought 107 acres on Rocky Creek, 200 acres on Enoree River in 1799, 54 acres on Rocky Creek and Enoree River in 1809, and 503 acres on Rocky Creek in 1818. Charles was on the Greenville County census 1800 through 1830.

Now that the reader is as confused as we are as to the parentage of Thomas Dean, Jr., we suggest you choose whomsoever you feel are the parents of Thomas, Jr. and Eli . . . you may be as correct as anyone.

THE HOOD ANCESTORS IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA

Although the parentage of Nancy Hood, who married Thomas Dean, Jr., could not be documented, analysis of the 1810 through 1830 census records of Pendleton District and Pickens County, South Carolina, and the 1840-50 census of Union County, Georgia, indicates her parents were Enoch and Mildred Hood who migrated to Georgia in 1837-38 with Thomas, Jr. and Nancy (Hood) Dean.

In turn, the census records indicated Enoch was a son of John Hood, a Revolutionary War soldier, but the connection could not otherwise be documented.

According to his pension application, National Archives, File #S-1534, John Hood was born in 1755-60. The 1800 census of Pendleton District, South Carolina, indicated he was over 45. The 1850 census of Fentress County, Tennessee, gave his age as 95 and his birthplace Virginia. According to his pension applica¬ tion, he enlisted in the North Carolina Line in Burke County, North Carolina, 15 May 1781 and was released a year later. He served most of the time in South Carolina under General Sumpter. He was wounded by a musket ball on the inner left thigh during the battle of Eutaw Springs near Orangeburgh, South Carolina. He mentioned in the application his older brother, Andrew Hood, and another brother, Thomas Hood, of Illinois. Andrew executed an affidavit in support of the pension application.

John appeared on the 1790 census of Pendleton District, South Carolina, with brothers Thomas and Morgan Hood. John had three boys under 16. Although not on the census, Andrew was there for he bought land there between 1793-1801, as did John, Richard and Thomas Hood.

John next appeared on the 1800 census of Pendleton District with three boys still under 16 and one under 10. He and Andrew next appeared on the 1820 census of Overton County, Tennessee. John had only two boys left, both under 10. Andrew had none. Fentress County was formed from Overton County about 1826 and the Hoods found themselves in the new County, living at the Henlopen Coal Mines, about ten miles from Jamestown, the County seat.

Evidently, John Hood's three older boys didn't go to Tennessee with him as none appeared on the 1820 Overton County census. A younger boy, John, was on the 1830 census of Overton County . . . at that time he was 30-40.

Two of the five who remained in Pendleton District, South Carolina, are believed to be Enoch and Robert Hood who were on the 1810 census of Pendleton District, both under 26. Others who remained

were Travers, Thomas and William, probably sons of Andrew or Thomas Hood.

Enoch Hood received a land grant on Dades Creek December 1813 and sold it in 1833. He and Travers were close neighbors of Elisha Dean, brother of Thomas, Sr. of Greenville County, 1810 to 1837. In 1830, Enoch had five boys and three girls. The Enoch Hood family migrated to Georgia with Thomas, Jr. and Nancy (Hood) Dean, 1837-38, and, in 1840 still had three sons and two daughters and was a close neighbor of Thomas Dean, Jr. and Eli.

The 1850 census of Union County, Georgia, listed Enoch, now 66, wife, Mildred 63, sons Jackson, 27, Earl, 22, and Elizabeth Dean, 15, born in South Carolina, believed to be a daughter of Eli Dean, brother of Thomas, Jr.

Enoch Hood died before 1860, as Mildred, his widow, was living alone in Blairsville, according to the 1860 census. Her occupa¬ tion was listed as "Knitter".

The family of Enoch Hood, as reconstructed from the census records 1800 through 1850, South Carolina, and 1840 through 1880, Union County, Georgia, is as follows:

1...Enoch Hood, b. 1784, N.C., m. ca.1806 in Pendleton District, S.C., Mildred _, b. 1787 , S.C.

THE DEAN FAMILY IN GEORGIA

According to the account of Samantha (Newton) Dean, as told to Jesse W. Dean, Elizabeth Dean, a sister of Thomas, Jr. and Eli, emigrated with them to Georgia and, according to the account, never married.

The only Elizabeth Dean found in Union and Fannin County, Georgia at anytime was on the 1850 census, 15 years old, born in South Carolina, listed with Enoch and Mildred Hood, Nancy (Hood) Dean's parents. This Elizabeth Dean is believed to be a daughter of Eli Dean who was listed on the 1840 census of Union County, next door to Thomas Dean, Jr. and Enoch Hood. With Eli were one female, age 20-30, one female -10 and one male -5.

