Hello, Sharon,
I, too, am descended from the Deams. My mother was Phyllis Deam Everett, her father Phillip Paris Deam (m. Louella Wladrip), his father, Andrew Daniel Deam (m. Maude Esther Flavell), and his father Andrew Deam (m. Mary Susan Holder).
Our Deams lived in Alvarado, Texas. My grandfather moved his family to Dallas.
Don't know if I can answer questions for you, but just wanted to say hello, cousin!
Penny Everett
