Biography

David Bean is a member of Clan MacBean.

David Bean is the son of Daniel Bean and Ann Sanborn Bean. From The History of Raymond, N.H by Joseph Fullonton, published in 1875 comes the following profile:

• Bean Family. The earliest and largest family of this name in town [Raymond] was the one south of Freetown Mills. It has been about 123 years since the first member came here. The first was David, who was born, 10 Feb 1725, in Kingston, where, at the age of 23, he married Mary Judkins. He settled in Epping, then came to this town [Raymond] near Freetwon Millis, 1752. He was not here many years, but went to the Island in Candia [N.H.] His descendants are there now. Rev. Moses Bean of Candia village, was also a descendant. Those of this family in Candia have been enterprising business men, and good citizens. The Bean family in Raymond, nearly related, have been about equally so.

Researcher's Notes

More about David and his descendants through Reverend Moses Bean may be found in the Proceedings of the John Bean (1660) Association, at its annual reunion, by the John Bean Association, published in 1896, in an article entitled The Beans Island Beanes, Candia, N.H. beginning on page 39.