Eli Dean was not listed on any other census of Union and Fannin County until 1880. The 1850-1860 census of all North Georgia, Western North Carolina and Southeast Tennessee counties were checked for Eli with no result. Listing of Eli Dean and family on 1880 census of Union County, Georgia follows:

Sometime in late 1837 or early 1838, Thomas, Jr. and family, together with brother Eli, sister Elizabeth (supposedly) and Nancy's parents, Enoch and Mildred Hood, emigrated to Union County, Georgia and settled on Nottely Creek, now Nottely Reservoir, in the Ivy Log Community.

According to the "Georgia Landmarks and Memorials", Georgia De¬ partment of Archives and History, "Thomas Dean was among the first settlers in Union County after the removal of the Cherokee Indians".

The 1840 census of Union County, Georgia, listed Thomas Dean, 30-40, one female, 30-40, four boys and two girls all under 10. Nearby, Eli Dean, 30-40, was listed with one female, 20-30, one female, 5-10, and one male under 5. Enoch Hood, 50-60, was a neighbor with wife and five children.

On the 1850 census of Union County, Georgia, Thomas, Jr. and Nancy (Hood) Dean's entire family of ten children were listed. His second wife, Mary (Patterson) Dean, 23, was also listed. The ten children of Thomas, Jr. and Nancy (Hood) Dean were:

William J.? John M.;Malinda; Jinsey; James R.; Jesse C.; Samuel H.; Juda.; Thomas J. and Elisha A.

All seven of Thomas, Jr. and Nancy (Hood) Dean's boys served in the Rebel Army during the Civil War. Following are extracts of their C.S.A. Military Records obtained from the National Archives in Washington, D.C.:

Entry later cancelled. On 26 Nov. 1863 was re¬ ported as a deserter with the notation "supposed to be captured". He was reported as captured in Cooke Co., Tenn. 14 Jan. 1864 and imprisoned at Knoxville, Tenn., which nullified the "deserter" report. Transferred to Louisville, Ky. 24 Jan. 1864. Transferred to Rock Island Barracks, Ill. 31 Jan. 1864. Transferred to New Orleans, La. 3 May 1865 for exchange.

7...Elisha Anderson Dean, enlisted as Sgt. in Co. I, 11th. Georgia Cavalry 15 Aug. 1864 at Athens, Ga. This unit was formed at this time for the purpose of fighting Gen. Sherman's forces on their march through Georgia. Note by author: They were evidently "scraping the bottom of the barrel" to enlist an 18-year-old as Sergeant in a cavalry unit and also enlist his older brother, Samuel H. Dean, who had previously lost a leg. This unit probably was composed of young boys, cripples and old men." Elisha was captured at Waynesboro, Ga. 4 Dec. 1864. Was cited by Jefferson Davis, Pres. C.S.A. for bravery beyond the call of duty when wounded during the battle of General Sherman's march through Georgia. Was imprisoned at Point Lookout, Maryland, where he was released 19 June 1865 on taking the oath of allegiance to the U. S.

Now it is understandable that Grandpa Elisha would almost commit

mayhem on anyone who would inadvertently whistle or hum "March¬

ing Through Georgia" within his hearing.

In addition, Thomas Dean, Jr., and two sons, John Martin and

Elisha, were enrolled in a company of State Militia formed in

Union County in Dec. 1863. John Martin was evidently on sick

leave from the Army after being wounded earlier in the year, for

his record shows he was discharged from the Army 16 Apr. 1865.

The fact that Thomas Dean, Jr. and all of his seven sons served

in the CSA Military forces indicates a strong loyalty to their

State and to the principles of States Rights. Thomas nor his

sons ever owned a slave and, as they chose to live in an area

where few, if any, slaves existed, it is likely they more or less

disapproved of slavery, which makes their sacrifice all the more

noteworthy.

Thomas Dean, Jr., was a remarkable man in other ways. He married

three times, managing to obtain a young wife each time, and sired

at least twenty-seven children, twenty-one of whom were boys. He

was sixty-two when he took his third "blushing bride". They

had nine children, the youngest born when Thomas was about seventy

six.

Five of the second family died young during the Civil War and post

war period, possibly due to malnutrition and subsequent disease

epidemics, which left a total of twenty-two offspring who mar¬

ried, most of whom had large families, resulting in a population

explosion that staggers the imagination. Estimating average

families of the times, the result would be more than 15,000 des¬

cendants of Thomas Dean, Jr., most of whom are living.

