    Notes 
    • Information about the Bean family was provided by Frances Martin . She reported that most of it was taken from THE CLAN McBEAN Book, Vol. III. Bean family information was also obtained through the generosity of Yolanda Pepper Miller (Ypmiller@aol.com).

      Thelma Faye Cain Prince posted the following on her "John STILL family of Edgefield County, SC" website:

      Bean, Alexander-deceased. Edgefield Co. Deed Book 31, p. 200, 201, 16 May 1812. Division of sale of real estate. Wife: Christiana Bean. Children: James Bean, Joseph Still, James Still, John Lee, Thomas Youngblood--son of Jacob Youngblood, John Bean, and William Bean. >From "Edgefield Co. SC Records" by Janie Revill, 1984

      Newton County Historical Committee, , "Glimpses of Newton County History," 1982, contains several pages of biographical information about this family as well (pp. 167-169).

      It was noted that the Trout Creek Cemetery in Newton County, near the intersection of FM 1416 and Hwy 87, is the final resting place for at least six generations of this early pioneer family. Alexander Bean and his wife Christina were said to have been married, supposedly in Scotland, and came to America settling in the Ninety-Sixth District, South Carolina which would later become Edgefield District. According to census records, their children were all born in South Carolina. A copy of deed of the selling of one hundred and thirty-four acres of land in Edgefield District near Little Stephens Creek which had been inherited by Alexander and Christina's children is recorded in Deed Book 32, pp. 196-198 on March 7, 1815. Listed as present were Christina Bean and her children James, Alexander, John Elizabeth, Isabella, Sarah, Levicy adn William, then a minor.

      indicates that Christina's last name was Massey or Maston. The family stories indicated that Christina was the daughter of a wealthy family, and Alexander was poor, and that they ran off together.
