Eliza (Bean) Walton is a member of Clan MacBean.

Eliza Small Bean was born in 1858, the daughter of Dudley Bean and Elvira Jane Douglass. She was petite and often commented that she fit her name of "small bean". Eliza married Greenleaf Melville Walton in Jay on 18 Sep 1877 and they lived on Science Hill in East Dixfield, Maine where they operated an apple farm.

Disambiguation

Rose was born in 1859. She was the daughter of Dudley Bean and Elvira Douglas. Several family trees in Ancestry.com show her death date as 14 Jul 1940 in West Milan, New Hampshire when that Rose Bean is actually the daughter of a Caleb Bean from Bethel, Maine and not the daughter of Dudley and Elvira Bean. The "Rose" shown in the household of Dudley and Elvira Douglas Bean is actually their daughter Eliza.
