15. Elizabeth Dean O'Kelley was born on 22 October 1781. She died on 4 February 1864. Appears as Betsy on her marriage record.

Appears in the 1860 US Census on Oglethorpe Co GA as Elizabeth D Harwell.  I believe this official US government document is proof positive that the contents of Judith Ries's "bible pages" as she refers to them are questionable.  Certain Charles and Mary would not have name their daughter, the first America born grand daughter Elizabeth Dean O'Kelley if Charles's mother was Anna Dean.

*Mark Harwell may be the brother of Frances Harwell, who married James O'Kelley.
