Subject: [GAPAULDI] Elijah W. DEAN, 1861
Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2000 15:02:42 EST


Looking for my brick wall, Elijah Loushious DEAN b. 11-15-1819 probably
Gwinette Co, GA. d. 3-19-1907 Cherokee Co, GA. married Eliza L. FOWLER b.
4-7-1825 S.C. d. 7-9-1904 Cherokee Co, GA. They are both buried at Enon
Cemetery in Cherokee Co, GA.. They had 10 children that I know of from Cobb
Co, GA and Cherokee Co, GA census records:

Cornelius Thompsonb. ca 1843 d. during a battle in the Civil War
John M. b. ca 1845 d. 1863
Susan "Susannah" M. b. ca 1848 m. ? ABBOT
Jane "Jennie" E. b. ca 1851 m. ? SAYE
Luvena A. b. ca 1854 GA m. ? HILL
Mary E. b. ca 1856 GA m. ? SPEARS
Harriet b. ca 1859 m. Amos BRASELTON 11-12-1896 Cobb Co, Ga. Amos
BRASELTON died in 1888 and is buried at Hickory Flat Cem/Cherokee Co, GA.
Harriet remarried ? STANLEY
Elijah W., Dr. b. ca 1861 GA m. Carrie GRAY May 1844 Paulding Co, GA
Stephen A. b. ca 1861 GA
Dialpha b. CA 1863 GA m. ? BENSON

*All the girls, Dr. Elijah W. Dean and parents, Elijah L. and Eliza DEAN,
were still living at the time that "Memoirs of Georgia, V. II" was compiled
in 1895.

According to this source, the father of Elijah L. DEAN was born in VA. He
would have died about 1829 somewhere in GA...my guess is Cherokee or Gwinette
Co, GA. Elijah L. DEAN was orphaned at the age of 10 and was raised by an
uncle. The family moved to Cherokee Co., GA in 1830. Who is the uncle???????

Tamie (Clark) Tanner
Jackson, GA

Boring, Boseley, Brazelton, Candler, Clark, Cox, Dean, Fowler, Frizzell,
Gardner, Howard, Johnson, McTyre, Pruett, Saye...and the list keeps growing.
