Desperately Seeking Information

Surnames: Drayton, Dean
I am looking for some clues on my ancestry. I am looking for a Husband and Wife Drayton that lived in South Carolina but were originally from Ireland. They would have left out of South Carolina somewhere around 1811 or 1812 with a wagon train. The headmaster of the train's last name would have been Dean. Sometime during the travel an epidemic of yellow fever or typhoid would have broken out and the Drayton parents would have died but their infant son Charles Drayton lived. He was informally adopted by the Headmaster Dean. The first acount I can find of Charles Drayton (Dean) is in 1850 in Alabama. Please help!
