PREFATORY NOTE. 
 
 For some time prior to 1900 Mr. Walter S. Dean of Lords- 
 town had been gathering up the floating traditions of our fam- 
 ily history. At the first annual reunion of the Dean family, 
 held in August, 1900, at the residence of Ward Dean of Rose- 
 mont, Mr. J. Ernest Dean read a paper upon the early Deans 
 of New England. A commitee on family history was appointed 
 consisting of W. S. Dean, Lottie M. Sackett and B. S. Dean. 
 To the deep regret of all the cousins W. S. Dean was removed 
 from our circle by death in 1901. At the next reunion, held at 
 the residence of Almus Beardsley, on Dean Hill, Canfield, Mr. 
 Ernest Dean was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the 
 death of Walter Dean. The following pages embody the results 
 of the committee's labors to the present. 
 
 There have been two marked periods of Puritan migration : 
 that which planted hew England from 1620 to 1640, and that 
 which planted a new New England in the heart of the continent 
 two centuries later. The immediate cause of the first migra- 
 tion was the tyranny of King Charles I. ; of the second, the pas- 
 sage of the Ordinance of 1787, which gave the Northwest free 
 labor and the school house. Our ancestors took part in both 
 movements. Our knowledge of their share in the first move- 
 ment is limited to a few facts concerning a single person. 
 We know many facts about several of the actors in the 
 second. To preserve that knowledge from the oblivion that 
 has fallen upon our earlier ancestry is the purpose of this 
 historical sketch. 
 
 No attempt is here made to give a history of the present gen- 
 eration of Deans. A table of the direct line of descent from 
 Thomas to William Dean ; a complete table of William Dean's 
 descendants ; brief biographies of his children, together with a 
 iuller account of his life before and after the migration to Ohio, 
 comprise the substance of this pamphlet. If ever the history of 
 the present generation is written it must be by our descendants. 
 But we ought to be creating and preserving the materials for 
 such history. Legal documents having no money value are

 reat historic interest and should be carefully pre- 
 yed. A hundred times, while preparing these pages, I have 
 wished 1 had begun the work while my father was living, or 
 lie hail left fuller records as a basis for my work. 
 In September, 1901, 1 was permitted to indulge a long cher- 
 ished desire t" spend a day in our ancestral town of Cornwall, 
 n. With hardh a clue to start with I found a surveyor's 
 chart, locating the lands of Reuben Dean, the Cornwall Con- 
 gregational Church — the church of Ruth Dean — the old Dean 
 mill and Dean house at Cornwall Bridge and the grave of Reu- 
 ben Dean. The descriptions of the text are therefore drawn 
 from personal observation. Our family history might he di- 
 vided into three Periods: Ancient. Mediaeval and Modern. The 
 first would extend from the landing of Thomas Dean at Bos- 
 ton in 1635 to the settlement of Reuben Dean in Cornwall about 
 1740; the second from the settlement in Cornwall to the migra- 
 te >n [< > < >hi< » in 1 S 10 ; the third from iS 10 to the present. 
 
 My son, J. E. Dean, has written of the first: I have dealt 
 with the third, while we have both touched briefly upon the 
 nd. I wi^li to ex|»re>> my thanks to the main cousins who 
 have aided in gathering material, especially to cousin Lottie 
 kett, who has done the greater part of the correspondence 
 relating to her branch of the family. 1 can scarcely hope that 
 the record i.s wholly free from error; hut 1 shall be grateful 
 for any corrections or the addition of any material facts. 
 
 This little work may fall into the hands of early collateral 
 branches of the Dean family, or of others interested in the pre 
 .ation of the family history. The writer will esteem it a 
 favor to he put on the track of published records or anv other 
 of information concerning the family history. 
 I he time spent has been snatched from the pressing duties 
 of a bus) life. But it has been a labor of love to tell the story 
 >ur am . and if these pages shall stimulate their pos- 
 
 teril their plain old-fashioned virtues and to cherish 
 
 famih patriotism, I shall he amply rewarded.

THE BEGINNINGS IN NEW ENGLAND. 
 
 THE BEGINNINGS IN NEW ENGLAND. 
 
 BY J. ERNEST DEAN. 
 
 During eleven years, from 1629- 1640, when King Charles I. 
 of England reigned without calling Parliament, 23,000 English 
 are said to have come to New England. In 1634 the Lords com- 
 missioners for the colonies forbade the emigration of all per- 
 sons of the degree of "subsidy men" without a special license, 
 and all beneath that without evidence of having taken the oath 
 of allegiance to the crown. (Subsidy men were those of some 
 property subject to certain taxes.) Part of the time records 
 were kept of emigrants, but those extant are fragmentary. In 
 Hotten's "Ship Lists" we find a published collection of these 
 names, for the year 1635. On various days from April 13 to 
 May 14 ninety-eight people registered for passage to New Eng- 
 land in the ship Elizabeth and Ann. Among these (probably 
 registered May 9) we find one "Thos. Dane, carpenter, age 32." 
 The date of sailing is not given. Over each of the groups of 
 those registered is a statement similar to the following : 
 "These underwritten are to be transported to New England, 
 embarqued in the Elizabeth and Ann, Roger Coop (Cooper?) 
 Mr. The p'ties have brought certificates from the Minister and 
 Justices of Peace of their conformitie to ye orders and disci- 
 pline of ye church of England and vt they are no subsidy Men. 
 They have taken the oath of Allegiance and Supremacy." 
 
 In Sept., 1634, the General Court of Mass. ordered that there 
 should be a plantation at Musquetaquid to be called thereafter 
 Concord, to contain six miles square of land. The court relieved 
 the prospective settlement of taxes for three years and granted 
 other privileges. The plantation at Musquetaquid was settled 
 by Rev. Peter Bulkely of Odell, England, associated with Si- 
 mon Willard, who brought with him about twelve families. Mr. 
 Bulkely embarked at London May 9, 1635, in the ship Susan 
 and Ellen, accompanied by William Buttrick and Thomas 
 Brooks. Mrs. Bulkely sailed two days- before (dates do not 
 agree) in the Elizabeth and Ann under the escort of Thos. 
 
