"Daniel Dean was born in the village of Tubermore, Londonderry, in the north of Ireland, in 1766, son of Roger and Mary Dean, and was 18 years of age when he came to this country in 1784, landing at the port of Philadelphia. For about four years after his arrival here he sojourned in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, "getting his bearing," and then went to Kentucky and bought tract of land in the vicinity of Mt. Sterling in Montgomery County. A couple of years later he sent back to Ireland for his mother, his father meanwhile having died, and a year later, in 1791, he married Janet Steele who was born in Augusta County, Virginia, but who had moved with her parents into Kentucky, and after his marriage established his home on his land in the Mt. Sterling where he continued to live until 1812, when he disposed of his interests there and moved up here into the valley of the Little Miami and settled on the tract of land he had previously bought with a view to removing his family from the baleful influence of human slavery that had fastened itself on the state of Kentucky."
