I'm a DAR researcher trying to help a local lady trace her Jean/Gean line. I live very near Chatham Co, but since Bird Jean moved to AR the trail has gone cold.
My prospect has a several times gr-grandfather named William Gean who supposedly was a son of Bird, but all his information is in Graham, NC. Does anybody have any idea of where William came from, and why he might have moved back from AR?
Alternatively, it makes more sense that William is descended from the nearby Guilford Co Philip Jean family, but I'm unable to make any connections there either - and the dates just don't line up.