FAMILY AND DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS, JR. AND NANCY (HOOD) DEAN

1...William J. Dean, oldest son of Thomas, Jr. and Nancy (Hood

Dean, b. 1831, S.C., d. Fannin County, Ga., m. (1) ca. 1855

Susannah (Sue) Chastain, b. 1835, daughter of John and

Nancy Chastain. They had five children:

1.. .Nancy Dean, b. 1856, Union County, Georgia.

2.. .James Dean, b. 1858, Union County, Georgia.

was evidently a casualty of the Civil War as indicated by their youngest child being born in 1863. Narcissus Mashburn was listed on the 1870 census of Fannin County as a farmer and had four children with her. The youngest daughter, Josephine Rebecca Mashburn, was listed with William and Narcissus Dean on the 1880 census as step-daughter.

1.. Nancy Caroline Dean, b. ca. 1869, Van Buren Co., Ark., d. after 1935, Idaho. Family tradition has it that Caroline worked as a dance hall girl in Idaho. She married _ Lambert in Idaho. Two sons: Roy Lambert and one other.

2.. Logan J. Dean, b. Dec. 1879, Van Buren Co., Ark. Last heard of in Minturn, Colo.

Thomas J. Dean ("Uncle Tomp" as he was known) became somewhat of a legendary figure in family tradition. Sometime in the 1880's he and his family joined a caravan heading for Oregon. Somewhere enroute, his wagon tumbled off a cliff after which he quit the caravan and returned to Ark., his family staying with the caravan. Some years later, his foot, damaged in the Civil War, acted up and had to be amputated. An eye witness to the event claimed the surgery was done sans anesthetic. He was loaded with Ozark "white lightning" and several men held him down while his leg was literally sawed off. It appears that poor old Uncle Tomp had lots of luck -- all bad! After Thomas J. Dean returned from the ill-fated Oregon trek he married (2) Mary (Polly) Byers, b. 1844, N.C. widow of David Byers, b. 1848, Tenn., who was the son of David, Sr. and Catharine Byers of Union Co., Ga., and who were next door neighbors of Thomas J. and Nellie (Jones) Dean in 1870 in Van Buren, Ark. Thomas J. and Polly (Byers) had one daughter. Both mother and daughter died soon after the birth. Thomas J. Dean next m. (3) Rebecca Jane McDonald, a widow, and mother of Wesley McDonald, the well-known Baptist preach¬ er who lived near Rex, Ark. for many years. Rebecca Jane Dean was listed as widow of Thomas J. on her pension applica¬ tion in 1902.

10..Elisha Anderson Dean, youngest son of Thomas, Jr. and Nancy (Hood) Dean, b. 18 May 1846, Union Co., Ga. d. 12 Jan 1913, Rex, Ark. Note: The dates of births, marriages and deaths of Elisha Dean and family were taken from entries in a family Bible now in possession of Mrs. Paula McDaniel, Orange, Calif., dau. of David J. and Aylsye (Dean) Nelson. About 1867, Elisha A. Dean, with his brother Thomas J. migrated to North Ark. and settled in Hartsuggs Township, now Wheeler, in the extreme west end of Van Buren Co. There, Elisha met his future bride. Savannah L. Brown, dau. of an ex-Union Army Officer. Imagine a Confederate Rebel marrying a "Dam-Yankee" so soon after the war; it must, indeed, have been love! Or, maybe Elisha figured the Yanks owed him something after the bad time they had given him in Georgia. (See his Military Service Record).

Elisha Anderson Dean m. 31 Mar. 1870 in Van Buren Co., Ark. Savannah Luster Brown, b. 1 Apr 1849, Jackson Co., Tenn., d. 8 Dec. 1916 while visiting a son, John S. P. Dean, in San Francisco, Calif. She was cremated and the ashes scattered in beautiful Muir Woods on Mt. Tamalpias, overlooking San Francisco Bay.

Elisha Dean and his oldest son, Joel T. (Jody) were reported to be haters of Whiskey and moonshiners who made it. They, with a couple of other citizens named Tate and Cranmer, were said to have ferreted out many stills and reported them to the sheriff. One of the moonshiners was credited with composing a somewhat derogatory song, the refrain of which ran like this: "Tate and Cranmer and Old Lish Dean are the meanest men we ever seen-- and Jody". Elisha and son, Joel T., founded the little village of Rex, Ark. which was completely destroyed by a tornado in 1930. Joel owned and ran a general merchandise store, 1895-1930 Elisha and Savannah L.