MAS HISTORY 
 
 Dane, from which it may be inferred that by the temporary 
 aration of husband and wife the orders prohibiting the de- 
 parture of clergymen and subsidy men were more easily 
 evaded. 
 
 Rev. Bulkely seemed to be the only man subject to this order. 
 llie re-t <ii the Concord nun were of humble station in Eng- 
 land, of small mean-, who hoped in the new world to better 
 their condition and to enjoy unmolested their simpler forms of 
 religious worship. There is no reason to think that the Con- 
 cord settlers came together on English soil before sailing. For 
 the most part their homes in England were rather widely sep- 
 arated. 
 
 Simon Willard, James Hosmer, and probably William Buss 
 
 and Thos. Dane were from Kent. England. There seems to 
 
 have been a strong Kentish influence in the early histor) of the 
 
 settlement. Pushing through the wilderness to the northwest 
 
 of Boston about nineteen miles, they arrived a! their new home. 
 
 the first English town in New England above tidewater. 
 
 The Indian village of Musquetaquid was purchased of Squaw 
 
 Sachem i widow of a great Massachusetts chief), following the 
 
 practice of other Massachusetts settlements in getting their 
 
 rights from both the colonist government and the natives. 
 
 This place, which was one of the chief Indian villages, was 
 
 chosen because ol large open fields along the river which 
 
 the Indian- had burned over each year and cultivated. This 
 
 the labor ol felling forests, but the land proved wet 
 
 and not very profitable. 
 
 ording to the custom of other towns the land was di- 
 vided anion- the settlers, giving each a house-lot, so that the 
 hou not wideh separated, and larger fields were as- 
 
 farther from town. 
 
 Tolman of Concord says thai Dane's house-lot was part 
 ■ Bulkely's land, the first lol on the "Bay Road," 
 highway of the settlemenl and settled by pioneers. 
 m Wolcott's history say that Dane owned a house-lot 
 lending from the •■burial lull to the mill pond and

 ed were burned, so that many fact- are lost. Where

 stone is marked 1677. In 1644 there were about fifty families 
 in the town. 
 
 In the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 
 Vol. XVIII. ( 1864), we find a list of the descendants of Thom- 
 as Dane of Concord, Mass. This list was compiled by the late 
 John Ward Dean (not of our family), from notes gathered in 
 compiling his own family history. We learn this from Henry 
 Ernest Woods, his successor as Editor of the Register, who 
 states also that so far as he knows no history has been published 
 of any of the family of this Thomas Dane, except the list re- 
 ferred to. There were a half dozen families of Dean or Deane 
 in the very early days of New England, not related, and no 
 doubt more of the name came over later, of still other families. 
 The list of Deans down to Reuben, Benjamin and William is 
 substantially the same as that published in the Register, with a 
 few additions and corrections. Elsewhere we print the full list, 
 but following is a short article prefacing the list in the Register : 
 
 "Thomas Dane (or Dean as his descendants spell it), was 
 born about 1603, being recorded as thirty-two years old when 
 he embarked at London, Eng., for New England, May 9 (later) 
 1635 in the ship Elizabeth and Ann. He settled at Concord, 
 Mass.. as early as 1640. where he lived till his death. Feb. 5, 
 1675-6. From 1645-8 his wife was Elizabeth. His wife, Mil- 
 dred died m 1675. On the fourth of June, 1658, he contracted 
 to put over for seven years to Thomas Welch, of Charlestown, 
 his servant, Thomas Ches(man), aged about eleven, which ser- 
 vant had been bound to Dane by the officers of Cranbrook in 
 Kent, Eng., for sixteen years or until he reached the age of 
 twenty-one years. This may serve as a clue to Dane's English 
 home, but with no certainty." The earlier accounts we give are 
 from Wolcott's history of Concord (1884) and vary a little 
 from the above account. 
 
 Thomas Dane lived and died at Concord, Mass. His son 
 Joseph passed his whole life at Concord, dying at the age of 
 eighty. He married Elizabeth Fuller, of Concord, daughter of 
 Lieut. Thos. Fuller, who came in 1638. He was ancestor of 
 Margaret Fuller (Ossoli). 
 
 Thomas Dean, son of Joseph, born 1664, lived at Concord

 In Danbury, Ct., in a chapter on early 
 
 the town, we find mention of the probating of the

 mentioned in the will. 
 
 nil Dean evidently came from Danbury to Cornwall by 
 
 \ T orwalk. Cornwall was founded b) a company 
 
 CO. men who bought a tract of land in 1740, and 
 
 Reuben Dean was an early purchaser from the 
 
 wmpany. In (lold's histon of Cornwall 1 1877) we find this:

 of the "train bands" or militia companies. Others of the vicin- 
 ity of Cornwall, with familiar family names, served in the war, 
 but we cannot tell who they were. 
 
 A glance at the family tree will show that the list we have 
 only accounts for our direct line which constitute not a tithe of 
 those of the name that must exist in this country. The list of 
 Deans we publish takes that from the N. E. Hist. & Gen. Reg- 
 ister as a basis with additions and corrections from various 
 published records. 
 
 William Dean, who came to Ohio, married Parthena Bailey, 
 concerning whose family we have few direct records. But by 
 piecing together family traditions and records with fragments 
 from published records of Sharon, Lebanon and Cornwall, Ct., 
 we have a list of names and dates, probably correct, far as it 
 goes. William Bailey, going with or possibly following part 
 of his family, moved from Sharon, Ct., directly or indirectly 
 to New York state somewhere. When an old man he once 
 came to Onio, bringing his daughter Hannah. She remained 
 in Ohio while he journeyed back to New York with a horse 
 and wasfon, which W niiam Dean, his son-in-law, bought him. 
 
 Philander Green (a grandson) says in his autobigraphy that 
 William Bailey married a Miss Hunt. That might have been 
 true, though his mother's name was also Hunt, if our record 
 is true. There was a Hunt family in Lebanon, Ct., a branch 
 of a large and very numerous family, among whom no doubt 
 the Baileys married for as early as 1730 there could not have 
 been many different families of the same name in the town. 
 
