Luke Dean, son of James and Abigail (Barker) Dean, was born June 17, 1789 in Marlborough, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire. His grandfather, William Barker, was the first settler in Marlborough. In Sept. 1814 Luke served in the military during the War of 1812. His brother, John Dean, served from April 1813 to April 1814 as a fifer. On Jan. 12, 1815, Luke married Mary A. Thomas in Pittsford, Rutland Co., Vermont. They had four children born here: Mary Adeline, William Franklin, Mason Stillman, and Zebina Thomas Dean. Their fifth child, James Alexander Dean was born in Hubbardton, Vermont, just west of Pittsford..

Sometime between 1820 and 1827, Luke Dean's family, along with his mother and most of his siblings, moved from Pittsford, Vermont to De Peyster, St. Lawrence Co., New York. De Peyster was first settled in Nov. 1802. The first town meeting was held on May 3, 1825. Here it was voted on to raise a subscription for a town house and church, and a committee of three, consisting of Smith Stilwell, Nathan Dean (Luke's brother), and Phipo Hurlvert. On Oct. 23, 1827, Luke Dean, along with others, was named as the first trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church of De Peyster. .

In 1850 we find Luke Dean and his wife living in Lisbon, St. Lawrence Co., New York. The census record lists his occupation as "Methodist Episcopal clergyman". Luke's son, Dr. William Franklin Dean is living with his wife and three children in Milan, Erie, Ohio in 1850. The census record lists his occupation as "Physician". Also living with Dr. William Dean are his two brothers, M. S. Dean, and Z. Thomas Dean. The record lists the occupation of M.S. Dean as "Dentist" and that of Z. Thomas Dean as "Physician". In 1875 M. S. Dean took a trip to Europe. On his passport, it listed him as about 5 foot seven with light, sandy hair and blue eyes. This is the same year that his brother, Rev. James Alexander Dean, applied for a passport to visit several European countries, so it is reasonable to assume that they travelled together. James was also listed as being 5 foot six inches with greyish blue eyes and sandy hair..

Luke Dean died in 1874 at the age of 85. According to one descendant, Luke and his wife, Mary, are buried in Mystic, Connecticut. PDL 2010.

Information from "History of St. Lawrence Co., New York" and "Roster War 1812-1814". PDL 2010

He is buried in Elm Grove according to Hale Cemetery Records.