FAMILY AND DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS, JR. AND MARY (PATTERSON) DEAN

After Nancy (Hood) Dean died, Thomas Dean, Jr. married (2) before 1850, Mary Adeline Patterson, b. 1827, Georgia. Daughter of George Patterson. The remainder of George Patterson's family, living with him on the 1850 census: William 19, Elizer 17, John 13, Elijah 11, and Margaret 6. According to Solomon Dean, son of Thomas, Jr., and his third wife, Thomas, Jr. and Mary (Patterson) Dean had six children:

Eli P., Hardie, Mary Ann, Ranza, Hixon A. and Beauregard and the last three died young with diphtheria. Evidently they were born and died between 1860-70 as they never appeared on a census or other records. However, the 1860 census listed two others in the Thomas Dean, Jr. family — Hicks L. and Leander D. Dean, 7 and 2 years old respectively. Their ages fit well with the rest of the family, which consisted of Eli P., and the four youngest members of the first family, Jesse C., Juda, Thomas J. and Elisha A.. Hardie and Mary Ann didn't appear until 1870 census. Hicks L. and Leander D. didn't appear on the 1870 census so must also have died after 1860. As there were no other Dean families in Union, Fannin or other neighboring counties in which Hicks L. and Leander D. would fit into, they are assumed to be sons of Thomas, Jr. and Mary

(Patterson) Dean. Besides, after analyzing the other two families, it does not seem very likely that Thomas, Jr. would cut production to a mere six children in this family. Therefore, in order to preserve the image of Thomas, Jr. as a prolific progenitor, we are inclined to count eight children in this family.

The eight children of Thomas, Jr. and Mary (Patterson) Dean were: 1.. Hicks L. Dean, b. 1853, Union Co., Ga. The only record of him

is his listing on the 1860 census of Union Co., Ga. with the family of Thomas, Jr. and Mary (Patterson) Dean. He either died or "flew the coop" prior to 1870. He is considered a son of Thomas, Jr. and Mary (Patterson) Dean.

2.. Eli Pendleton Dean, b. 16 Apr 1856, Union Co., Ga., d. 21 Mar 1935, Scott Co., Kans., m. ca.1876 Mary Catharine Hayes, b. 25 Mar 1860, Union Co., Ga., d. 12 Sept 1923, Mo. Dau. of Jeremiah and Nancy L. Hayes. Jeremiah Hayes, b. 1838, N.C., d. ca. 1869, Union Co., Ga. leaving his widow, Nancy, with five minor children who were listed with her on the 1870 census as follows: Mary C. 10, Ransom 8, William J. 6, Joseph A. 4, and Sarah C. 1. On the 1880 census, William J. Hayes 16,was listed as head of household; Sarah C. and Joseph were listed with him. Eli P. and Mary C. Dean were on the 1880 census with two children, Columbus T. and Nancy A.

In 1883, Eli P., with brother Hardie M., hiked to Mo. where they located their homesteads, then sent for Eli's family. They settled near the town of Republic, Mo. Eli P. had joined the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in the Ivy Log Community of Union Co., Ga. and was ordained Deacon of the Church. His membership and office were transferred to his new locality. The twelve children of Eli P. and Mary C. (Hayes) Dean were: 1..Columbus Theodore Dean, b. 17 Aug 1877, Union Co., Ga., m.

5.. Mary Ann Dean, dau. of Thomas, Jr. and Mary (Patterson) Dean, b. 1868, Union Co., Ga.. Died at an early age at Scotland, Ark. The only documentation we have of her is that she appeared on the 1870-80 census with the Thomas Dean, Jr. family, listed as daughter. She was two years old when her mother died. According to family tradition, Mary Ann went to Van Buren Co., Ark. sometime in the 1880's and there married (1) _Byers; (2) _Wheat. The Byers she married may have been one of the sons of David and Mary Byers who were neighbors of her half-brothers, Elisha and Thomas J. Dean. Mary Ann is supposed to be buried near Scotland, Ark.

6.. Hixon, 7..Ranza and 8..Beauregard Dean were born and died between 1860-70. There is no documentation on them - only family tradition, according to which they all died with diphtheria in the post-war years.

