General Notes

[Lemasterlemasterholt.FTW]
This is definitely Lucy Ann Dean's father, as he was present to give his
consen t for her marriage to Richard LeMaster in 1851.  I have learned
from a genealog ist in the Chambers Co. area that the Dean family and the
LeMaster family were next door neighbors. Records of John Dean's death
can be found in the Beulah Pr imitive Baptist Church in Truop County,
Georgia.  The 1850 Chambers Co, Ala cen sus lists 3 slaves as part of
this household.

Yes I believe this to be my Lemaster family. Richard Lemaster married
Lucy Dean and had my great-grandmother Ann Cordelia LeMaster. Someone had
told me before that the Lemasters and Deans were next door neighbors. I
have a complete family tree posted on Ancestry.com and uploaded to the
Ancestry World Tree. To my knowledge, this is the best I could do on it.
The line goes back to France and the name was spelled LeMaistre then. You
can E-mail me directly if you like and we can talk more. SaraHolt8@@aol.com

roger,
This e-mail came to me back in February from Nancy Britton regarding the
Dean family.  Lucy Dean's youngest brother, James Ebenezer, was Mrs.
Britton's husband's great-grandfather.
Her notes say that Lucy, B. ca. 1833 married first Richard Lemaster in
1851, then Levi Moon.  In the 1850 census of Chambers Co., Ala., Lucy was
17 and still living in h er parent's household.  In 1860, she is still
there.  In 1870 she is still in her mother's household as Lucy LeMaster
with daughter, Cordelia, age 12.  If Cordelia was 12 in 1870, why wasn't
she in the 1860 census?  In 1880, living next door to mother, Mary Dean,
Lucy is in the household of her husband, Levi Moon.  Also in that
household is their son, Perry, age 23.  (I don't think Perry Moon came to
Texas with them).
Living with Mary Dean, Widow, age 72, in 1880 was James Ebenezer, age 30,
with wife Sallie, 20, and baby son, Elliott, age.  Sallie was Sallie
Fannie Watley, who lived on until 1948.
She states she thinks John Dean was somewhat prosperous before the Civil
War - his tax assessment in 1860 was $1,500 real estate and $4,500
personal property.  The latter sum included 6 slaves.  She goes on to
give me a list of the Dean Childrren's names.  If interested, I can send
this info to her.
Another note: A John L. Dean married Rosannah Love, 9 Dec, 1849 and
Richard Lemaster was the 2nd Bondsman (Chambers Co.)  I think this John
L. was probably a relative of our John Dean.
In 1850 Chambers Co., census, Nancy, age 63 b. SC was in the household of
John and Mary Dean and could be either John or Mary's mother.
She sent me the names of some of the cemetaries in Chambers Co., and the
Dean family members who are buried there.
