Biography ==Born in Asheville, North Carolina, John Bean visited Tennessee in the area that was the future location of Watauga, in 1762 on a hunting trip [according to some with Daniel Boone]. There, he built the log house, into which his brother, Captain William Bean moved in 1769. Sometime later, Lieutenant John Bean settled across the creek from his brother, on land close to the mouth of Boon Creek where it flows into the Watauga River. In Washington County Land Records, there is a significant land sale on February 2, 1797, showing that John Bean sold his 200 acres on the south bank of the Watauga River to Henry Messengale. Lieutenant John Bean married Elizabeth Henderson, sister of Richard Henderson. <ref> Clan MacBean in North America, Volume III, Second Edition, Revised 1995, by Joseph S.
