William Bean

William Bean is a member of Clan MacBean.

William Bean of Brentwood, was a farmer and the old Brentwood maps show the location of his farm. William and his family were Quakers.

William married first around 1735 to Mary (unknown). They had one son, William Bean, born in Brentwood, in 1736. The date of his first wife's death in 1737 is established by a Deed in which he conveys to her his interest in his father's estate. The Deed was not acknowledged until three years later (William being still alive) therefore Mary had recently died.

He then married his first cousin, Margaret Dolloff. It is quite likely that William and Margaret lived for a time in Nottingham, because of a Deed executed on January 3, 1749 by Richard Dolloff, in which he conveys certain land in Nottingham "to my son-in-law, William Bean of Exeter."

William and Margaret had one son, Abner, born 1740 in Brentwood, who served in the Revolutionary War from September 1775 until November 20, 1779.

On July 22, 1710, three daughters of Catherine and Richard; Sarah (b. 1702), Margaret (b. 1704), and Abigail (b. 1706) were kidnapped by Canadian Indians and carried away to Quebec. They were in captivity for seven years before the younger two were ransomed and return home.

The oldest girl, Sarah, was married to an Indian before this and was not returned. Many years later, she became homesick for her family and returned to Exeter with her husband and five children, with the hope that they could live there. It did not work out, and the family returned to Canada.
