T.L. DEAN, physician and surgeon, son of Alexander and Nancy (Hughes) 
Dean, was born in Caldwell County, Ky., October 16, 1833.  Subject's
grandfather was Job Dean, a native of North Carolina.  He came to
Kentucky many years ago, settling in Caldwell County, where he was 
killed, in 1804, by being thrown from a horse.  Subject's maternal 
ancestors were from South Carolina; his grandfather, William Hughes, 
immigrated to Kentucky from South Carolina in 1808, and settled in 
Crittenden County, about six miles northeast of Marion.  He died in 
1847.  His daughter, Mrs. Dean, was born in 1811, and died in 1860.  
Alexander Dean was born in January, 1801, in Caldwell County, where he 
lived until his removal to this county in 1836.  He settled six miles 
north of Marion on a farm now in possession of his sons, and was a 
resident of this county until his death in 1879.  He took an active 
part in the county organization, and was a member of the first grand 
jury ever impaneled in the county.  Dr. Dean is the eldest of a family 
of eight children, born to Alexander and Nancy Dean.  He obtained the 
rudiments of his education in the common schools and later attended the 
Bethlehem Academy in Caldwell County several sessions.  On attaining 
his majority he commenced farming in Crittenden County, which vocation 
he followed until 1857, when he commenced the study of medicine under 
Dr. J.A. Hodge, of Marion, remaining in his office at intervals for 
three years.  He entered the St. Louis Medical college some time in 
1857, and graduated from that institution in the class of 1859.  After 
graduation he settled in Marion, in the practice of his profession, and 
here remained until 1869, when he moved to the country, where he 
practiced three years.  In 1872 he moved to Illinois, settling in the 
town of Rose Clare, Hardin County, where he engaged in the drug 
business, which he carried on in connection with his profession for two 
years, and in 1874 he went to Elizabethtown, Ill., where he resided one 
year.  He moved to Cave-in-Rock, Hardin Co, Ill., in 1875, remaining 
there until 1877, when he came back to Marion, which has since been his 
home.  He was married August 12, 1863, to Mary C. Minner, daughter of 
Harvey Minner, of Crittenden County.  Seven children were the result of 
this union: Charles P., P. K., Harvey, Nellie, Alexander (deceased), 
Joseph M. and Robert (deceased).  Mrs. Dean died August, 1876, at the 
age of thirty-five years.  The Doctor's second marriage took place April
16, 1879, in Greenville, Ky., to Nannie C. McIntire, of Muhlenburg [sic]
County.  She died April 6, 1883, aged forty-eight years.  May 7, 1883, 
Dr. Dean married Miss Bettie Linthicum, daughter of Dr. R.L. Linthicum 
of Henderson County, Ky.  Dr. Dean has a very large practice in 
Crittenden County, and the adjoining counties, and his professional 
career has been eminently successful.  He has been a member of the 
Democratic party for many years, but is now a staunch Prohibitionist.  
He belongs to the K. of H., and is an active member of the Presbyterian 
Church.
