Notes for Nicholas Dean:
Quakers were among the earliest settlers of Westchester County, beginning as early as 1672, with large numbers coming from Long Island beginning around 1685 [26]. Isaac's older brother Nicholas, and his wife Deborah, had moved to Westchester County no later than 1732, when they are recorded as engaging in land transactions [27]. His older brother, Samuel, is also recorded as being in North Castle, Westchester County, by 1736, when it is recorded that he was a town officer (Highway Master and Fence and Damage Viewer) [28]. One author [29] says that Isaac had "removed from Long Island to Philipsburg (Westchester County) before 1744," but this appears unlikely in view of the land transactions in Oyster Bay described above. More likely, Isaac and Amee moved to Westchester County in 1749.