FAMILY AND DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS, JR. AND MARY JANE (FOSTER) DEAN

After Thomas Dean's second wife, Mary (Patterson) Dean, died in 1870, he married (3) Mary Jane Foster, b. 1843 Ga., d. 1893, Union Co., Ga. Dau. of Graved E. and Margaret Foster, both of whom were born in N.C. Mary Jane first appeared on the 1850 census of Union Co., Ga. with her parents and four other children, Elizabeth 10, Joseph 7, William 3 and Jehu 2. Mary Jane was 6. The family was again on the 1860 census with two additional children, Sarah 6 and Felix 3. Mary Jane, 26 years old, next appeared on the 1870 census as head of household, occupation: farmer, with three children: Thomas F. Foster 7, Joseph W. Foster 3, and "Infant" 7-12 yrs. old. She was a close neighbor of Thomas, Jr. and Mary Dean. Her older brother, Joseph 29, lived next door with wife, Nancy, 29, b. N.C., and children, Jesse F. 3 and Martha J. 1 yr. old. In the neighbor¬ hood, her younger brother, Jehu Foster 22, was listed as head of household; Sarah and Felix were listed with him. Evidently the

parents had died during the war or post-war period and left them all orphaned.

According to Gilbert Y. Dean, Copperbill, Tenn., his grand¬ father, Perry F. Dean, told him that Mary Jane Foster was married to a man named Allen prior to her marriage to Thomas Dean, Jr., and that he remembered a half-brother with the surname Allen. This would explain the children of Mary Jane, however, she evidently resumed her maiden name after Mr. Allen died or divorced. Probably death, as many Union Co. people died in those post-war epidemics.

On the 1880 census of Union Co., Ga. the following Dean children were listed with Thomas, Jr. and Mary Jane (Foster) Dean. Hardie 16 (from second family), William 13, thought to be the Joseph W. Foster on the 1870 census with Mary Jane, Mary A. (from second family), Alfred 10, Margaret 8, Solomon 6, Perry 5, Safronia 3, Allen 1 and Homer 4 mo. old. This Homer was evidently the same lad who later became Norvie as Norvie was born 14 Feb 1880 and the census was taken 7 June 1880. Two others were born after 1880: Jackson and Jonah. Also on the 1880 census, living next door to Thomas, Jr. and Mary Jane, was the family of Mary Jane's other brother, William F. Foster, with wife, Nancy, and children, Caliph, John W., Green B.A., Sarah J., Nancy E., Thomas D. and Andrew.

The ten children of Thomas, Jr. and Mary Jane (Foster) Dean were: 1.. William (Foster Dean, b. 1867, Union Co., Ga. No other informa¬

tion except that he became a Baptist minister, migrated to Texas at an early age and resumed the surname "Foster". William is considered a step-son of Thomas Dean, Jr.

2.. Graved Alfred Dean, son of Thomas and Mary Jane (Foster) Dean, b. 20 Oct 1869, Union Co., Ga., d. 16 Sept 1963, Las Cruces. N. Mexico, m. 17 Mar 1892, Blue Ridge, Ga.

The following account of Allen Dean's death was contributed by Jesse W. Dean, Solomon's son:

Allen Dean was sheriff of Cherokee Co., N.C. in 1921 and, while investigating a disturbance at a small country store, two men shot him eleven times with 45 cal. revolvers, which made twenty-one holes in his body (bullets went all the way through, except one). He mounted his horse and rode to a friend's house from where he was taken to a hospital where he died soon after arrival. His wife, Eva (Arp) Dean was then appointed to serve the remainder of Allen's term. The two murderers were later arrested in Oklahoma and Eva went to Oklahoma to return them for trial. The men were turned over to her, handcuffed, but she had the handcuffs removed, then invited them to run anytime they so desired. They got off the train at Culberson, N.C., and she marched them eleven miles to the jail at Murphy, N.C., all the while daring them to run. The men were convicted but, because of being drunk at the time, were sentenced to only ten years in prison.

THE LEE ANCESTORS OF VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE

The earliest record we have of our Lee ancestors is of William Lee who died May 1810 in Russell Co., Va. (until 1790 a part of Washington Co.). To what degree he was related to the illustrious Lees of Virginia, such as Gen. Lighthorse Harry Lee, Gen. Robert E. Lee and the many prominent Lees of early colonial Virginia, we have no knowledge. No doubt there is some connection, however, we might have to go all the way back to England to find it. On the other hand, he could very well be connected to the North Carolina Lees (Leas). Many of the North Carolina names were spelled "Lea” on the 1790 census, and note that William signed his will with the name "Lea". Abner Lee, William's son, stated in his pension application that he was born in North Carolina, however, on the 1850 census, he gave his birthplace as Virginia. So, take your choice. Anyway, the relationship is there, even if back to England.

