Biography

Deacon Ezra Dean was born on 14 October 1680 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. He and Abigail Leonard were married in 1705 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. He and Abigail Brintnell were married about 1726. He died on 1 July 1737 at age 56 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.

Deacon Ezra Dean and Abigail Leonard were married in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. They had 15 children, including a Seth b. 1722.

Check this all out. Some list Abigail Britnoll or Bretnell as wife. Abigail Leonard may have been married to him first, with her dying in 1726. This leaves possibility of several more children, including George Dean, born 1728 in Taunton, William Dean, born 1731 in Taunton, married Lydia Leonard, and Elisha Dean, born 19 September 1737 in Taunton. There is the possibility some names and dates are mixed up, particularly concerning Abigail Leonard/Britnoll.

When Samuel Britnall died in 1735, will dtd 1733, his daughter Abigail is listed as married to Ezra Dean.

The Deans and Leonards intermarried in later generations, and therefore it's worth straightening and including the Dean family genealogy.
