~• an interesting cultural convergence here: His wife Sarah Collins descends from the originally Swiss Reiff line that has first settled in Montgomery County PA. John Reed Bean is also of this line > on his father's side.

In 1886, John married the 14 yr-old Sarah Collins. John's father Jesse was alive and would soon be writing letters back to his brother Edwin Adams Bean. In these, Jesse often mentioned his many WV children. (See documents attached to Jesse Weber Bean's profile)