mented by DAR file #92071. Mrs. Margaret Michols Hines, Bowling

Green, Ky. was the membership recipient. According to Abner Lee's

pension application submitted in 1846, National Archives file

#R6257, he was drafted into the Army as a private in Sept. 1780

in Washington Co., Va. and fought under General Ferguson in

Virginia, North and South Carolina and East Tenn. He was in the

battle of Kings Mountain and was at the side of Capt. Cullock when

that officer was mortally wounded. He was discharged in April

1785. Abner stated in the application he had lived in Virginia

and Tenn. since the war except for one year in Illinois. He may

have lived for a short while in N.C. in 1786 as his oldest son,

Abner, Jr., was born in N.C. according to the 1850 census of

Daviess Co., Ky. and DAR File #92071.

On the 1820 census (first) of Jackson Co., Tenn., Abner Lee,

Sr. was listed with wife, three boys and three girls. Three other

Lees, George, Ephraim and Abner, Jr. living nearby, are probably

Abner, Sr. sons. In 1830, Abner, Sr.'s first wife, Franky, was

still with him. Sometime between 1830-35 Franky left him and went

to live with their oldest son, Abner Lee, Jr. in Daviess Co., Ky.

They were evidently divorced for, in Oct. 1835, Abner Lee, Sr.,

then 75 years old, m. (2) Sally Miller, a widow, 40 yrs. old.

Evidently, Sally also deserted Abner, Sr. for, in an affidavit

executed 17 Nov 1855 by Ailcy Van Zandt and John G. Van Zandt, son

of Ailcy, in support of a land grant application by Sally (Miller)

Lee for her two sons, Granville and Greenwood Lee, Ailcy Van Zandt

stated that "her father, Abner Lee, was taken into her home about

1850 because he was ill and destitute and would receive better

care." Abner Lee, 89, was listed in the home of Isiah and Ailcy

Van Zandt (spelled Vinzant) on the 1850 census of Jackson Co.,

Tenn. He lived with them until he died in 1852.

The Overton Co. Cemetery is located on land donated by Abner

Lee, Sr. from his original land grant in the 9th Civil Dist. on

the Roaring River, Jackson Co., Tenn.

THE VAN ZANDT ANCESTORS IN PENNSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE

Although the name was spelled many ways in various documents - Vinsant, Vansant, Vinzant, Vanzant, Van Zandt, etc. (probably spelled in accordance with the pronunciation and accent), Van Zandt will be used herein because the only actual signatures found were so written by John G. Van Zandt, son of Isiah and Ailcy (Lee) Van Zandt and by Elisha Van Zandt, brother of Isiah.

It is no secret that the Van Zandts originated in Holland. They first arrived in New York (New Amsterdam) in the early 1600's. By early 1700's they were pushing into the neighboring States of New Jersey, Maryland and Penn., later into Virginia. By 1750, they were in North Carolina and by 1810 were in Tenn. and Kentucky.

Jacob, Jared J.and James Vinzant were on the 1790 census of Rutherford Co., N.C. According to the book "Tennessee Cousins", a Jacob Van Zandt was in Lincoln Co., Tenn. 1810 and had come from Rutherford Co., N.C.. Jacob, Jr. and son Isaac were recorded in Franklin Co., Tenn. in 1817. The date, 1817, is probably erroneous as Mrs. J. R. Besse, Silver City, New Mexico has a copy of Jacob Van Zandt's will dated 9 Oct 1815 in Franklin Co., Tenn., witnessed

by David and John Crockett (the one and only DAVY CROCKETT?). Mrs. Besse stated Jacob was a son of Garrett (Garad) Van Zandt of Lincoln (later Rutherford) Co., N.C.

In 1794, according to Mrs. H. C. Van Zandt, Edmonton, Ky., Garrett and Margaret (Smith) Van Zandt came to Ky. from Rutherford Co., N.C. on pack horses. He was on the 1810 census of Barren Co., Ky. This Garrett is evidently a son of Garrett, Sr. who executed a will in Lincoln Co., N.C. 1783, and brother of Jacob who went to Tenn., as Garrett, Sr. named both in his will.

A Jacob and Hiram Van Zandt from Rutherford Co., N.C. were recorded in Monroe Co., Tenn. (See "Tennessee Cousins") in 1830, from where they later migrated to Ft. Worth, Texas and became prominent bankers there.

