Luke was the son of Joseph Dean of Dedham, Mass. He was married (intention recorded 16 Aug 1771) to Rebecca RUSSELL, probably the daughter of John Russell, Jr. and Elizabeth Colburn. Luke and Rebecca named one of their eleven children Colburn Dean. Luke was a Revolutionary War soldier, and involved in several engagements. The declaration of independence written by the town of Dedham says that Luke Dean was one of several soldiers who did guard duty around Dedham for 28 days. Dean appears as a resident of Dover, MA in 1779, and is there on the 1800 and 1810 censuses, and it appears his wife is with him during both enumerations.
