- Genealogical and Family History of Central New York:
"Ezra, son of Ezra Dean was born in Taunton, Massachusetts, October 14, 1680. He married (first) Abigail, daughter of Captain James Leonard. He married (second) Abigail Bretnall, who survived him. He died July 1, 1737 at Taunton. Ezra Dean was a physician of note in his day. A writer in the "Columbian. of Taunton", in 1825, stated some interesting facts about Dr. Dean's children. He had 16 and their united ages, dead and alive, amounted to 1307 years. The ages of 11 amounted to over a thousand years. His daughter, Thoedora, lived to see descendants in the fifth generation and was the mother of Dr. Job Godfrey of Taunton, imminent for half a century. Descendants of several of his sons settled in Worcester County, some in Hardwick, some in Rutland and Westminster, and others in Oakham and vicinity."
