Louis or Lewis - born between 1814 and 1816

Don't have exact prove on parentage of Lewis Deen, but he is the best
candidate for the middle son of James and Ann Deen. He moved with
Jesse C. to Hocking County, Ohio in the mid-1840s, around the time
Enos moved to Illinois.

Comparison of census data to ages of children would suggest at least
6 children born to this marriage: 2 sons and 4 daughters.

"Hi Anthony, I am not going to be a great deal of help here, My Jesse
C. Dean and Martha Slater were
supposedly both born in Ohio, they married in 1840 in Morgan Co. Ohio
and supposedly again both buried in Hocking Co. Ohio, I have a write
up from a newspaper clipping on Martha as
well as a death certificate that says she was buried at Groves or
Grover Cemetery at Nelsonville, Ohio.

Now in the 1880 Hocking Co, Starr township, Ohio census , lists Jesse
Deen 63? married and a farmer, born in Ohio and both parents born in
Va. Martha his wife is age 61 keeping house, born Ohio and parents
both born Va. The only listed child at this census is Isabell age 23
born Ohio and single.

Other Deen persons listed on the same census is a Michael Sanner age
61 and this is the father to son named Edward W. Sanner ,
who married Isabell Deen listed above.
Other Deen head of households are Lewis maybe a brother to
Jesse, Wesley , and James .

The names listed as their childrens married names may be spelled
other ways, like Atkisson, Atkinson ??, Dean, Deen, Sanner, Sonner,
Samer??

Will be looking forward to hearing from you again and if I should
find something more I will be sure to write you. Thank you ever so
much for this information as I am sure you are on the right track,
and will welcome any information on any of the names and can see if
we are related. I went into Deen, Dean
because I wasn't having any luck finding more Slater info. to put
them 1 more generation back. Ha. Thanks again. Sue Ren"
