  Note	Family: I have placed her as the daughter or Dr. Josiah Deane/Dean of Upton and Abigail Richards of Dedham for the following reasons: (1) None of the births of their children are recorded in the town records of Upton, Dedham, Grafton, Mendon, Norton, Northbridge, Taunton, Uxbridge, Hopkinton, Milford, or Westborough MA. Although there are many more towns which could be checked, these are the towns associated with the two respective families. I must, however, check Rowley again to be sure. (2) Marriage of Josiah and Abigail: intentions posted in Upton, performed in Dedham. (3) Deaths of Josiah, Abigail, and at least one of their children are recorded in Upton. (4) Abigail Richards' given name; Abigail Deane Nelson was probably the oldest child. (5) The Taunton branch of the Deane/Dean family tends to use the 'e' whereas the Dedham branch does not. This is a matter of signatures, not the whim of the recording clerk, although the clerks have confused the issue. I will be consistent in the use of the 'e' in following the Deane family.
