J.D..wondered if you had any more luck with the Deal connection.I have since found a bit more about Ezekiel Deal Sr..born 1789.He and wife Edith Cole Deal moved to Henry CO, Al sometime after 1840.I don't know where they lived in 1840, but they showed up on the Henry CO census in 1850.If you look at this link:

Go to the D listings.All the "Dees" are really Deals!Yes...I see many who are Ezekiel's children.I believe whomever transcribed the original census to the digital format misspelled the Deal name.Edith was also on the 1860 and 1870 censuses, living with daughter Eady.Ezekiel must have died bet 1850-1860.I have a few new leads concerning Ezekiel and Edith's parentage as well and need to do more work on that.Let me know how you are doing.
