Hi Mr. Hearl, No i have not. My Lewis Bean was born somewhere in Maryland in 1825 to unknown parents. I do not know if Lewis was his first or middle name. I next find him in the New Market/Mt Jackson area. It was there he married Hannah Sheets in 1852. I do not even know where he is buried. Carol -------Original Message------- From: G.

Carol, With your ancestors still in Frederick co. about 1800, the ones in Pittsylvania co., Va. and Bean Station, TN would be earlier relatives, as they were down there before 1800. Good Luck! G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.