 Our William Bailey may possibly have been the William, 
 born 1736, son of Saxton Bailey, of the line of John of 
 Salisbury, weaver, who was shipwrecked off the coast of 
 Maine, 1635. Hannah Hunt, wife of Saxton Bailey, was 
 probably a decendent of Deac. Jonathan Hunt, of North- 
 ampton, Mass., and of Gov. John Webster, of Ct. (1656). 
 
 •We have no absolute proof of our Bailev ancestrv, DUt con- 
 siderable indirect evidence. 
 
 We are corresponding with people who we think can soon 
 give us the facts we need. 
 
 The history of the migration to Ohio we leave to another.

 BY H. S. DEAN. 
 
 The preceding narration left Reuben Dean in the town of

 to the east of Cornwall Bridge. Reuben Dean afterward 
 bought out to the river and built a grist mill on a little stream 
 falling into the Housatonic at Cornwall Bridge. In 1774 
 Reuben sold the half interest in the mill to his son Benjamin 
 for 7o£. In 1779 the two sold a half interest to Hezekiah 
 Carter for 2T,£ 10 s. Later it passed to William Dean. 
 
 Thus, around tnat mill and the hills back of it the family 
 life centered for two generations. 
 
 Upon no part of our genealogical line is there so much ob- 
 scurity as on the immediate family of Reuben Dean. 
 
 This is due to the migratory character of his earlier life, as 
 he was born at Pembroke, Mass., and resident at Danbury, Nor- 
 walk and Cornwall, Conn. We are not sure even of his wife's 
 name, though family tradition makes it Ann Carter. We are 
 in doubt whether the list of his children be complete, and dates 
 are largely lacking. 
 
 About a mile below the old mill, in a quiet cemeterv over- 
 looking the rushing Housatonic, close by the roadside, stands 
 a marble slab, with this simple inscription : 
 
 "IN MEMORY OF REUBEX DEAN. 
 
 HE DIED OCT. 11, 1790. 
 
 AE. 91 YEARS." 
 
 There is nothing to indicate whether or not his companion 
 sleeps beside him. 
 
 With the family of Benjamin Dean the darkness becomes 
 light once more. Adjoining Reuben Dean's lands on the hills 
 lay the farm of Thomas Tanner. Reuben Dean's Benjamin 
 and Thomas Tanner's Ruth grew up side by side. After the 
 manner of neighbor young men and maidens they loved and 
 were duly wedded, and their children's names will be found in 
 the genealogical table. 
 
 To the north of the old mill, perhaps eighty rods distant, on a 
 low hill in the valley, stands a well-preserved old house. In the 
 side of the stone chimney which projects scarcely two feet 
 above the ridge of the roof are cut the initials, "B. I).," and the 
 date, 1787. It is the oldest house in Cornwall, and is still 
 known as the old "Dean House," as the hill is still called 
 "Dean Hill." No spot on earth .ave "Dean Hill" in Canneld,

 ter of such historic interest to the descendants oi 
 William Dean. Benjamin and Ruth Dean passed 48 years of 
 married life in Cornwall, of which twenty-three were spent 
 in this house. Beyond all reasonable doubt, it was to this 
 house William Dean brought his Parthena in 1796, and there 
 they lived till 1810, when they left Cornwall for Canfield. 
 There were born Orpha and Hiram and Orsemus ami James 
 ami Benjamin, Jr., and Bailey. The reasons for -> believing 
 air many and conclusive. William Dean was the youngest ol 
 Benjamin's children, save Joseph. Joseph, according to all 
 tlu- famih traditions of him. was not the sort of person to 
 have the care of tlu- old people. \n existing memorandum* 
 shows that from 1786 to [806, Benjamin Dean was portioning 
 off his children in ^uiin of 35 to 1 i<> pounds. William is the 
 ne ii' it thus pi irtii med * iff. 
 
 sting legal papers show that Benjamin and William Dean 
 
 joined in the --alt' and purchase of land, and in [810 they came 
 
 to ' Ihio together; all of which goes to show that William Dean

 Before following Benjamin and William Dean to Ohio, it 
 be of interest to take a glance at the 1 ither children of Ben- 
 jamin. 
 
 At the time of the Revolution 1 nnecticut was alread} a 
 populous agricultural state. Emigration was setting in toward 
 the (ireen Mountain region so stronglv that when, in 1777, 
 Vermont framed her first constitution and made her first at- 
 tempt to enter the Union, it w a- a- the State of New G mnecti-

 with her son to North Royalton, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. She 
 became blind in her old age. She has descendants in and 
 around Cleveland, and in Canfield and vicinity. Rachel mar- 
 ried David Hayes, went to Bennington, Vt., and thence in 1812, 
 to Canfield, O., where she died of extreme old age, in 1845. 
 The Simmons Sackett, Dean Hays and John Flick families are 
 among her descendants. 
 
 Martha married Truman Parmley and left three children : 
 Augustus, Electa and Luanda, of whose descendants I have 
 no knowledge. Joseph removed to Ohio and has descendants 
 in Ashtabula county. He is supposed to have died in Medina 
 County.* 
 
 In 1796 William Dean was married to Parthena Bailey. 
 Concerninig her ancestry we have several clues, but little cer- 
 tain knowledge. She was born in Sharon, Conn., the town 
 adjoining Cornwall on the west and next to the New York 
 line. Her father was William Bailey, and her mother Hannah 
 (Hunt ?). Parthena had three sisters, (1) Belinda, who mar- 
 ried Alpheus Hitchcock, and lived across the line in New York. 
 He poisoned her and was hung for it; (2) Lucy, who was mar- 
 ried August 10, 1 8 10, to Samuel Green, of Litchfield county. 
 He was a widower with three sons, Alanson, William and 
 Almon B. ; (3) Hannah, who never married, but came to Ohio 
 prior to 1822, and passed her declining years with grandmother 
 Parthena. "Aunt" Hannah wasted away with a lingering con- 
 sumption, and died May, 1833. Parthena also had a half- 
 sister, Polly Bailey, who married, ( 1 ) Camp ; (2) Truman 
 
 Parmley. By the first marriage she had a son, Alanson, who 
 lived and died in Warren, O., where he has descendants. By 
 her second she had several children, Cyrus, Curtis, James, Ira, 
 Russell and Lucretia, all of whom except Cyrus, moved to 
 Wisconsin, and died several years since. t

 1111'. SECOND MIGRATION:— LIFE IX OHIO. 
 
