It’s Family Time~Stephen Deese

Never have I found so little information as I have on my 3rd Great Grandparents; the parents of  Samuel Deese born about 1805. The consensus of most researchers is that Stephen Deese is the father of Samuel Deese and that Stephen's wife is unknown. 

But to tell you the truth from my point of view there seems to be a lot of speculation. I have found Stephen Deese in two census; the 1830 Robeson County, NC Census and the 1840 Anson County census.^{1 2}

Thanks to my friend and fellow researcher Julie Hampton we do have a date of Death for Stephen Deese even though almost every tree on Ancestry is WRONG and shows that he died in 1845. 

Stephen Deese actual date of death is  24 July 1847. ³

Stephen Deese and his wife had the following children:
 
i. James Deese was born about 1795 in Anson County, North Carolina
ii. Samuel Deese, born abt 1805,  Anson County, North Carolina; married Sarah Hill, 1830, Anson County, North Carolina; died abt 4 Jun 1888.
iii. Mary Deese was born about 1810 in Anson County, North Carolina
iv. William Deese was born about 1815 in Anson County, North Carolina.
v. Thomas Deese was born about 1815 in Anson County, North Carolina.
 
If you have any information on the parents of  Samuel Deese, b. 1805, died about 4 June 1888 I would love to hear from you.
