In his "Autobiography of George Washington Bean," he traced his family to William and Naomi (Bates) Bean of Laurens County, South Carolina. George contributed to the works of Clan MacBean in North America, by Joseph S. Bean, and his biography is entered in Volume III, Second Edition Revised 1995, page 332-333.
George is the son of James Bean and Elizabeth (Lewis) Bean. His sister, Nancy Bean was one of the thirty wives of John Doyle Lee, an adopted son of Brigham Young. George took four wives to himself and was the father of thirty children, all born at Provo, Utah. He had more children than any other "MacBeans" of record in North America.
There is a photograph of George, the names of his wives and links to the memorials of 21 of his thirty children on his Find A Grave page here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=19023281
