  Notes	A Journey Through Time: The Dean Family From Sixteenth Century England to Modern Day Dorchester County Maryland By Milton W. Dean, Jr. William Henry never actually settled in Maryland. He was a well known shipsmaster and shipbuilder. He commanded a privateer, 'The Betty', which was his own ship. He investigated the possibility of building ships somewhere on the Chesapeake Bay where timber was cheap, but the cost of transporting metals and ship's fittings, together with a scarcity of skilled craftsmen caused him to discard the idea. He also investigated the possibility of establishing trading posts at settlements on both sides of the bay with Indian tribes, but after several voyages to and from England, he decided that the risks involved were too great for the profits derived. He was at St. Mary's off and on for several years and then at Fox Creek in Dorchester Co. for a short time but returned to Dorset, England. His wife Elizabeth never came to America. He and his wife are buried near Dorchester, Dorset, England.
