Notes

Nancy married Robert Bean about 1834.

From Crawford County, Territory of Arkansas, Mark Bean, Esquire made an affidavit as follows:

"Mark Bean . . . . depose and say that he settled in the county that is now Crawford County Arkansas Territory in the year 1818 and in 1819 moved to what was called Lovely's purchase and engaged in making Salt until the Treaty with the Cherokees in 1828 and removed back to Crawford County in the fall of said year 1828-remained until 1832 when he removed to Washington Co."

When the settlers of Lovely's Purchase were forced to move because the federal government gave the land back to the Native Americans, they were given up to 320 acres and this acreage could have been anywhere in Arkansas. This was a public land donation - 10 Statute, 308. On 1 Dec 1830, Mark Bean received 320 acres in Jefferson Co. AR in a public land donatio

After he moved from Crawford Co., AR to Washington Co., AR, he began buying land in Washington Co. in 1838 and continued to buy land until 1860, for a total of 960 acres.

Mark Bean's will was dated 4 Apr 1855. In the probate court of Washington Co., AR, the document, which was probated 22 Jan 1862, stated that Bean willed to his children Richard H. Bean and Eliza Bean his Estate at death of his wife Nancy Bean. The executor was Richard H. Bean and the witnesses were Renkind and E. W. McClellan.
