From Cutright's "History of Upshur County," originally published in 1907. "CHARLES BEAN, merchant at Beans Mill, 15 miles south of Buckhannon, is a native of the County. Born in 1856, his parents were Henry Bean and Julia a. Bosley, who immigrated from Hampshire County to Upshur County in 1852, Mr. Bean was raised on a farm and in the mill now owned by him. He has been a successful merchant as well. He married Isabella Phillips, daughter of Lafayette Phillips, and to this union have been born three children whose names are Wesley, Floyd, Lavidia. GABRIEL BEAN is the son of Henry Bean, who immigrated to this County from Hampshire County. The father was a millwright and a miller, and built and operated the first mill at what is now known as Beans Mills. Mr. Bean married Ladassa Burr, daughter of Eldridge Burr, Jr., and to this union were born eleven childres, Iona, wife of Willis Loudin; Biddy, wife of Dow Bosley; Adda, wife of Frank Kutt; Maud, wife of Thomas E. Cunningham; Minnie, wife of David McCann; and (the unmarried), Effie, Flossie, Charles, William, Cleveland and Benjamin. Mr. Bean was a soldier in the Civil War, being a private in the Upshur Battery, Company E, Light Artillery. He served throughout the war and is now a pensioner. He has been a faithful, loyal member of the U. B. church at Indian Camp for thirty years, and class leader." I hope this helps. Buzz Brake Tacoma, WA
