I, too, would be very interested in any information you have. The only information I have on Ralph is this: "The first Bean family in St. Mary's County, Maryland, was Ralph Bean and 3 brothers, Walter, John, and Robert. Ralph was a sea captain and boat owner who came from Southward, Surray, England. In addition to 4 brothers named, there was a sister Sarah who remained in England." I am a direct descendent of Ralph's brother Robert.
