Welcome to the Bean Family Genealogy Home Page!

Since you've found your way here, I'm guessing that you're either a Bean in search of  ancestors or that the Bean surname plays into your family tree. In either case, while  you're here, I hope that you will find something that helps you in your reseach. I'm  also hoping that you have something you can share with me.

My Bean family originates in Central Tennessee, specifically in the area around  Cookeville, in the early 1800s. (Jackson County, later merged with Putnam County).   Evidence suggests that they migrated there from Eastern Tennessee and North Carolina  sometime after the American Revolution. There is also evidence that points to a tie  to William Bean, the first white settler in Eastern Tennessee. Much has been written  about William and his descendants, but so far I've found no definitive proof of a  direct link.

Other families that are a part of my family tree include; Jaquess, Wassom, Shipley,  Burris, King and Garrison. Click on the report section below for more information.

Any information you can provide to aid in my research would be greatly appreciated  and I will be happy to provide any information I have to assist you in your search.

Please contact me with any questions you have by clicking on the "send a message" link  at the top of the page.

Happy Beanstalking,

Ron Bean
