Notes for Benjamin Deen
7
Benjamin states he was born in Virginia which would confirm his birth before 1818, and could have been as early as 1814. He attended school as a child in Coshocton, Ohio and could read and write. He seems to have left Mary Ann during the Civil War and began a family with a younger neighbor, a seamstress also named Mary.

Evidence suggests Benjamin left Mary Ann for another woman, also named Mary, around the time Perry Newton Deen was born. Mary Ann returned to Indiana while Benjamin and Mary moved to Illinois with their son Wesley. They had three more children, Charles, Joseph and Minnie and ultimately settled in Missouri, where Benjamin lived to be over 86 years old.
