Yes, you should be advised of a Deese website. Please ask this man to invite you to his site. The lineage is amazing. My g-g grandmother was Julia Frances Deese Killough of Indian Trail, NC. Through him, I was able to trace all the way back to Scotland. AND, most importantly, he is a very brillant man and very kind. His database is extensive and professional. I will send you his email to contact him and ask him if you may join by providing what information you have on your line to the database, BUT I bet he already has your Deese. I asked him about the Deese of Chesterfield Co., SC and he already has them. He has plotted the entire US by four or five branches of the Deese family. It is great.
Sincerely,
Julie

P.S. Are you saying that your Katie is a descendent of my Pleasant Deese in my Arant Ledger 1805-1890 ledger????
