"A few years after the Civil War a Confederate soldier, George William Deas, later known as "Jake" Deas, the son of William and Martha Deas of Coffeeville, Alabama, married Rebecca Cox and moved to a farm about eight miles northeast of Coffeeville on the old Coffeeville-Grove Hill Road. Soon the Sol Shewmakers, the John Browns, the Jackson Otts, the Charlie Fendleys, and several other families moved near the Jake Deas place and began farming. Families were large in those days - the George William Deas famiy had five sons - Billy [William] Vest [Overton S.], Jim[James], Milton and Robert - and three daughters - Eliza, Lizzie, and Ida."
They also had a son named Shubal who died as a child.