 BY I:. S. DEAN. 
 
 We n<>w have no means of knowing the immediate causes 
 which led to the migration to ( >hio. In general, we know the 
 nomic conditions prevailing prior to the war <>t [812, 
 Thomas Jefferson's pet measures, The Embargo Act and the 
 Non-Intercourse Act bore with especial severity on New Eng- 
 land. Trade was prostrate and all business at a standstill. 
 Men with growing families were casting about fur means to 
 better their condition. A great tide of migration was setting 
 toward New Connecticut in Ohio. What fireside discussions 
 were held in the old house on the hill we can only imagine. A 
 journey of 500 miles in lumber wagons, largely through an 
 unbroken forest, was no holiday excursion. To people in their 
 prime like William and Parthena it might not seem so formid- 
 able. But Benjamin and Ruth were three score anil ten; and 
 besides, their r< >■ >t> had struck deep in the >< >il 1 if l a irnwall . and 
 it is hard to transplant an old tree. But the die was cast. 
 Legal documents, still extant, show that for some months prior 
 to the autumn of 1S10. Benjamin and William Dean were sev- 
 ering the property ties that hound them to Cornwall. Early in 
 itember they turned their faces toward the promised land of 
 1 'hio. The company numbered fifteen persons, hirst, as prime 
 movers in the enterprise, were William and Parthena Dean. 
 With them went the aged Benjamin and Ruth. Five children 
 of William, ranging in age from a few months to [3 years, 
 
 re in the company: < )rpha, Hiram, < Irsemus, Benjamin and 
 
 James had recently died (of small-pox, I think). In 
 
 addition to the Dean family, there were Samuel Green and his 
 
 new id wife. Lucy Bailey Green, together with Green's 
 
 hildren b\ his first wife. Alanson, William and Almon 1'.. A 
 
 young man named John Young made the fifteenth. 
 
 There were three main routes by which the early immigrants 
 
 lied < 'hio. ( in,- up tin- Potomac and down the Youghiog-

 those entering from Virginia. A second, followed by people 
 from Philadelphia and vicinity, was over the old Pennsylvania 
 military road to Pittsburg. A third was up the Mohawk and 
 along the shore of Lake Erie. This was the usual route of 
 New Englanders bound to the Western Reserve. I have 
 heard my father say they crossed the Hudson at Troy. Cousin 
 Jennie Turner remembers hearing aunt Orpha Sackett speak 
 of their passing Lake Chautauqua. A majority of the early set- 
 tlers came with ox teams and were six weeks on the way. The 
 Dean caravan came with horses and were four weeks on the 
 road, arriving in Canfield on the ioth of October. 
 
 The Deans were not the first Cornwall people in Canfield. 
 William Chidester, who married Martha Dean, daughter of 
 Thomas and cousin of William Dean, was one of the first set- 
 tlers in Canfield, arriving in 1802. Of their numerous family, 
 Royal, the youngest, was the first male child born in Canfield. 
 In 1809, the oldest son, Philo, returned on a visit to Cornwall. 
 His journey was made in twenty-three days. Mis? Eva Chid- 
 ester, of Canfield, has a letter from him to his parents, giving 
 an interesting account of his visit. He called on Benjamin 
 Dean and "Grandmother Dean," doubtless Olive Willoughby, 
 second wife of Thomas Dean. Others of the Dean family are 
 mentioned, but no allusion is made to any intended migration 
 of the Deans to Ohio. Did the visit of young Philo and his 
 reports concerning Ohio give William Dean the Ohio fever 
 and lead to his migration the next year ? It is possible. At all 
 events there were close business relations between the two fam- 
 ilies. Family tradition makes William Chidester the agent of 
 William Dean in the land contract. Under date of August 
 18, 1810, James Johnston, of Litchfield county, Conn., deeds to 
 Benjamin and William Dean lots 5 and 25 in Canfield, O., con- 
 taining 588 acres, together with 67 acres of lot 8. The price 
 was $2,673.80. Under the same date by separate deed he con- 
 veys to William Dean 100 acres of lot 8, for $500. The next 
 spring. May 11, 181 1, William Chidester conveys to Benjamin 
 and William Dean 1883-100 acres of lot 18 for $224. Lots 5 
 and 25 lie on the north side of the Palmyra road and include 
 present lands of Almus Beardsley, Munson Chidester and sev-

 17, 1813, little Benjamin succumbed to what was known as the 
 "army fever." Orsemus was so low with the fever at the time 
 that it was not expected he would be living when the family 
 returned from the funeral. On August 13, 1815, old Benjamin 
 followed his beloved Ruth ami lies beside her in the Center 
 cemetery. How long the family continued to live in the origi- 
 nal cabin on lot 18. is not known. From the record of deeds it 
 appears that in 18 14 William Dean was residing on lot 25. If 
 so, it must have been in a rude, temporary cabin, as the more 
 permanent home was not built till about 1818. Thus it was 
 in a pioneer cabin that old Benjamin and Ruth and little Ben- 
 jamin died, Orman and Belinda were born and Orpha was mar- 
 ried. I have heard my father say that the chamber was so open 
 that in winter mornings snow would often lie thick on the bed. 
 A more healthful sleeping room, after all, for growing boys 
 than our air-tight modern houses. 
 
