• Notes

  Joel worked as an iron monger at Attleboro and at Ashford, Conn. During the Revolution he served in Col. Increase Mosley’s Detachment, Conn. Militia, Capt. John Ensign’s Company, for 2 months, July and Aug. of 1778. Muster Roll of White Plains, July 23, 1778 “On Comand to West Point” and Fort Arnold, Aug. 8, 1778. Yhe First Census (1790) finds Joel Dean in Wilbraham, further west in Massachusetts. From this city near Springfield, a number of Deans headed by Ezra, Joel’s brother, responded to Gov.Simco’s Proclamation to Americans to settle in Ontario. But no grant was made to Ezra, Joel helped his family to come to Port Hope area in Hamilton Township, Northumberland Co., Ontario, although he did not sell his property in Wilbraham for many years. Hannah’s father, Benjamin Weston, was the son of Edmund Weston II and Rebecca Soule. They were married Dec. 13, 1688. Rebecca was the daughter of John Soule and Rebecca Simmons and John’s father was George Soule, a Mayflower passenber in 1620 to found Plymouth Colony. Trrough this relationship we can all say, “One of our ancestors came on the Mayflower.”
