1850 ShenCo census, pg 104: Lewis Bean, 25, Shoemaker, b. MD (Living with Dr. Robert and Abigail COGLEY)

1880 ShenCo Census: Louis M. Bean, 57, b. MD, Shoe Maker, Father b. Holland, Mother b. Holland Hannah, 44, b. VA, Father b. VA, Mother b. VA Charles, 14, b. VA Jos. F. G., 12, b. VA Louis Monroe, 6, b. VA

Lewis supposedly emigrated from Maryland, and I have not been able to find from where; or who his parents were. I did not find him in the 1850 census in Shenandoah County. So, I am not sure if he came to Virginia alone, from Maryland, or from another county in Virginia. Seems like I had better dig a little deeper. . I was aware that two children had died. I did not know four had. Thank you so much for taking the time to look these up for me. I really appreciate it.

Sherry, thanks for that tidbit on my family! Dr. Martin Hupp was a brother of my ancestor, Samuel Hupp! I have tucked away this bit of information, and will add it to my database.
