Researcher's Notes

Clan MacBean of North America, Volume I, Sixth Edition, Revised 1992, by Joseph S. Bean states that Folsom is the son of Folsom Bean, born 1747, but there is enough documentation to the contrary. I am assuming that Joseph S. Bean, wonderful genealogist that he was, skipped a generation and that Folsom Bean, born 1747 is the grandfather of this Folsom Bean, unless I find evidence to dispute that notion, as well. jan gorman, May 17, 2017
