I have the Barbour vital record volumes for Woodstock and Ashford, CT, but Joseph DEAN or
DEANS or Lucy CHAFFEE are not listed in either place. However, I would explore some of
the Ashford families, because it appears some of them may have migrated from Ashford to
Woodstock. Barbour also lists four varient spellings of the surname -- Dean, Deans,
Danes, and Deen, so you may want to search these alternates.
You may want to look on the free WorldConnect & Ancestry free shared database.
Someone there identifies the parents of Lucy CHAFFEE as Samuel Chaffee b. 9 Jun 1760 in
Woodstock, CT and Azubah SANGER born 3 Sept 1760. Samuel's father Ebenezer CHAFFEE
was identified as of Swansea, Bristol, MA.
Try the CHAFFEE genealogy for possible identification of Joseph DEAN. Perhaps if you post
to the CHAFFEE list, someone might do a lookup for you.
