Bean DNA Report

It is an exciting time for Bean family researchers! The Bean DNA Project at
http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/b/bean/ is beginning to yield results that may help focus our research.

Three separate lineage groups have been established. In addition 7 single Bean DNA results have yet to be linked to any other Bean lineage.

The results below give the earliest known ancestor as given by the contributor of the DNA sample (or sponsor of the contributor).

Lineage I

These DNA contributors all seem share a common ancestor with one William Bean of Northumberland County, Virginia. Several of his children (but not all) are listed in the St. Stephen’s Parish records of Northumberland County.

ID#	Earliest Ancestor	Additional Information	Contact Person
B-3	J. William Beene b c1804 TN or KY married Ellinor Unknown	This is SBA member Bo Beene’s ancestor. He is descended from J. William Beene through his son John S. Beene who married Narcissa Payne. The family lived in Pontotoc Co, MS before moving to Texas.	Betty Beene bsbeene AT wildblue.net
B-16	Robert Bean b 1764 who married Martha Womack	This is Eric Beene’s ancestor through Robert Bean’s son Jesse Beene born December 29, 1800. Jesse Beene is buried in New Ramah Cemetery near Haynesville, LA

B-18	Jesse E Bean, b c1797 TN	This is Lisa Randolph’s ancestor. There is extremely strong circumstantial evidence that Jesse E. Bean b c 1797 is the son of William Bean b abt 1745 and Elizabeth Blair and therefore grandson of William Bean b 1721 who married Lydia Russell.

Lineage II

This lineage shows that the following share a common ancestor. B-14 and B-17 both descend from William Bean who married Nancy Blevins. B-9 does not have a proven link to the others at this time. B-24 has not provided dates and lineage at this time. It had long been thought that the William Bean who married Nancy Blevins was somehow kin to the William Bean of Northumberland Co, VA, father of William Bean who married Lydia Russell and the Lt. John Bean/Been who is believed to have married Elizabeth Henderson. However, the DNA results indicate that the two lineages are not closely related after all.

This is Sid Bean’s ancestor through Edmund Bean’s son James K. P. Bean who was born in Rhea Co, TN in 1840 and died in Saline Co, AR in 1910.
