QuakerDeans

It is not known if Frederick & Frances Dean were Quakers when they arrived in America in approximately 1760, settling in what became Guilford County in 1771. What we do know is that several of their children were Quakers, and they and some of their descendants are buried in Quaker Cemeteries.

According to cousin John Rhodes, the early Dean family was affiliated with the Reedy Fork
Creek Meeting. John is the family historian responsible for uncovering the Ouaker link,
to our Dean family. John has traveled to a number of the Quaker Cemeteries and
photographed Quaker cemetery markers, some of which are on the
CEMETERY MARKERS pages.
Thanks John!!
