Biography

Timothy was a Friend (Quaker)

Timothy Beans (Bean, Banes or Baines) was born in 1712, the son of William and Elizabeth Beans of Southampton, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.[1] His father, William 'Baines', immigrated to the Pennsylvania colony in 1687 and was taken into the Quaker community of Chester County as an orphan.[2] Timothy was raised in the Quaker tradition and remained a committed Quaker throughout his life. Timothy and his eight siblings were named in the 1771 will of their mother who was a resident of Southampton Township, Bucks County.[3]

Timothy Beans removed to Solebury township in 1738, joined Buckingham Friends' Meeting [Quakers] and married Rebecca Paxson, sister to his brother Mathew's wife. He relocated to Tinicum township in 1755 and in 1783 migrated with his wife and sons James and Amos to Fairfax County, Virginia. [1]

On 16 August 1739, Timothy married Rebecca Paxson at the Buckingham Meeting House in Bucks County, Pennaylvania[4] daughter of Henry Pasxon and Ann (Plumley) Paxson. Timothy and Rebecca had at least seven children, as named in his Will, though there were probably more, some of whom remained in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The names of the children we know at this time are:

On 1 March 1784, Timothy requested and received a Quaker transfer certificate for his family from the Buckingham Meeting, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to the Fairfax Meeting, Waterford, Loudoun, VA. The Record names his wife Rebekah and sons James and Amos.[16] He joined his oldest son William who had migrated to Fairfax County, Virginia a decade earlier in 1773.

In 1784 James Moore of Loudon County, Virginia assigned the lease of his 166 acres plantation to Timothy Beans for £50 Virginia specie and two £50 bonds. The property sat adjacent Catoctin Creek, north of the Great Wagon Road, in the vicinity of what is now Purcellville.[17][18]

Timothy leaves his Plantation to his wife and son Amos, and five shillings to each of the others. According to the terms of his will, Timothy's wife [Rebecca] was to receive half the plantation as long as she lived and then her share was to go to Amos.

Timothy Beans died on 29 September 1801[21] in Purcellville, Loudoun County, Virginia His will was proved on 14 December 1801 [20] (see attached image). The Will is signed with his mark. His name is signed over his mark as "Timothy Beens." [Note: this is how some of the names of families are "changed" over the years, depending on how the clerk writes the name for the individual.]
