Hi Darwina, I'm sorry I didn't get right back to you....been away from my computer for a few days. As far as I can tell, Asahel and Zebulon Deans were brothers who married Crocker sisters. I am a descendant of Zebulon...he would of been my 5th great grandfather...his son John F. Deans that married Eleanor Sterling would of been my 4th great grandfather. I've been able to find loads of information on Zebulon's line...but not that much...yet on Asahel's line...though I did find him in an earlier census record. Let me get together what I have for you and I'll be more than happy to email it to you. But I'm about to work on Asahel's line a bit and I'll be sure to let you know what I can find. I believe Asahel's line were at one time in Pennsylvania, very early on...but I believe most of his line were in the New York area. I found SOME of his children...but I know there were probably a couple more. I do have the full subscription to Ancestry.com; which has been a big help. And another thing that I've found is that in some cases, the "S" has been dropped off of Deans. But I'll be sure to keep you in the loop of anything new I can find. I did find a few things on Asahel's line a few months ago...but I had a computer crash and lost some of it. I'm in the process of gathering the information I lost. It's a slow process, but I'll have it all back together in a couple of weeks. Feel free to email me anytime: karilps@verizon.net
