Biography
Solomon Bean was born between 1812 and 1820. There is a controversy regarding his parentage:
- Clan MacBean in North America, Volume II, Fifth Edition, Revised 1993, by Joseph S. Bean, page 497, 587 indicates that Solomon is the son of Wamsley Bean, born circa 1770 and Elisabeth Bean, originally from All Saints Parish in Frederick County, Maryland, who migrated to Harrison County, Virginia, which became Barbour County, West Virginia. Bean-3722
- Clan MacBean in North America, Volume III, Second Edition, Revised 1995, by Joseph S. Bean, page 731 indicates that Solomon is the son of Solomon Bean, Sr. born 1776 in Ellicot's Mill, Harrison County, Maryland, and Elizabeth Kane, his wife, who were married in 1805 in Hampshire County, Virginia, (became part of West Virginia) Bean-3781
Solomon married Elizabeth Shillenburg. We know that they were the parents of at least three sons, born in Hamphshire County, Virginia (now West Virginia.) By the 1840's they settled in what is today Barbour County, West Virginia.
Children of Solomon and Elizabeth are:
- William Thomas Bean, born in 1837 in Hampshire County, West Virginia. Enlisted in Company H. 10th W.V. Infantry on November 11, 1862, died of wounds received at Winchester on September 19, 1864
- John H. Bean, born 1840, in Hampshire County, Enlisted in Company H, 10th W.V. Infantry on May 20, 1863, discharged on August 9, 1865. He moved to Lewis County, West Virginia, where he was listed as a Union Veteran in 1890. He died in 1899
- James Francis Bean, born 1843, in Hampshire County, Enlisted in Company A, 10th W.V. Infantry on February 1, 1862, promoted to Corporal, wounded in the chest and discharged May 7, 1865. Married Caroline Simon in 1866, and moved to Upshur County, West Virginia circa 1870. He was listed as a Barbour Union Veteran in 1890.
