Deana is a descendant of Ralph Little, born around 1765 in England. He came to this country to fight for the crown during the revolutionary war. He married Jane Paine and they had one son, Thomas Lorenzo, from which the family descended.

Dale is a descendant of Samuel McDaniel,b.1762,in Pennsylvania. He moved to Ohio where he raised his family. His third son, William, in turn moved to Iowa where several generations of McDaniels lived. Samuel may have been the son of Isaac McDonald who died around November, 1797 in Pennsylvania. I am particularly interested in information about this possibility.
