From text on Eli Deen in the "History of Washington County"
"He is the son of Enos and Lucy Deen, the former a native
of Virginia, and the latter of Ohio. the father was reared on a farm
in his native State, and followed the vocation of a farmer. He moved
to Ohio, where he became acquainted with and was united in marriage
with Miss Lucy Fordice, the marriage being celebrated Dec. 27, 1827.
She was the daughter of Stanton Fordice, a native of Scotland, who
emigrated to America in the year 1801. He was in the War of 1812, and
therefore had only been a citizen of America eleven years when he was
called to defend her borders. He died in Illinois in 1840. Mrs. Deen,
the mother of our subject, was born in Morgan County, Ohio, March 14,
1809, and is now making her home with her son, Eli, and is a well-
preserved woman both in body and mind. Her father was a farmer in
Ohio. He improved a farm in that State and then removed to McLean
County, Ill., in 1850, and there bought 160 acres of land, which he
improved and made his home until the fall of 1852, when he removed to
Wapello County, Iowa, remaining there until the spring of 1853, when
he came to Lime Creek Township, Washington County, where he bought
220 acres of land, and was one of the first settlers in the township.
He will be well remembered by all old settlers in the county.

Mrs. Deen has lived to witness the many wonderful changes that have
been made in the county since her first arrival, and has shared the
sorrow and the pleasure of the people of Lime Creek Township for many
years. She was separated from her life companion Dec. 31, 1855. He
was a minister of the United Brethren Church, and was engaged in that
work for about fifteen years. While living in Illinois their house
was the home of all traveling ministers, and many were brought to see
the light and truth of the Gospel within their walls. Ten children
were born unto them: Nancy died and was buried in Ohio; Susanna was
the wife of George Phillips, and is deceased; James M. and John are
deceased; Lucinda, deceased, died about six weeks after her marriage;
Amanda M., deceased, was the wife of A. J. Treadwell; George died in
Illinois; Enos and Lucy both died in infancy; Eli, the subject of
this sketch is the only one living of the ten children. The mother,
now seventy-eight years of age, looks back over her life, and
notwithstanding the many sorrows that have come to her, still knows
that she has done her part in life, and now only awaits the call to
meet her loved ones on the other shore. She united with the Methodist
Episcopal Church in 1824, and has lived a faithful Christian life for
sixty-three years, and by her example many have been led to see the
way that leads to life everlasting."

-------------------------------------------
Enos fathered 17 or 18 children, 15 of whom lived to adulthood. He
buried 5 of his children in his lifetime, but saw the other 13 of
them grow to adulthood. He also saw the birth of between at least 11 to 14
grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Misc.:
William D. Allen Sr., Fri Oct 16, 1998, 12:02:52
Searching for DEAN/DEEN ancestors. They were Benjamin, James, Enoch and Enos. We know Benjamin arrived in Morgan County in 1818 after service in the Virginia militia during the Revolutionary War. We do not yet know if the four of them were related to each other. We know Enos was a cooper and lived in Northeastern Morgan County until he left for Illinois before 1850. Enos is my g-g-g-grandfather. Would be happy to correspond with anyone familiar with any of the above DEANS. Yours truly, Loydean Parra Allen P.S. I was named for my grandfather Lloyd DEAN.
