Johnson, wife of William Dean 3 Sep 1860 7 Jul 1950 From: Ken and Laurie Huffman [khlh@cox.net]Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2003 10:28 AMTo: DDONALD19@aol.comSubject: RE: Brown County (1870 Census Index) Reggie, I checked the burial records. The Deans owned the property that the Linn cemetery is on and a descendant owned the property as late as 1959. John and Elizabeth do not appear in the burial listings for that cemetery, however, it was poorly kept and their grave stone, if they had them, were lost. They must have died between 1870 and 1880, if they are there. Otherwise they moved on leaving the property to their son John/William. The name confusion is caused by the fact that he appears as John in the 18870 and 1880 censuses but as William M. in the Cemeteries book. And there is pretty strong circumstantial evidence that he is the same person of both names. The Linn Cemetery is located in the NE ¼ of the NW ¼ of section 4 in Buckhorn Twp. The Deans bought the property on 26 Sep 1868. So they show up nicely in the 1870 Census. John/William is the only one by that surname in the Brown County1880 Census with his wife Nancy and brother James. from Del Whiteside: Yes, but not his legal name, it was ....William Mellor Dean, He chose to be called John, the same as his dad's.You see, this is the way it goes: John Dean (Nancy Jane's husband's father, Old John. b.1824 in Keele, Staffordshire, Eng.,d. 1896 in Brown Co. also. Well he married Mary Elizabeth Peak b. 1817 in Keele, d. 1877 in Buckhorn Twnsp, Brown Co. Illinois. Anyhoo, they had 5 children: Henry, 1845 - 1923 born in Eng, died in Neligh, Neb; Martha, my grandma, 1846- 1919, born in Eng, d. in Brown; James Hewitt and Mary, no dates on them; William Mellor, 1858-1935, b. in Wisconsin, d.Mt.
