Individual Details

1840 Census. Jefferson Co TN
John Dean/Doan: 1m 10-15, 1m 20-30, 1m 60-70. 2f 20-30, 1f 50-60
Note: John's father Jesse had already died so this is a bit puzzling - unless the older folks are perhaps his wife's parents. It's not certain he was married by 1840, but it is possible.
