Richard Dean, born in Virginia about 1755, married Frances Slaughter (1755-1838) in Granville Co. NC in 1781. According to on-line sources, she was the daughter of Jacob Schlotterer and Delainie Stolles.

Richard and Frances were the parents of Daniel Dean (1784-1868), who married Elizabeth Carnal (1790-1882), daughter of Moses and Margaret Carnal.

My information on this family comes primarily from the Gray/Wiggs/Dean Family Tree site listed below.

Some on-line trees list another son, Alfred Dean (ca. 1852-1879) but this child does not appear with Moses and Lucinda in either the 1860 or 1870 census records.
