She had four brothers and a sister, named Captain Robert, William, George, Russell and Sarah . She died in 1799.General Notes
"The number of years that pioneer families lived in fear and suffered the atrocities from the Indians is shown by the massacre of Jane Bean, a daughter of Captain William Bean, twenty-one years after the family had moved to Bean Station! Jane Bean had gone to a nearby spring for the purpose of doing a washing when Indians hidden in a cedar thicket jumped out, killed and scalped her. The grave may yet be •seen in the rear of a barn near the public road, and is marked with a rough stone bearing the inscription, "Jane Bean, Nov. 12, 1799," now on the place of Mr. Ethelbert Williams, once part of the estate of the Cobbs at Tate."