 There are few more sightly and beautiful locations on the 
 Western Reserve than the crest of Dean Hill. There, about 
 the year 1818, William Dean built a commodious brick farm 
 house. It was, after the current fashion, an oblong structure 
 with four great chimneys and gable walls rising above the roof. 
 It stood until the early sixties, when Cousin Almus Beardsley 
 tore it down to make room for his present brick residence. 
 That old brick house became the center of a noble family life, 
 whose details, now lost, would fill a volume. Here in the 
 thirties, "Aunt Hannah" and Grandmother Parthena died. 
 Here Aunt Belinda was married and several of her children 
 were born. Here the second wife, Rebecca, and little Rachel 
 died; and here, in 1847, William Dean ended his pilgrimage. 
 Here, for a number of years, the little Canfield Baptist church 
 held its meetings.

 l ; r. >in the original church records \\<>\\ in my possession and 
 from A. S. Hayden's "Histon of the Disciples on the Western 
 Reserve," 1 glean the following facts: 
 
 Prior to 1822 there were several families of Baptists in the 
 neighborhood, with meetings at private houses. Finally, on

 sat "ii the council. Among the charter members, were David 
 Hayes, his wife. Rachel Dean Hayes, and Truman Parmley. 
 William and Parthena Dean, Myron and Orpha Dean Sackett, 
 already Baptists, do not seem to have been present. The rec- 
 ords arc fragmentary and incomplete; hut, first and last, con- 
 
 n the name-- of nearlx the entire Dean connection resident in 
 Canfield down to [865. For the first year the meetings were 
 held at the house "i" David Hayes; then, till about [828, in the 
 house of William Dean. In that year land was purchased of 
 William Dean and Harmon Benton for church purposes. There, 
 either a house of worship was built or an existing house turned 
 into <>ne. The frame meeting house that we older one-- remem- 
 ber so well was hiiili about [836. John Flick thinks il was the 
 year of the first "Yearh Meeting" in Canfield which was also 
 the year Parthena Dean died ( [836). By 1825 the powerful 
 writings of Alexander Campbell began to leaven the lit- 
 tle church. \ little later the masterful preaching of 
 Walter Scott increased the ferment. His first recorded 
 was in March, [828. Week after week for 
 man) month'- there was such a poring over their Bibles as 
 those pioneer farmers had never known. \-, a result, in |une, 
 1829, the church voted to lay aside the Baptisl nana' for the 
 name < hristian or Disciple* and in place of the Baptist articles 
 to take tin- Scriptures as their sole title of faith and practice.

 casional labors. The church continued its meetings regularly 
 until 1865, when death and removal had made such inroads on 
 its membership that they disbanded and united, some at Can- 
 field Center and some at North Jackson. 
 
 But to return to the thread of our story : In the early 
 autumn of 1836 Parthena Dean was stricken with erysipelas, 
 and after a brief illness passed away. The last week of August 
 one of the famous "Yearly Meetings" had been held in Canfield. 
 Among the numerous converts were Bailey and Belinda Dean, 
 the last of Parthena's flock to enter the Christian fold. I think 
 she was already stricken with her mortal illness ; and when the 
 word was brought to her the joy of her heart broke forth in the 
 words of old Simeon. "Now lettest thou thy servant depart in 
 peace." Within two weeks her prayer was fulfilled, and she 
 sleeps with old Benjamin and Ruth and little Benjamin and 
 Aunt Hannah Bailey in the Center cemetery. Hard by are 
 also the graves of little Tames and Parthena, children of Orse- 
 mus and Rhoda, who had died a few years before. 
 
 The old circle on the Hill was fast breaking up. One by one 
 Orpha and Hiram and Orsemus and Bailey and Orman had 
 gone out to found homes of their own. (July Belinda was left. 
 In his loneliness grandfather brought a new wife to the old 
 home, Mrs. Rebecca Mulner. She remained a few years and 
 passed away, leaving a baby Rebecca. And then, in his old age, 
 a third wife came to relieve the tedious hours ; and Belinda, 
 who had married, came back with her husband to care for her 
 father until he was called from his earthly toils. He died on 
 the seventeenth of March, 1847, aged 73 years, and rests just 
 across the way in the Hill cemetery beside his wife, Rebecca, 
 and their baby girl, Rachel. We have no portraits of William 
 and Parthena Dean, but have a fair knowledge of their general 
 appearance and character. William Dean was about six feet 
 in height and weighed about 180 pounds. He had grey eyes 
 and light brown hair. As an illustration of his strength it is told 
 that he could stand in a half bushel and shoulder a three bushel 
 bag of wheat. (He was a miller in Connecticut). His fine 
 constitution should have carried him to four score and five 
 vears. He died of pneumonia, caused by a chill after threshing.

 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF WILLIAM DEAN'S 
 
 CHILDREN. 
 
 ORPHA DEAN SACKETT. 
 
 The oldest and youngest of Parthena Dean's children were 
 girls with twenty years between their births. Owing to this 
 fact and the delicate health of the mother, much of the burden 
 of a large family "fell upon Orpha. Transplanted into frontier 
 life at thirteen, married at twenty, one would hardly look for 
 a finished education. But she was a woman of marked mental- 
 ity, and evidently made good use of her limited opportunities. 
 If I am correct in the chronology of events she did not remain 
 to enjoy the new home on the Hill. In the spring of 1817, she 
 was married to her neighbor, Myron Sackett, like her, a native 
 of Litchfield county. He was one of God's true noDiemen, one 
 of the best and most thoroughly balanced men, my father used 
 to say. that he ever knew. Both had been religiously reared, 
 he as a Congregationalist, she as a Baptist, though neither was 
 as yet a church member. After earnest and prayerful study of 
 the scriptures they became one in religious conviction and 
 identified themselves with the Baptists. This was in iSnj, two 
 years after their marriage and three years before the formal 
 organization of the Baptist church. Uncle Myron used to give 
 a humorous account of their religious experience. Pending the 
 decision of the question of church affiliation thev used to alter- 
 nate between the Congregational and Baptist meetings. On 
 special occasions they would go as occasion required. Once 
 there were special services at both places. As they mounted

 old ■'John" to start to meeting l'ncle Myron p; \ d to let the 
 horse choose which way he would go. He took the road to- 
 ward Dean Hill and the Baptisl meeting; and so, as I ncle 
 Myron said, old "John" made Baptists of them. Perhaps 
 Aunt ( >rpha gave him a sly nudge as he went out the gate. At 
 any rate she doubtless thought he showed good horse sense. 
 Myron Sackett became a pillar in the church and after the 
 ecclesiastical resolution of [829 he became an elder in the Con- 
 cation of Disciples, an office which he filled with honor 
 throughout his life. 
 
