Joshua Marsden - 1685 - Lancashire

The name "Joshua Marsden" appears many times, as first and middle names, in my family, beginning sometime in the late 1700s in New York, New York.Joshua Dean was the son of Moses Dean (1756-1837); his sister Abigail had a son Joshua Marsden Dubois; Abigail's daughter Elizabeth had a son Joshua Marsden Halstead; in the next generation of Halsteads, the name Marsden appears twice as a middle name.
I believe there is some ancestral connection, through the Dean family (Moses' wife was Susannah De Vaux, and I have traced her pedigree back on both sides and found no Marsdens), to a Joshua Marsden, given the frequency of the use of the name.
Would you know of any connection?I have no information on the parentage of Moses Dean, but that's where I think a connection could be.
Thanks!
