Re: John BEAN of Exeter; Wives Margaret EDWARDS? & Hannah LISSEN?

cre1lrc — 2012-06-23 17:58:13Z

My understanding in doing research is that he married Hannah Lissen after arriving in New Hampshire. He was endentured to her father, Nicholas Lissen. They had 3 children and she died in childbirth with the 3rd child in 1659. He married Margaret(last name unknown). She was an orphan and sent over on the same ship as John at 9 y/o and was endentured until 1660 at age 19. She married John and they had 9 children between 1661 and 1680. Hope this helps.

These are very good questions and nearly a decade later there are no answers. Odd. If these questions have been resolved elsewhere, please post links. Thanks - Brian Bean

Stirling Castle no longer sells the Argyll and Royal Highlanders regimental whiskey in the museum. But when they did, I'd buy a small bottle and toast the good Brigadier!

The castle is a GREAT visit! The Royal Palace, inside the Castle has been totally renovated and shows the Palace in the reign of King James the Fifth.

I am trying to determine who the parents of Nancy M. Bean were. Nancy married Bricem Cox in 1841 in Gallatin County, IL and later married Alexander K. Boutwell after Bricem's death. She is buried with Bricem Cox in Jackson Cemetery in Ridgeway, Gallatin County, IL. Nancy and Bricem had 7 children

Mary J. Cox b. 1853
Lucy Ann Cox b, 1859
Thomas Jefferson Cox 1862-1958
Nancy Margaret Cox 1864-1944
Bricem G. Cox 1871-1879

If anyone can help me determine who Nancy M. Bean's parents were I would certainly appreciate it.

Vona Morgan is a sister of my deceased father, Virgil Beene. To the best of my knowledge she is residing in a nursing home in or around Hattisburg, MS. She was married to Jesse Morgan and they had two daughters, Charlotte, who passed away during the past 3 years, and Beverley who lives in Greenwood, MS. She is the only sibling of my father's remaining. His sister, Velera Franks, died on the day my father was buried. Both lived in Itawamba County.

ValorieCowanZimmerman — 2007-08-06 01:58:14Z

DeWitt, this may be the woman you asked about, in the Social Security Death Index:

VONA E MORGAN, 29 Sep 1927 - 15 Jul 1992. SSN: 439-52-0012, issued: Louisiana.

There are quite a few things you can do with this information. First of all, you can find it yourself at http://ssdi.rootsweb.com , and attach a Postem to her record. This will help cousin/researchers find you.

Second, you can click on the SS-5 link, to generate and print out a letter you send to the SSA requesting her SSN Application. Information about her parents will be on that application, along with her signature!

Third, you can now search for obituaries for her, which will probably add to the information you know have. Most importantly, it will give you the name of the funeral home, which will hold still more records.

I hope this is helpful,

Valorie

Hi Etta,
You have everything quite good. William probably left Scotland at 10 for Ireland, at least that is what I think you meant. We havent traced William and Naomi's upline, other than it is said that Naomi is the daughter of Isaac Bates, which you have. We don't have Williams parents.
I would be glad to trade information with you on this line.
I have quite a bit of it in the Clan database, but always need updates. I may already have your line, but you may have some things that I don't. let me know.

I too am a decendant of William Bean and Naomi Bates. My father, Virgil B. Beene, b10-22-1914, is the son of Artie Thurman Beene,b1-27-1888 in MS, son of John Isaac Beene, b4-8-1868,son of Wiley Hopkins Bean, b1-29-1831 (Butts co, GA), son of Wiley Jackson Bean, 1802 in NC, son of John Bean, b10-18-1776 (Laurens Co, SC), son of William Bean, b 1727 or 1730 in Ireland. My records indicate Walter Bean, b1791 in NC was the son of John Bean, who was the son of William Bean and Naomi Bates, who came to SC (from Scotland) on the Admiral Hawk with 3 children in 1767. My records do not contain a father's name for William Bean, but indicates he was 10 years old when he left Ireland with his parents for Scotland. My records indicate Naomi Bates father was "probably" Isaac Bates. I'm always interested in Bean/Beene/Beane history and have quite a bit of information. Is this info helpful? Etta Beene Vaughan

Hi Nannette, How far back have you been able to research on the Carfrae side and the McBean side? Felicity my wife is a McBean and she is Alexander and Margaret's G Granddaughter. They had 4 son's, Alexander 1858, George 1860. Charles 1864 and Felicity's Grandfather Henry Darling 1868. She knew him as "Papa Sick" as he was quite ill when she was a little girl.

Re: William BEAN b. 1721 IRL m. Naomi BATES, son John BEAN b. 1776 SC

sabia141 — 2006-10-12 15:45:01Z

I believe your genes jumped the track back at William Bean 1727, who emigrated on the Admiral Hawke to Charleston SC from Ireland. He was born 1727, probably near Croy, Inverness according to a conversation of my father with Bernie Bean while living. Bernie had it in notes he was unable to locate from a conversation with family members (he travelled widely in the US). Certainly there was a William Bean in Croy at that time - his father may also have been William (records I have seen at Inverness). My father believes he left Scotland for Ulster before Culloden Field, but don't know the source of that information. I believe he found evidence of Bean in Ulster, but Irish records were mostly lost in fires.

There were several SC Beans fighting in the War of Independence, indicating that there were several branches of the family in NC and SC at that time. I believe that these get mixed up in records. William 1727 enlisted in the Third Regiment on 10 April 1779 under Capt. Felix Warley and was discharged on 1 July, 1781. His son William served in Pickens' brigade before and after the fall of Charlestown. It seems likely that at least the father was at the Battle of Cowpens as the Third Regiment was there; but there is no more evidence than that. Whether the family participated in the battle at Musgrove Mill no one knows, but it was not too far from their cabin.

