Married Nathan Dean on 17 Feb 1822 Rutland Co VT.
A GOLDEN WEDDING OUT WEST--From the Jacksonville, Mich. Citizen, we learn of the long continued welfare of an old couple, who were formerly resident in Pittsford, in this county, and now living at Parma, Michigan, where they celebrated their golden wedding, February 17th. These are Nathan Dean and his wife, formerly Triphena Smith, sister of Orlin Smith, Mrs. Bradley Burditt and Mrs. German Hendee, now living in Pittsford. On the occasion referred to, the children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors, assembled at the residence of Mr. Dean, and the pastor, Rev. J. H. Ross, in behalf of all the children, presented Mr. Dean with a substantial gold headed cane, and Mrs. Dean with an elegant gold watch. Father Dean then accepted the presents, and proceeded to give a condensed statement of some of the incidents connected with his past life. He stated that after keeping shanty alone one summer, in the thick woods of Depeyster, St. Lawrence county, N. Y., where he had moved from Pittsford, he started for Vermont to marry his wife, on foot and alone, two hundred miles, with his pack containing clothing etc., on his back. Returning after a few months, they started life in the shanty, and proceeded to convert the trees of the surrounding forest into a more substantial and comfortable abode. Here they resided about twelve years, and in the meantime he was appointed captain of a company of militia, and trained as only those wild woods boys knew how to train, with the help of the spirit and some of the fire of their old revolutionary fathers, to say nothing of any other spirits. About this time they embraced religion, were converted and joined the Methodist church. Immediately after his conversion, he resigned his commission as captain, and in a few years removed to Michigan, settled in the year 1835 in the township of Sandstone, Jackson county, near the village of Parma. Here he again found himself in the woods having located his land at a government price, and again in a shanty. Here, surrounded with the influences of religion and civilization, the children have grown and settled about him--all still living but one, and all married.
