Sarah (Sallie) Dean (March 2, 1816 - April 22, 1901): Tenth child and second-born daughter of Samuel F. Dean and Martha Kemp. She was born in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. She married Jervis Stark on May 2, 1832, in Fayette City, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. He was born in 1807 in Kilfinane, Limerick, Ireland and died about 1851. There were four children blessed to this marriage:

1. Margaret Stark (1834 -?)
2. Charles Henry Stark (April 4, 1838 - October 14, 1910) m. Catherine L. Stanton
3. Samuel Stark (November 21, 1846 - January 10, 1858)
4. James William Stark (December 1849 -September 26, 1919) m. Ella Felecia Tishue

After the death of her first husband, she married Joseph Stark in 1852 a much younger man a blacksmith by trade born on January 1, 1826, in Thomastown Kilfnane Parish, Limerick County Ireland. He was the son of Henry Stark and Betsy Mee both lived in Ireland. Joseph and Sarah were blessed with three children:

1. Sarah Elisabeth Stark (March 16, 1853 - January 8, 1881) m. Henry Clay Snow
2. Jervis Alonzo Stark (March 9, 1857 - February 2, 1942) m. Mollie Mary Show
3. Mary C. Stark (December 1861 - December 5, 1925) m. Jacob Rankin

Joseph had one younger brother, John William Stark, born on October 27, 1831, accompany him to America who married Lavina Ann Dean on May 18, 1850, the daughter of Thomas Dean and Jane Wright.

Sarah Dean died on April 22, 1901, in Farmington, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. She almost lived as long as her younger husband Joseph Stark who died January 22, 1904. Both are buried in Sansom Chapel Cemetery in Farmington, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The Dean and Crawford families were incredibly involved with the schoolhouse in Brandonville, Preston County, West Virginia Methodist Episcopal Church. The Dean family built and donated the land for the Sansom Chapel and cemetery in the early years in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. In both 1880 and 1900 censuses Sarah correctly recorded the birth places of her parents: Samuel born Maryland and Martha born New Jersey. The Dean's progenitor, Samuel F. Dean, is buried Sansom Chapel Cemetery with a marker recognizing his service to his country in Revolutionary War under Captain Phillips and Butler. The maker placed there by a well-intended granddaughter in the 1959s recorded his name as Samuel F. Dean II. Samuel's father was Thomas who has been proven over and again but people kept making the same mistake from an article written newspapers. Captains Phillips and Butler, he did not serve under. Samuel was a skilled Indian fighter and fought the British Surrogate Indians in the Revolutionary War under Capt. Philip Longstreth and Capt. Abraham Covalt in Col. John Piper Bedford Co. Militia Regiment. He was in the Indian Wars in the America's First Army 1790 -1794 under Capt. Richard Sparks and Col Butler's Inf. Co./2nd Levy Regiment. Ref: 7.