 The Sackett home, one mile wesl of Canfield, was a refined 
 and hospitable country home. \ numerous family, mostly 
 daughters, came to bless it. And seldom have parent- reared 
 noble a brood of daughters. \11 too soon the break came. 
 In 1849 Myron Sackett died from an attack of pneumonia. 
 n the dear old home passed into other hands, and Aunt 
 Orpha went to live, first with her daughter, Sarah Austin, at 
 Xewton Falls, and later with another daughter, Minerva Austin. 
 in Warren. She had been a woman of iron constitution and 
 large force of character. With these later years came leisure, 
 and opportunity for much reading, and she became well versed 
 in current and religious topics. Through the lengthening shad- 
 ows she lingered on, and not till [882, when in her 86th year, 
 did she exchange her pilgrim's staff for the victor's crown.

 or Boardman. Among the members of this excellent family 
 was the maiden Rheuby. She must have been a comely 
 maiden, and soon the bashful Hiram had won Rheuby's heart 
 and hand. Courtships were short affairs in those days, and 
 soon they had begun the serious business of home-making. 
 Their first cabin was erected on the northeast corner of the 
 Dean homestead. A few years later they removed to their life- 
 long home where their grandson, Munson Chidester now lives. 
 There, about 1850, they erected the comfortable farm house 
 still occupied by Cousin Munson. This was after the older 
 children, Austin, Mason and Priscilla were making homes of 
 their own. Uncle Hiram was a quiet man of few words, a 
 great homekeeper, rarely going away except to "mill and meet- 
 ing." The railroad did not come to Canfield till he was an old 
 man, and so far as I can learn, he never rode on it. As he 
 once said, he preferred to ride where he could hold the lines. 
 He knew little of the intense drive and ambition of modern 
 life; but he knew how to to plod, be frugal, be honest, pay his 
 debts, provide for his household and help support the church. 
 And in all the art and toil of home-making Aunt Rheuby bore 
 her full share, turning many a hard-earned shilling in her little 
 weaver's shop. Withal, she was a notable housekeeper, her 
 beds always sweet and clean and her cooking appetizing. Seven 
 children were born to them of whom two died in early child- 
 hood and one, Benjamin, gave his noble young life for his 
 country in the Civil War. For more than sixty years they 
 walked together in life's journey and rest together in the little 
 cemetery on the Hill within half a mile of the soot where their 
 wedded life began. 
 
 OR S EM US DEAN. 
 
 Among those occasionally attending the little church on the 
 Hill were members of the Hayden family, of Youngstown. 
 There were seven sons of Samuel Hayden, of whom the eldest 
 and youngest, William and Sutton, were well known ministers, 
 the latter being the first Principal of the Eclectic Institute, now

 Hiram* ollege. In [825 Orsemus wedded Rhoda, the only 
 
 ter in the Harden family, famed, in later years, far and near, 
 
 as were her brothers, for power of song. The day following the 
 
 wedding twenty-four couples on twelve horses escorted them to 
 
 .11 Ilill for the "infair." < >rsemus built a small brick house 
 where uncle Hiram afterward lived. In [829 he sold out ami 
 bought a larger farm in tin- extreme northwest part of Canfield 
 and over the town line in Ellsworth. There for •'!»'> years 
 they lived ami reared the largesl family with the most descend 
 ant> m the Dean connexion. < >f their thirteen children, nine 
 lived to marry, six are still living and seven have living de 
 ndants. In the fifties the older children began to go west 
 ward, and the year [865 found all the family in or near ('enter, 
 l\ ck county, Wis. There in [878 Rhoda ended her pilgrimage 
 and in [884 < >rsemus followed his beloved Rhoda. 
 
 About the year 1829 < >rsemus received a fall which disabled 
 him fur three years and weakened him for life. Yet, through- 
 out a long life, few men worked more hours or accomplished 
 larger results; and to his children it has always keen a marvel 
 how he reared so large a family on so poor a farm in so large 
 a measure of comfort. Both were enterprising and excellent 
 managers. Both knew how to economize in matters of mere 
 display that they might have to expend on the really vital 
 things, the intellectual and spiritual culture of their family. 
 All of their children had advantages of s ( ,mc education beyond 
 the countn school and seven of them became teachers. < >rse 
 nuts was one of the original subscribers to the Eclectic Institute 
 always, for a man of his means, a liberal supporter of 
 church and missionary work. That was a humble hut hospita- 
 ble home. At the great "Yearh Meeting" of [849 it gave 
 shelter am) free entertainment to more than too guests. It was 
 a religious home. Few people even of larger leisure and culture 
 knew their Bibles as did < >rsemu> and Rhoda Dean. No 
 stranger could pass a week within that circle without feeling 
 its spiritual uplift. Among the cherished memories of that 
 home-life is the one of the morning hour when each child read 
 his .■ ■ md mother led in song and father poured out his soul

 in simple heartfelt prayer. Over the unutterable desolation that 
 has fallen on that old home there seems still to brood the spirit 
 of a devotion that softens the heart and calms the soul in the 
 strenuous struggle of life. 
 
 WILLIAM BAILEY DEAN. 
 
 The subject of this sketch was the last of William Dean's 
 children born in Connecticut, and the last to pass away. At 
 the time of the removal to ( )hio he was a babe in his mother's 
 arms. He grew up tall and stately in form like the oaks of the 
 Ohio forests. 
 
 Among the early settlers on the Meander in Ellsworth, was 
 the family of Philip Diehl from Bedford county, Pa. In this 
 household of good German stock he found a true and faithful 
 companion for life, in the person of Phoebe Diehl. They began 
 life together in the northwest part of Ellsworth, and there, 
 within a stone's throw of the spring by which they built their 
 first cabin, they passed their lives peacefully together ; and 
 there, in the elegant farm mansion erected by his son. Ward 
 Dean, Uncle Bailey's life went quietly out in 1891. 
 
 Eleven years before his companion had grown weary with 
 life's pilgrimage and laid down its burdens. In the work of 
 carving out a home in the wilderness she had been a true yoke 
 fellow to him. Industrious, energetic, well versed in the hun- 
 dred little economies within and without the home, she con- 
 tributed materially to the competence which they came to en- 
 joy. She was kind to the sick and needy and on more than 
 one occasion she took the orphan to her home and heart. Hav- 
 ing but one child, on the death of William Dean's second wife, 
 Rebecca, Aunt Phoebe took baby Rebecca to her home, and 
 mothered her to womanhood. 
 
