1897 October. John Ward Dean, editor of the Register, states "when Mr.
Dean sent me the will of William Deane of Southchard here printed I
found that apparently John Strong married a sister of John and Walter
Deane and so was a brother-in-law to both of them. When a year or two
ago I received the will of William Cogan of Southchard which follows
this article, I found that Cogan calls Eleanor, wife of Walter Deane
of New England, his daughter. This led me to believe that the Miss
Strong who married a Dean in New England was Alice, wife of John Dean.
It is however, possible that she was another wife of Walter Deane"
(Register, 51 [1897]:434).

Notes: Walter Dean, son of William Dean, of the parish of Chard,
Somersetshire, England, with his wife, his brother John and the
latter's wife Alice, came to New England, tarried perhaps for a time
at Dorchester, and in 1637 went to Cohannet, now Taunton, of which
town the brothers were both original purchasers, taking up farms on
the west bank of Taunton Great River. Both became men of prominence.
Walter was selectman for some twenty years, representative in the
General Court, and a deacon in the church.

! Birth: (1) Child of John STRONG of Chard, Somerset, England, unborn
at the time of his father's will, proved 22 Sep 1612.
Marriage to John DEANE? (1b) On 26 May 1777, Gov. Caleb STRONG stated
that a sister of Elder John STRONG came with him from England and
afterwards married a person by the name of DEAN. (1c) Perhaps Alice,
wife of John DEAN. It is possible, however, that she was a second wife
of Walter DEANE. (NOTE: If she was 2nd wife of Walter DEANE, she would
have had to have married him after 1693, making her over 80 years old,
or if she was his 1st wife, she died before 1654, when Eleanor COGAN
was known to have been wife of Walter DEANE.)"