2006-10-09 05:54:50Z

I would like to trace the family of this man who was the Commander in Chief of the 93rd Regiment at Foot of the Argyle and Sutherland Higlanders. He won his VC at the relief of Lucknow in 1848. He was born near the McBean district of Kinchyre near the Eastern end of Loch Ness.

His medals, sword and uniform are on display in the 93rd's museum at Stirling Castle. A fantastic visit for anyone who is a McBean. Can anyone let me have some information on this wonderful man?

Just for the record my wife is Felicity Jane McBean and I am trying to fill in her side of the family tree.

Many thanks, Terry.

Thanks for the reply Nannette, I have found a lot more information on the Carfraes. Do you have any info on the Carfrae tree so we can compare how the two trees combine?

Felicity and I have just come back from Scotland and visted about ten villages of the Carfraes as well as the Village called Carfrae and Carfraemill.

How do I send you some of the info I have gleaned through various connections to family members' trees?

All the best Terry

Although I dont have info on Henry Beane, I do have a picture of (his son) John Henry of Va (b.1826), and John Henry's son Thomas Jefferson Beane (b 1858) of OH, if you're interested. I also have a picture of a tombstone for John Henry. my email is skbean@yahoo.com or skbean@knology.net

Greetings to Clan MacBean;
I have been doing my genealogy for awhile now. My maternal grandmother was a Bean from Texas>Alabama>S.Car.>Ireland>Eng>and maybe Scotland.
It goes like this; Maude Bean b. 1890, Tx.>David Bean b. 1869, Ala.>D.M.Bean b. 1828, Ga.>Walter Bean b. 1791 N.Car.>John Bean b. 1776 S.Car.>William Bean b.1727,Ireland was married to Naomi Bates>( I think a William Bean b. abt. 1700,Virginia>Matthew Bean b. abt. 1650. Eng.) Does this line get anywhere near MacBean Clan and Scotland. I sure would be proud to have that blood line. I would be grateful for any help on this subject. Thanks for listening.

Henry BEANE b. c1760-65 s/o Thomas BEANE, or John Smith BEAN

2003-08-10 01:49:33Z

Kerry, thank you for your reply and info. Since posting this query I have found Henry's birthdate to be anywhere from 1745 to 1776. The most probable seems to be between 1760 and 1765. Also there is some doubt as to whether Thomas is his father. John Smith Bean (who it appears was decended from King James II by way of his illegitimate daughter Mary Stuart) has been suggested as Henrys father however that has not been proved. From your msg. it would seem your branch of this large and mobile family came by way of New England or even Nova Scota. Other branchs settled all along the eastern seaboard as far south as Jamaca.

John BEAN of Exeter; Wives Margaret EDWARDS? & Hannah LISSEN?

TheresaMcCracken — 2003-07-27 06:50:49Z

Could someone tell me please??? Who were the wives of John Bean of Exeter, and did the one said to have come over here with him really do so??? There are names of Margaret (some have Edwards???) and Hannah Lissen- the sawmill owner's daughter.... How does a POW get the privelege of having his wife come over with him??? Did he have children before he became a POW in Scotland, and they followed with the mother???? And, if she died on the ship as some stories say, then who took care of the children (if there were any) while he was "being sold" and whatnot???
... just curious???? They're are soooo many stories out there, it is really hard to sort it out, and I thought if I was wondering these things, perhaps someone else was, as well... so, now, if someone does know the real deal, we'll all know!!! Right???
Thank you.

I have been in touch with Estelle Quick who was the curator of the Tain museum and she was not able to help unfortunately.
I have searched the LDS CD-ROM of Old Parish Records without success.
I have a photo of the Bain house in Tain, with grandmother Brake and an aunt in front, taken during the Anglo-Scottish tour in the 1920s; also copies of letters written by a Hugh Bain which have a London address.

Clan to post their Notices and the Clan Associations
to post their web sites, notices of meetings and
gatherings. Even Newsletters ( by permission of the
Clan officials) are permitted here.

The correct procedure for posting here is to:
A: do a reply to this message. Erase the subject heading
above and then >
B: enter the name of your association and connection
to the clan.
C: Follow on postings are then replied to that unique
association. I would think that subject and dates
would then be appropriate subject headings.

The intention is to allow the Clan to have a thread
and each respective association to have a thread that
it can maintain with its newsletters and notices.
That way the basic thread of the association can be
referenced by URL in emails and other web sites.

Please forward this message to the Clan headquarters office,
its international associations and
other affiliated groups that may be interested in
posting here. Posting this notice to the Surnames message boards
and Surname mailing list or sending to Secretary of the
Clan, the Clan Associations and the Septs of the Clan
would also be appreciated.

Best Regards
John A Hansen
Board Admin

Ancestors postings

Dear All:

Please start a separate sub-thread under this
thread ( just do a reply) for each Clan ancestor.

The thread on this board (and the mailing list) is intended for
comments, hints on how to locate, and discussions
on those distant ancestors ( sometimes brick walls) that are
very hard to locate. Anyone with knowledge of the
Clan Ancestors or searching for ancestors and especially
the Clan Genealogist are especially encouraged to post
their finding on the Clan ancestors.

Please do not use this board for merely looking for
recent descendants. That function is better in the
Surname message boards and mailing lists.

Use the standard procedure in the subject header of
inserting your family ancestor information in the following format
NAME > location > dates

Best Wishes and Happy Hunting to All