 Uncle Bailey, like Aunt Rheuby, loved to go visiting. Aunt 
 Phoebe, like Uncle Hiram, was a '"keeper at home." She used 
 to say if Bailey and Rheubv had got together they would have 
 gone all the time. 
 
 Bailey Dean was a striking figure among men. He stood 
 
- ,; MAN HISTORY. 
 
 over six feet in his stockings, erect at eighty, with dark eyes 
 that could flash at injustice, but that habitually kindled with 
 kindly humor, with a rich voice, melodious both in conversation 
 
 and m m-. I lY was a man of strong convictions, frank and fear- 
 - in their avowal, yet with such an unfailing humor that he 
 made no enemies. I lis religion was of a manly type and men 
 believed in him. lie was a charter member of the N'orth Jack- 
 son Christian church and an rider to the da) of his death, and 
 always liberal in its support. For a laboring man he was a 
 great reader of his Bible, of history and of religious literature. 
 In social qualities I have never known his superior. His com- 
 ing always lighted up the social circle and his visits never 
 ceased to be matters of fond anticipation and happy reminis- 
 cence. Mis life was spent within four miles of the ■ Id < >hio 
 homestead. In his declining years, from his pleasant room he 
 could look t«>ward the rising sun, over the valley to the Mill 
 where his boyhood was passed, where the old church stood and 
 where so many dear to his heart were sleeping. The end came 
 peacefully and almost without pain. < m the night of Inh 4. 
 1891, he retired in usual health and awoke — (// home. Me 
 sleeps at that Mecca of our familv, Dean Mill. 
 
 ORMAN DEAN. 
 
 Orman Dean was the first of the family horn in t Miio. 
 When a lad oi five years an accident nearly deprived him of the 
 use of his right arm. As he seemed unfitted for manual labor 
 it was decided to educate him for a doctor. At the age of 
 eighteen he began the stud) of medicine with the elder Dr. 
 Fowler, of Canfield. During the period of his medical studies 
 and for several wars afterward he taught school winters a 
 total of 1 1 terms. The first winter In- received $9.00 per mouth 
 and "boarded around." In the spring of 1834 he set out with 
 horse and saddle bags for western Ohio, then an almost un- 
 broken forest. There, near tin present city of Findlay, he 
 bought eight) acres of land, intending to combine farming 
 
LIFE IN OHIO. 27 
 
 with the practice of the medical art. Some scoundred stole his 
 horse and saddle. Cholera was epidemic in that section. He 
 became discouraged ; returned to Canfield on foot ; broke his 
 leg; married Nancy Williams in the spring of 1835 and settled 
 in Champion, where his son Walter was born. In 1838 he re- 
 moved to the fine farm in Lordstown, which continued to be 
 the scene of their united toils for more than fifty years. Here, 
 in the midst of the abundance which their toil and economy had 
 created, Orman Dean's life came to a close in 1889. 1* nac ' a 
 checkered and troubled beginning ; its end was peace. Aunt 
 Nancy survived him for seven years. She had borne her full 
 share in the business of building the home and rearing the 
 family. Quiet, even tempered, soothing, she served as an ex- 
 cellent oil to his somewhat impetuous nature. Lncle Orman 
 was a man of marked mentality, a great reader, with a reten- 
 tive memory and a capital faculty for telling what he knew. 
 He had a turn for debate and in his mature years was able to 
 hold his own with the boys in the neighborhood debating so- 
 cieties. He early became a member of the church on Dean 
 Hill. Later he united with the church in Lordstown and was 
 active in the public meetings and conscientious in its support 
 throughout his life. Orman and Nancy were not greatly given 
 to "gadding about." They made periodic visits to family con- 
 nections and were always "at home" to their friends. Between 
 Aunt Nancy's tempting array of "good things" and Uncle ( )r- 
 man's vivacious conversation it was always a capital place for 
 a dav's visit. 
 
 BELINDA DEAN AUSTIN. 
 
 Of all the children of William and Parthena Dean none were 
 more lovable than this, their youngest born. She did not 
 come into the household until a few months after Orpha had 
 left it to found a home of her own. She grew up tall, slender, 
 queenly in bearing with dark hair and large lustrous dark eyes. 
 As she was to marry a doctor she was given a better educa- 
 tion than the older members of the family. For some vears 
 
I>l \N HISTORY. 
 
 she attended Farmington Seminary and a Ladies' Seminary at 
 Libenville. Endowed with an active mind she made an ex- 
 cellent use <>t' her opportunities, acquiring unusual culture for 
 the times. In [840 she was married to Dr. Benajah Austin 
 and began her wedded life in Warren. Dr. Austin was a 
 man of fine intelligence, refined in nature and deeply religious; 
 but he lacked the physical vitality for large success! 
 \1»< mt [840 they bought the old Dean household and went to 
 care for grandfather Dean. The) remained for some years 
 after his death in [847, subsequently living in Braceville and 
 finally in Warren where the doctor died in 1S71 in his 58th 
 year. Never very strong, frequent severe illnesses undermined 
 her constitution, and she passed away in Canfield in [878. 
 From the time of her own birth in [817 her death was the 
 first break in the circle of six brothers and sisters. Aunt Be- 
 linda lacked the large force and practical energy of Aunt Or- 
 pha ; but few women surpassed her in a certain social charm. 
 To a deep religious nature she added a cheerfulness rising 
 almost into gayety which life's long discipline could not 
 quench. To die last she loved young people; and with beau- 
 tiful and tender affection they reciprocated the interest she felt 
 in them. Her ashes repose in the cemetery across the way

 REBl CCA />/ IV WILLIAMS. 
 
 Rebecca was the child of William Dean's old age, being 
 born Dec. 11. [841. Left motherless almost at birth, she found 
 home and motherly care with Uncle Bailey and Aunt Phoebe. 
 She L;rew up a bright, impulsive and somewhat erratic girl. 
 \t the earl) age of seventeen she was married to her neighb ir, 
 Ifenrv Williams. b\ whom sin- hail two children, a little girl 
 who died when hardly out of babyhood and a bov who grew 
 oung manhood, but is probably not living. Life did not 
 run smoothly with Henry and Rebecca and they separated.

 her she was in Denver, Col. She has probably been dead for 
 some vears. 
 