On the 1790 and 1800 census of Bucks Co. , Penn., we find the traditional Van Zandt given names, Jacob, Gabriel, Isiah, Joshua, John, George, Peter and Cornelius. On the 1810 census of Botetourt Co., Virginia, we find Christian, Jno, Peter and Jacob. On the Botetourt Co. Marriage Register 1770-1853 are Elijah and Isiah.

Our first documented record of ancestor John Van Zandt, Sr. was the 1820 census (first) of Jackson Co., Tenn. on which he and wife were listed with six boys and three girls. Neither John, Sr. or his wife were on the 1830 census, however, John, Jr., now 30-40, was listed as head of household with wife 30-40, three other men 30-40 and three minor children. Isiah 30-40 was listed next door to John, Jr. with wife 20-30, three minor children and one man 20-30. In 1840, John, Jr., Elisha, Joshua and Isiah were listed separately. Isiah now had only two children, a boy and girl. No older men were listed with them -- they probably had moved else¬ where. On the 1850 census, only Isiah and Joshua remained, and Ezekiel was listed for the first time. On the 1860 census, only Joshua and John G., son of Isiah were listed.

Based on the above data, it is evident that the sons of John Van Zandt, Sr. were John, Jr., Elisha, Isiah, Ezekiel and Joshua. The sixth son is not accounted for.

It is believed that John Van Zandt, Sr. came to Tenn. from Botetourt Co., Va., as two of his sons were listed on the 1850 census of Jackson Co., Tenn. as born in Va. 1800 and 1804. A younger son was listed as born in Tenn. 1815, which indicates they arrived in Tenn. after 1804 and before 1815. No record of Van Zandts was found elsewhere in Virginia.

FAMILY AND DESCENDANTS OF JOHN VAN ZANDT, SR.:

1.. John Van Zandt, Jr. was born 1790-1800. He last appeared on the 1840 Jackson Co., Tenn. census. At that time, two sons and three daughters were listed with him.

2.. Elisha Van Zandt was born 1790-1800. He last appeared on the 1840 census of Jackson Co., Tenn. and had what appeared to be a "ready-made" family -- a young wife, an older woman and a male old enough to be his wife's brother. Elisha was on the Jackson Co. tax list in 1839 on Jennings Creek (Abner and George Lee were also listed on the Jennings Creek in 1841). Elisha signed his name "Van Zandt".

Ailcy's father, Abner Lee, Sr. was listed in the family of Isiah and Ailcy on the 1850 census. Isiah Van Zandt first appeared on the 1830 census of Jackson Co., Tenn. with two boys -5 and one girl -5. In 1840, one boy and one girl were listed, both 10-15. In 1850, only the son John G., was listed. (Parrizeda married in 1848). The two children of Isiah and Ailcy (Lee) Van Zandt were: 1.. Parrizeda G. Van Zandt, b. 1826, Jackson Co., Tenn., d. 4

Nov 1898, Van Buren Co., Ark. This relationship is not documented, however, in Parrizeda's pension application, National Archives file #242254, Civil War, Union Army, she stated her maiden name was Van Zandt and that she was married in Jackson Co., Tenn. in 1848. Her age matched that of the female listed with Isiah and Ailcy Van Zandt on the 1830-40 census of Jackson Co., Tenn. No female was listed with Isiah and Ailcy on the 1850 census. Of the three Van Zandt families left in Jackson Co. in 1850, Isiah and Ailcy were the most logical choice as parents. Also, the names, Isiah, Ailcy and John G. were found in later generations. Parrizeda Van Zandt m. 2 May 1848 in Jackson Co., Tenn. Joel Weeks, b. 1819, Overton Co., Tenn., d. 27 Dec 1867, Van Buren Co., Ark. Son of Gamblin Weeks.

THE WEEKS FAMILY IN TENNESSEE AND ARKANSAS

Gamblin Weeks was born 1798, Tenn. He first appeared on the 1820 census of Overton Co., Tenn. (first Tenn. census). On that

name was spelled "Wix". He had one boy and one girl -10 probably brothers, Reuben and Gideon Wix, lived nearby, census, Gamblin Weeks was listed with two boys and five

A younger man, Garrett Weeks, lived nearby. On the 1840 Gamblin Weeks was listed with one boy -15 and three girls.

census, the Two others, On the 1830 girls. census, The older boy was not listed. Gamblin Weeks was not listed on the 1850 census of Overton Co. Gamblin next appeared on a marriage license issued in Pope Co., Ark. in 1858. The blushing bride was Hannah Laney, a widow. On the 1860 census of Pope Co., Ark., Independence Township, Gamblin Weeks, 62 yrs. of age, b. Tenn., was listed with his new family as follows:

Gamlia Weeks, age 62, born Tenn. ("Gamblin" was probably trans¬ posed to "Gamlia" when typed from handwritten original).

