Notes: Otis and Augusta were married 4 Jan 1848 in Sharon, County of Norfolk, Massachusetts, by Wilson R. Parsons, Mansfield Clergy. Their first and only daughter, Mary, was born 17 Sep 1848. In the 1850 U.S. census, the family was living in Foxborough, Norfolk, Massachusetts.

In 1869, the family was still living in Foxborough, with the addition of three sons, Frederick, Arthur, and Edwin. A relative (nephew?) of Augusta, Otis E. Dunbar, was living with them. Otis was a bootmaker by trade.

Otis was enrolled in the Union Army on 31 December 1863. He was wounded, taken prisoner, freed in 1864, and hospitalized for a while. In the 1870 U.S. census, Otis had become a farmer, and the family now had four additional sons, William, Ernest, Harry, and Herbert.

The family moved west, and in the 1880 U.S. census they Otis, 59, and Augusta, 53, were living in Arcadia Township, Carroll County, Iowa. Otis not working. Mary and Frederick are "at home", Arthur, Edwin, and William are "farming", and Harry is "attending school". It is presumed that Ernest and Herbert have probably died young.

The family moved west again, and arrived in Ontario, San Bernardino, California about 1891. In the 1900 U.S. census, Otis and Augusta, along with Mary, Edwin, and William, are living in the Ontario Township.

Otis passed away in 1907. In the 1910 U.S. census, only Augusta and Mary are living in the family home on West Sixth Street, Ontario. Augusta died in 1911. Both Otis and Augusta are buried in the Dean family plot in Bellevue Memorial Park, Ontario, California.