 SOME GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 
 DEANS. 
 
 The six Dean brothers and sisters were tall spare people, 
 Bailey being the tallest and Orsemus the shortest of the broth- 
 ers. In complexion Hiram and Orman most resembled their 
 father, both having grey eyes, Hiram having light brown hair, 
 ( )rman's hair being nearly black, thick and dark till his death. 
 The others resembled their mother, eyes and hair being dark 
 brown or black. In a certain sparkling social quality Bailey 
 and Belinda were most conspicuous, though all, save perhaps 
 Uncle Hiram, were good conversers. Orman was the most 
 variable in his moods, now on the mountain top, now inclined 
 to look on the dark side, or, as he used to say, to "get the 
 hypo." 
 
 In politics William Dean and his sons were old line Whigs ; 
 later they became Free Soil Democrats. After the organization 
 of that party in 1856 the brothers became staunch Republi- 
 cans. All of them were strong anti-slavery men. Two, at 
 least, of the family connection, Orsemus and Rhoda, took part 
 in a famous anti-slavery meeting. Rev. M. R. Robinson came 
 to Canfield to give an anti-slavery lecture and was treated by 
 roughs to a shower of rotten eggs, which his son warded off 
 with an umbrella. A crowd was waiting outside to give him 
 a coat of tar and feathers. A double circle of men and women 
 conducted him from the church to his carriage. The crowd 
 broke through the outer circle of men, but the circle of women 
 held together and the mob was cheated of their prey. 
 
 Never did a group of brothers and sisters get on more har- 
 moniously together. My father once said that he never had any 
 trouble with Hiram but once. Hiram wanted to pay him for 
 the use of his oxen and he wouldn't take pay. 
 
 In religious affiliations all were steadfast Disciples and the 
 
DE AN H 1STO R Y . 
 
 religious spirit has perpetuated itself to a remakable degree in 
 all branches of the family. This is especially noteworthy in 
 the famih of < (rsemus Dean, all of whose nine children and 
 twenty-two grandchildren became Disciples in their teens and 
 have been active Christian workers wherever they have re- 
 d. The brothers were not regarded as muscular or robust 
 men; but the} illustrate the fact that labor conduces to Ion 
 gevit\ when combined with temperance and a moral life. I he\ 
 attained the- ages respectively of So. S3, Si and 76. 
 
 More than thirty of William Dean's descendants, including 
 four of his children, have been teachers, some of them for 
 many years. While none of the family have risen to world- 
 wide eminence, it is a satisfaction to believe that l>r. Jackson 
 [Yuesdale, in one of his historical sketches of Early Canfield 
 History, wrote the simple truth: "Seldom have we families 
 vhere so many ( >t its members exercised so good and whole- 
 some an influence upon society as that of William Dean."

 BENJAMIN DEAN'S ACCOUNT WITH HIS CHILDREN. 
 
 The account is here reproduced, with fac simile of the heading. 
 Unless I have misread the figures, some of the columns are not footed 
 up correctly. The spelling suggests that our ancestors were disciples 
 of the "spelling reform." But that is a common feature of Colonial 
 letters and journals. Geo. Washington had a reputation in that respect.

 BY SECOND MARRIAGE. 
 
 Polly, m., 1st, - ■ Camp; 2nd. Truman Parmley in 1814. 
 Both removed to Canfield. O., and died in Berlin, O. By 
 
 Camp, Polly Bailey had one son, Alanson Camp, who 
 
 had a son William, who died recently in Warren, O.. and 
 a daughter, Nellie, m. George W. Pond, and resides with her 
 family in Warren. 
 
 William Bailey, (if the William b. 1736, son of Saxton 
 Bailey, found in Lebanon records), had Hannah Hunt as his 
 mother. Philander Green says William married a Hunt. He 
 lived in Sharon, Ct., which was settled by Lebanon and Col- 
 chester people, mostly. A number of the Hunt and Bailey fam- 
 ilies of Lebanon moved to Sharon. If son of Saxton, William 
 had sisters Hannah and Lucy as well as daughters with those 
 names. One son and probably another of Saxton were married 
 and perhaps lived in Sharon. Joseph, brother of Saxton, also 
 removed to Sharon and also two sons of Ebenezer Hunt, of 
 Lebanon, who may possibly have been brothers of Abigail and 
 
BO 
 
 HI AN HISTORY. 
 
 Hannah Hunt, who married [saac and Saxton Bailey, brothers. 
 There are two of those names, daughters of Ebenezer, unac- 
 counted for in the limn history, [864. Only Saxton Bailey, 
 Jr., oi the children of Saxton, is given in the Bailey history, 
 [899, though Hine's address, Lebanon, gives two sons and three 
 daughters, besides; and a descendant of Saxton, Jr., wrote me 
 that she understood that Saxton, h\. had several brothers. 
 
 Saxton Bailey and Hannah limit had, Hannah [732, Lucy 
 [734, William 1736, Amy 1738, Abner [740, Saxton, Jr. 1743, 
 (removed to Darien, \. Y., 1808), m. Lois Hunt. William 
 Baile) removed to New York somewhere, and visited < >hio, per- 
 haps in [812-15, or even later, bringing Hannah with him. She 
 remained the rest of her life and he returned alone, in a wagon. 
 Was it anywhere near Darien, east of Buffalo, on the line of 
 travel of the Connecticut emigrants, where Saxton, Jr., lived: 
 Our family tradition says that the Baileys were Welsh. De- 
 scendants of Saxton, Jr., have the same tradition, hut their own 
 published family history, does not hear that out. John, of 
 Salisbury, wrecked off the Maine coast [635, was from Chip- 
 penham, Eng. J. E. DEAN.

 It will be observed tbat Parthena Dean signed with her 
 mark. It is possible that she was ill and could not write. 
 Perhaps she never learned to write. Henry Adams, in his 
 History of United States, comments on the decline in learning 
 in New England during the later olonial and the Revolution- 
 ary period. In extant papers and in Cornwall Records, Ben- 
 jamin Dean signs with his mark. Reuben Dean, in an old 
 paper I have seen, printed his name. Northwest Connecticut 
 was a frontier settlement in the childhood of Benjamin Dean.
