John married Alice. Alice died about 1677. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She was not Alice Strong. Eleanor Strong married John Deane's brother Walter Dean.

Notes:

At Lynn in 1651; of Braintree, 1652, and settled the same year in Taunton. At each of these places he and his brother Henry established forges, the first in Plymouth colony.

He was survived by a wife, Margaret, who was not the mother of his children.

On 2 Feb 1733, Hannah (Leonard) Deane, a daughter of James Leonard and the wife of Isaac Deane (d. 1710), wrote down an account of several generations of her family, which she gave to her great-newphew Zephaniah Leonard (Stephen³, James², James¹) (1704-1776). An abstract of Hannah (Leonard) Deane's account was published in the The New England Historical and Genealogical Register in 1853 ("Brief Memoirs", citation details below). Pertinent portions of the abstract are shown below:

1st. Namely her Great Grandfather's name was Henry Leonard
2nd. Her own Grandfather's name was Thomas Leonard
3rd. Her Father's name was James Leonard
Her Grandmother's name was White
Her Mother's name was Martin

James married Jane Martin. Jane died on 25 Feb 1664 in Taunton, Bristol, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: 25 Feb 1674, Raynham, Bristol, Massachusetts

Notes:

Said variously to have been named Mary, Hannah, or Mary Jane. The record of her son Thomas's 1641 baptism at Kinver calls her Jane.

Notes:

Said by some to have been "of Pontypool, Wales" and by others to have been of Bilston, Staffordshire. He appears to have been involved in the early iron refining industry; he may have lived at both places at one time or another. He was not in any way "one of the last of the 13 children of Sampson Leonard and Margaret Fiennes, Baroness Dacre, of Knol in Kent and Herstmonceux in East Sussex", as asserted on his Find a Grave page; that chestnut was debunked decades ago. There is also no evidence of his birth and death dates, nor any indication that he ever came to New England.

An internet source cited in Ancestral Lines (citation details below) claims that he was christened at Chevening, Kent on 23 May 1577.

Thomas married Elizabeth White. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She is named Elizabeth in the record of her daughter Margery's baptism.

Notes:

John Brooks Threlfall (citation details below) says he was probably a grandson of John Deane and Joan Selwood, a daughter of Nicholas Selwood of Chard who died between 29 May 1494 and 22 Jun 1494.

Walter married Joan Walsele on 11 Nov 1565 in Buckland St. Mary, Somerset, England. Joan died between 29 Mar 1597 and 10 May 1597 in Southchard, Chard, Somerset, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
