Notes

Homestead located at mouth of Boone's creek - across from Brother William Beans. Family legion states he built a cabin on Boons Creek in 1761, bro. William moved into with his family in 1769, when John moved his family in 1772, built cabin across the creek.

From Moses Fisk 1816: "But part of the Cherokees notwithstanding Camerion's zeal, expressed a desire that the trespassers might be permitted to remain, provided they would make no further encrouchments. This favorable symptom was not long neglected. Robertson and John Bean were by these tenants at will in 1771 [1772] sent to treat with their landlords, and agree upon articles of accommodation and friendship. The attempt succeeded"

Served in Capt. William Russell's unit during Dunmore's War (1774) (Recodes Library of VA)

According to Sequatche by J. Leonard Raulston and JW Livingood, He and his brother Capt. William scattered a band of Tories and hung 9 of them at Kings Mountain.

"Tories .. reinforced Indian attacks... Tories concealed themselves high in the mountains. Capt Bean and his wig comrades, including his son George, his brother John, and John's son, Edmund, ferreted them out, and fired upon and wounded their leader, Capt. Henry Grimes. ("In the sweet by and by" Mary Coghlan White.)

"Colonel Sever waited at the French Board .... "At daybreak John Bean was dispatched with 5 scouts to see it there was any trace of Indians. He killed one and brought his head to the camp (Brown, page 160).

In 1784, Washington, Sullivan, and Gilbert counties formed the independent State of Franklin... John Bean was a delegate from Washington" ("In the sweet by and by" Mary Coghlan White.)

These gedcoms are works in process. Much of the data reflects family history that has been given to me by others who have worked on these lines and has not yet been verfied. Please send suggestions and corrections to Jean McSpadden
