About Margaret Bean

Margaret was an orphan would became indentured to Nicholas Lissen in England. She was brought over at age 12 with other indentured servants (including her future husband John Bean (MacBean). She was his 2nd wife after Hannah (Lissen) Bean died. Hannah was Nicholas Lissen's daughter, and some historical genealogies incorrectly state that Hannah and Margaret were sisters.

Hannad had 3 of John's children, and Margaret had the remaining 9. Until recently, many sources cited her surname as Edwards, either as a married name as a widow or as her maiden name. However, in about 2015, the family name organization Clan MacBean cite that her diary was found and gives her maiden name as Rees.