Hannah Weeks, age 37, Elizabeth Laney, age 13, John Laney, age 15, Job Laney, age 10 - all born in Tennessee.

Martha Laney, age 5 and Mary Church, age 2 born in Arkansas.

In addition, the following large family was living in the home of Gamblin Weeks:

Page 163: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,

Solomon Alread, age 36; Sarah J. Alread, age 36; Thomas B. Alread, age 15; Henrietta Alread, age 11 all born in Tenn.

Mary J. Alread, age 9 and Eleazer Alread, age 8, born in Mo.

Margaret M. Alread, age 3 and Alonzo C. Alread, age 1, both born in Arkansas.

Solomon and Sarah Alread had one more son born 1865, named Gamblin W. Alread. Sarah Alread is believed to be a daughter of Gamblin Weeks as Solomon Alread, Sr. was a neighbor of Gamblin Weeks in Overton Co., Tenn., 1830-40, and Sarah and Solomon Jr. were on the 1850 census of Overton Co. with three children, Thomas, Catharine and Henrietta.

There was no further record of Gamblin Weeks, however, there was a slight mystery about the signature of a witness to Parrizeda Brown's pension application in 1882. Along with the signatures of Jacob Copeland and Solomon Alread was "G. W. Gamlia".

Solomon and Sarah Alread moved to Van Buren Co. and, in 1880, were neighbors of Parrizeda Brown, Gamblin Weeks' daughter-in-law, also Solomon's oldest son, Thomas B. Alread, was listed on the 1880 census as a neighbor of Parrizeda Brown and Solomon Alread. He had no wife, but had one son, Robert H. Alread, b. 1868. The community of Alread was named for this Alread family.

Although there is no specific documentary proof, Joel Weeks is considered a son of Gamblin Weeks of Overton, Co., Tenn., later of Pope Co., Ark. Family tradition is that Joel Weeks, while liv¬ ing in Jackson Co., Tenn., about 1851, was attacked by two men whom he stabbed with a knife and left for dead. He fled to Missouri, probably joining his sister, Sarah Alread, and later sent for his family. After a short stay there, they moved on to the remote Ozark wilderness in the extreme western part of Van Buren Co., bordering on Pope Co., and settled there about 1853-54. Joel had changed his name to Joseph Brown. The family assumed the name Brown, also. Joel's mother was said to be Brown. The name change is proven by the 1850 census of Jackson Co., Tenn. and 1860 census of Van Buren Co., Ark., as follows:

1850 Census, Jackson Co., Tenn., page 298, Line 880, all born in Tennessee:

Joel Weeks, age 31, farmer; Parazetta Weeks, age 24; Angelina Weeks, age 11; Lucinda Weeks, age 6; Martha Weeks, age 4; Luster Weeks, age 1, (female). NOTE: This Luster turned out to be Savannah Luster.

Angelina, Lucinda and Martha were daughters of a previous marriage.

1860 Census, Van Buren Co., Ark., Hartzogg Township, page 359, Line 137:

Joseph Brown, age 37, farmer; Parizeddy Brown, age 38; Thomas Alread, age 16; Angelina Brown, age 20; Lucinda Brown, age 17; Martha Brown, age 15; Savannah L. Brown, age 11; Catharine Brown, age 9, all born in Tennessee.

Page 165: ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYwvancestry.com/ReferenceMaterial/Files/The_Dean... · Letter Written by Solomon Dean 4 Letter Written by Jesse W. Dean 5 The Seven Sons of Thomas Dean,

Winfield G. Brown, age 6; John R. Brown, age 4; and Joel Brown, age 2, all born in Arkansas.

Evidently, Joel Weeks had changed his age as well as name. Joseph Brown's military record dated 12 July 1863 gave his age as 44, which coincides with his age on the 1850 census, and his birthplace as Overton Co., Tenn. The census records of 1820-30, Overton Co., Tenn., indicate that Gamblin Weeks had a son of this age.

NOTE: The Thomas Alread listed above is the same Thomas B. Alread listed on the Pope Co. census, living with Gamblin Weeks, which was enumerated a few weeks earlier.
