1 Ancestor name: possibly Lemuel S. Bean

Birth? Possibly Vermont

Death?

May have been a judge. (family rumor)

Notes in searching for his and his family's origins:

There was a Lemuel Bean in Barnstable Massachusetts in 1754. He was

a subscriber to the Isham will. (Barnstable Co. Probate Registry

Vol. XII ) REf: Ishams in England and America by H.W. Brainard page

120.

Vermont came into being as a state 4 March 1791. Prior to that it

was a border area disputed between New York and New Hampshire; hence

various documents might list persons as coming from Windsor, New

Hampshire or even NY.

re: Vermont: 1761 migration into area from Connecticut; 1763-1784

various Scotch-Irish settlements; 1770-1771 and 1775 Scotch-Irish

settlements in Windsor County. 1816 severe weather in winter and

summer caused much emigration out of state.

Re: New York: 1781 NY cedes her western territory to the United

States. Many Loyalists migrated to Canada during and after American

Revolution; 1812 (About) Many Vermonters migrate to the northern

counties of New York: Essex; Clinton, Franklin, St. Lawrence, and

Jefferson.

There was a William Bean, head of family, in Windsor, VT in the 1790

census: 3 sons, 3 daughters.

Census 1860, Bradford, Chickasaw, IA, shows that Richard was either

a Lawyer or a Sawyer (i.e. owned a saw mill). The handwriting is

hard to read. Typewritten report from Iowa State Archives shows

"Lawyer"; Pearl's notes show he was a lawyer and in 1830 worked for

the St. Lawance [sic] Co. New York, Wheatfield Township. Moved to

Ingham County, MI and returned to St. Lawance [sic] (i.e. St.

Lawrence). Moved to Iowa in late 1850's. Volume I of the Clan

MacBean in North America shows he owned a sawmill before the war.

Source not listed for the latter.

During the Civil War, Richard enlisted 22 Sep 1862 at Camp

Hendershot, Iowa The family story is that he was too old to enlist,

so he dyed his hair with walnut juice, lied about his age, and

enlisted anyway. He was in the 6th Cavalry, Company C, of the Iowa

Volunteers. He was discharged for disability (hip injury) 21 April

1863 with rank of private.
