The pr es ent collecti on or data i sintended in some degree to re :nedy t hi s deficiency. Werealize that it is ""efully incomplete and pro bably, nowand the n, inaccurate. Both conditions are inherent. inthe circwnstances under which it was assem bled - mainlyincidertally to other genealogical work . It derives some­what from personal knowledge, somewhat from informationcollected by co rrespondence t somewhat, f ro m a few publishedsources I and far l ess than it should f r om research in pri­mary sources . Hany original sources - c ensus es t cemeteryr ecords , land records , will:;J, mortuary r-ecorda , ' t ax l iS t s ,et.c , , etc . - were availabl e to us only in a l imited degree .Even so , it. may be a helpful beginning for a l at.er , morecomplete genealogy of t.he Deans .

APPENDIX I

(This ac count of th e r-azdng of th e mill built by Andre w Dean ( I'. IS) appear-e d in lhest. Catharines~ on 1 Sept 1948. )

Parol of the mill, in the wor-ds o f the inscriptive tablet whdch held BI1

honored place over the main doorway up W1til l ate 1947 t has be en t ra nsferred t othe Tintern United Church , wher -e Andrew Dean was a generous member • •• •

The inscri pt i on on the mar ble t.abl.et, reads: "A 0 1857 , Till s miller ected by Andre~J Dean for the good of man, and he consecret .ee a tenth of al l theI-rocee ds t o the suppor t of sp re ading th e Gospel of Cbr i s t en !:;o!,t h. " lind Andr ewDean , t .hr oughout . his ent ire life, l ived up to the very tenets o f the dnccr-d pt don ,doing goo d not onl y with the money which he gave to the church , but. in the ex ampleof t hrift and good living whdch he s et in his everyday life.

On t he s U e of t he mill , two mil es south-eas t of Campden , a cairn is t obe er ec t ed of a rme of th e fiel d s to nes use d in its con struction , and a gr ani t es l ab ••• will carry a de scriptive story.

rli t h a trimm ed s t one front and corners, th e other walls of the roill,whic h towers five s to r ies from the creek bed, wer-e made entirely of flat f ields to nes , expertly l aid of a mortar made of l ime and clay. In those far-off day sce ment was unknown, but the qual ity of the builder's art which went into its co n­struction has be en verr evident in the manner in which the mill withstood t heel ements for nearly a century. The wal l s are as true as any modern building.

It was sa i d that, when Hr. Dean had ecnpket.ed the mill, he was heavilyin debt , with carrying charges on his l oan amounting to $9 a day. Very feHthought that he woukd be able to make a succes s of such a big enterprise t hutthey reckoned without the abil ity and energy of t he hardy miller . Nothing but.the finest equi pment availabl e 'red been used. Six. mill atones , each cos t ing .$ 440•• • wer-e imported from France , and huge tiJnbers, rt.ear-Iy 18 inches square , wer eunder eve ry floor.

A big dam, 20 feet high , backed the waters of the Twenty Creek upnearly to Tintern, over tHO miles away , and the backlog of water provided thepower to run the hea vy millstones . Day after day, and many ti[nes far into thenight, the sound of t he t urning wheels could be heard .

I n those days, the practice was to take every tenth bushel of grainin lieu of hard cash , and Andrew Dean soon wor ked up 8 flourish i ng business ,s el l ing his flour and chop over an ever-widening t.er-r-Ltory , Stone flour, regardedby many as the healthiest ·i..~eredient for bread, and one Lof] t he most tasty, wasground at the mill , and nearby re sidents still recall with nostalgia the l ong- r emem­bered taste of the bread and rolls made from it•• ••

A family man, Hr . Dean had 18 children, five by his first wif e andthirteen by his se cond. Today only one i s l i ving, 1·1rs . Charles High (Sarah)of st. Ilat.her-Lnes , But there are grandchildren , and one of thes e, th~ former- EdnaEckhardt, i s now nr e, Charl es Spi.ece, They own the mil l pro perty, havi ng inherited itfrom Mr-s, Spi ec e 's father, who bought, it from Mrs. Dean after the s t ur'dy mill e rhad passed along.

bought it and ran it until 1912. But the streams were drying up , and steam hadhad t o be install ed for l ow-wa t.er pe r iods. I n time , it became too expe ns ive tooperate, and, while Charlie Spiece did investigate t he poss i bility of put tingin electric~. ty r i t was too costly t end t he mill rema ined silent .

For a quarter of a cenun-r , i t. l ay idle , and , with such good timt.er andmaterial in it t t he dec ision was made t o sell them. The timbers and much of t hefloor planking went in t o a house buU t nearby by Henry Schinkl.e , and ~Ir .
