Tony, ...Do you know if anyone ever established if Zeke Dean and Alcy
Dean who married Abraham Carmack were brother and sister? I have never
seen
anything solid on who their parents might be. I have assumed that Zeke
and
Alcy were related in some way because the general areas that they lived
and
the naming of their children after each other. Does anyone have any
theories? I have not really done any research myself. ...Kim

Kim, Tony, and List:
May I get in this discussion re Ezekiel Dean? According to the "My
Kinfolks..." web page that Tony mentioned, Ezekiel Dean was b. 10 March
1829 in TN, s/o John Dean and Mary Carmack. (I had previously been
told that a John Dean m. Mary (Crank?). It's easy to see how the name
Crank could be Carmack.) I am trying to match that information with
census records. Were there two Ezekiel Deans? Or is there an error in
the ages listed? Maybe someone can help me get my records straightened
out.
From Lee Co, VA message board 28 Sept 2003:
Subject: Thomas Dean Query
The Thomas G. Dean family was found only in the 1850 census records. An
LDS Family Search online, NC, Va. did not find him.
1850 Lee Co., Va. census: Thomas G. Dean, 46, NC, Jane 20, NC (2nd wife
or dau.?) children, b. Va, Ezekiel 14, Thomas B. D. ?, 12, Nancy 8,
and William R. 1. (From) Ed Cress, Oak Ridge, Tn., Corresponding
Secretary, Lee Co., Hist. and Gen. Society
MY NOTE: This Ezekiel Dean (age 14 in 1850) agrees with the age of the
Ezekiel in Owsley Co. (age 44 in 1880). Assuming that the family above
is the family of Alsie Ann Dean, she was already married to Abraham
Carmack and is listed in the 1850 Claiborne Co, TN census, age 23, b.
North Carolina. This birth place is consistent with the the birth
place of Thomas G. Dean and Jane Dean in the census above.
1880 BUFFALO, OWSLEY CO, KY
Ezekiel Dean, age 44, b. VA-VA-VA
Kizzie Dean, age 41, KY-KY-KY
John Dean, age 17, KY-VA-KY (all children are KY-VA-KY)
Mary Dean, age 15,
Alcy A. Dean, age 13
James Dean, age 10
Brison Dean, age 8
Nancy M. Dean, age 6
Jessie Dean (son), age 3
George Dean
Note that the oldest son was named John and the oldest daughter was
named Mary (for Ezekiel's parents??). However, I believe that Kisiah's
mother was named Mary also. But note that they named a daughter Alcy A.
Dean. This suggests to me that she was named for Ezekiel's sister Alsie
Ann (Dean) Carmack.
Any help will be appreciated. --Gail (Dean) Carmack
