"John1 Deane or Dean, born presumably at Chard, co. Somerset, England, before 1612, possibly ca. 1602-03, died at Taunton, Mass., between 25 Apr. 1660 (date of will) and 7 June 1660 (date of probation); married Alice _____, who survived him and died about 1677. With his brother Walter he came to New England about 1637, and after about a year in Dorchester, Mass., came with others to Taunton, Mass. In the list of freemen admitted in Plymouth Colony, 4 Dec. 1638, the names of John Strong, John Deane and Walter Deane are entered consecutively and in that order. He became a recognized leader in church and town affairs, filling various offices such as constable, surveyor of highways, and selectman. His homestead was on the river bank.
The will of John Deane, dated 25 Apr. 1660, proved 7 June 1660, mentioned wife Alice; oldest son John; second son Thomas; third son Israel; two young sons, Isaac and Nathaniel; and daughter Elizabeth."
