Person:Deborah Mead (1)

• Birth and death dates are an estimate based on husband Seely's birth and the birth of her last child Chauncey.

Not much is known about Deborah Ann Mead despite nearly a century of investigation. Speculation about the location of her early years has ranged from Connecticut, to Port Jervis, NY to Kingston, NY. All may be correct since there was much upheaval during the years of the Revolution (birth Connecticut, move to NY State and Port Jervis, move to Kingston, NY) It is almost certain that she and Seely became acquainted at some point in the lower Hudson River Valley area, probably near Fishkill, Dutchess County, NY.
