HARDY COUNTY LINE OF THE BEAN FAMILY.

Foreword.

This is only an attempt at recording genealogical data. Biographical matter has been omitted from this pamphlet, for want of space and incompleteness of information at hand. This may be taken up in the future if time permits.
As many of the family have the same given name, to avoid confusion it is convenient to place a number before most of them. Additional names appearing has prevented giving numbers in regular order in this pamphlet. Abbreviations: b. born, c. children; d. deceased, cem. cemetery; Res. residence.
Since the matter beginning with page 1 was printed this additional information has been obtained. As far back as we now definitely know the Bean and Tucker families are closely associated. On March It 1917 Josephus Tucker, age 96 years, of Meigs county Ohio, states he is a cousin of Josephus Tucker late of Athens, Ohio. His father's family about the year 1820 was as follows; first names on each line me brothers and sisters:
David Tucker, b. 1765 m. an Austin c. Josephus of Meigs co., Ohio. b. 1821 and others.
Aaron Tucker. m. ______ remained in Hardy co.
Rausa Tucker, m 15 ________ Bean sister of 17 18, 19 & 20; c. Josephus of Athens 0hio.

PAGE BREAK

Quoting from in address by Hon. Josiah Drummond. "In Scotland 'Bean' means fair and is often used by Highlanders to distinguish a particular man of fair complexion. It is known that three distinct families came to this country about the same time, 1660; one settled in Virginia. one in Maine and one in New Hampshire."
A list published in 1832 shows 12 Bean, Revolutionary pensioners. That represents a small number of those of our name actually engaged in that war. The name occurs several times in Dandridge's "American Prisoners of the Revolution.
Cartmell in his book "Shenandoah Pioneers" page 437, "Mordecai Bean appeared in Frederick county with Isaac Zane about 1767 and applied for a patent for ungranted lands along the North mountains. This, then was the seating of a family that for nearly a century held large sway in that section." Kercheval in a very interesting book; “Valley of Virginia" 1833, speaks of Bean's smelter, also of Zane’s cave on the lands owned by heirs of the late Maj. James Bean, in Frederick County.
City Directories of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia for 1915 contain our family name. Evidently the name Bean in America was fairly numerous in both city and country early in the history of our nation.
Many of our line was in the Federal and Confederate armies. We hope to make individual mention of them in biographical notes at some future time.

Walker's "History of Athens County" and the Athens County Records afforded some data. Inscriptions on tombstones supplied many dates which are important
We feel very grateul to many relatives who have so kindly and promptly responded to letters of inquiry.
We hope you wll get the intended meaning where there are typographical errors.
Our motive in the beginning of this was to restore our immediate family record which was lost, as it progressed interest broadened
Sincerely yours,

Josephine Bean Wilson. Athens, Ohio, August 1, 1917.

THE BEAN FAMILY OF HARDY COUNTY VIRGINIA NOW
WEST VIRGINIA AND ATHENS COUNTY, OHIO

Hampshire county was organized in 1754 and Hardy county was formed from this county In 1786 When we mention Hardy county this particular place is meant.
This brief outline is put in this form before it is forgotten or lost. It may serve as a basis for more extensive research. additional information or corrections will be appreciated. One member is as important as another her; where information is brief or absent, it is because the data, was not in our possession.
The name Bean is found at Norwich, England. 1022. It is said, the Scotch immigrant John Bean settled in Exeter, New Hampshire in 1660. In 1824, 61 Bennett Bean of St, Mary co., Maryland, fourth generation from John Bean, 1716: relationship to the Hardy county line as yet unknown. Frequent use in both lines of the Christian name John, Bennett and Robert is suggestive. However, it is definitely known the following title of the family, which we are not able at this time to trace beyond the four brothers named on the next page, who lived near Hagerstown, Maryland. Before 1794 they moved to the virgin forest in the next state and established what is known is the Bean Settlement on Noah River about Inkerman, Hardy county, Virginia now in West Virginia. The Bean Cemetery mile and half south?west of Inkerman mostly used by descendants of 20 Bennett Bean. Many of families of 18 James Bean and 19 Thomas Bean rest in Asbury Cemetery, four miles south?west of Inkerman.
Some of the family were among the early settlers of Athens county Ohio. 16 Moses Bean served on the Athens county grand jury, July, 1806; August. 1808 and April, 1811. Dr. George Bean was one of the first three trustees of Canaan township in 1819. At that period the family settled mostly in Canaan township. Others soon followed, and now many of the family live about Guysville and other parts of Athens county. There is also a Bean Cemetery mile east of Guysville, this and the cemeteries at Canaanville and at South Canaan Church contain many graves of the Bean family.

PAGE ONE

On this page is a chart intended to give a brief, general view of the family. The earlier known members are shown and a few names more recent are given for clue to identity of descent. To show much as possible on this page only the Christian name is used: it should be understood the surname is BEAN, unless it is indicated otherwise by marriage. Concerning the Hardy county line of the family we are now able to name four brothers: 17 WILLIAM BEAN; 18 JAMES BEAN; 19 THOMAS BEAN; 20 BENNETT BEAN, who lived in Maryland prior to formation of the Bean Settlement. As yet it is not determined whether 16 MOSES BEAN was a brother 18, 18, 19 and 20 or not.

The first BEAN family in Saint Mary's county, Maryland seems to be represented by 1Ralph Bean, sea captain and boat owner, who came from Southwark, Surray, England and died in Saint Mary's county in 1695. He had brothers, 2 Walter Bean, 3 John Bean, 4 Robert Bean in Saint Marys Co. and a sister Sarah Bean in England.
“Heads of Families First, Census of United States, 1790" gives in Saint Mary's county, Maryland following named Bean families.

So I would like to know the general opinion of the Bean families living in Saint Mary's county, whether they consider themselves of which, English or Scotch origin.
