Joseph Deane was one of the six children of Walter and Eleanor Deane who have been identified from records.[1]
David Martin proposed a birthdate of "say 1654," in Taunton, Massachusetts.[2]
Joseph Dean resided in Dighton, Massachusetts, where he made his will on 3 December 1728.[2] Vital Records of Dighton shows his date of death as 10 January 1728,[2] [3] but this probably is an old style date that should be interpreted as 10 January 1728/9 (i.e., modern-style 10 January 1729). His will was probated 11 February 1728/9. [2]
At the time of his will, he was married to wife Mary, and his living children were sons Joseph, James, and Samuel Dean, and daughter Sarah Read.[2]

It appears to me, from sources, that Deane should be his LNAB and Dean his current last name.
