Glad to have the extra information. I was also wondering (as you put it being hard to believe) about all the children that was said to be credited to him and wondering if Connor was one of them or not. It is hard to know for sure but that is the same info I have for Connor so I am thinking he is a legitimate child of William Bean 11. I appreciate your reply and your help. I am searching for a copy of Connors will which was probated in 1859 in Franklin County Tn. He died in 1858 and there is supposedly information in his will that will give me more info on my great grandmother. I am trying to find who her blood father is since all info on Ancestry and the family trees who are decended from her have the wrong info. Only because we as a whole cannot find the true info as of yet. Her name is Rebecca/Rebekka A. "Granny" Tipps Hise. Her mother is Barbara Awalt married to John Tipps who died in 1815. Rebecca was not born until 1826 so he could not be her father. Maybe Barbara is not her mother we are not even sure about that . I cannot find a birth record or death record for Rebecca which I have been searching for at least two years now. I am a member of ancestry with access to the records but there only a few (1830 census and her marriage to John E "Pink" Hise)records for her before she married and none after! his death in 1885. So any and all info I can find thru others like yourself is greatly appreciated. She is listed as the only "non_ family member" to recieve a bequest in Connors C Beans Will. I don't think they realized at the time that Connor had married a member of Barbara Awalts family which would make Rebecca actually releated to Connor if by nothing else ....marriage.Thanks again for your information I loved reading all that info !!!
