The Bean Heirs FOund-In the be-
ginning of the present century there were
three brothers, John, George and Celmore
Bean, who lived for a long time in Prince
Georges county, near the U. S. Navy Yard.
John and George finally located in Wash
ington city, where number of their de-
scendants still reside Colmore removed to
Palmyra, Missouri, thence to Arkansas,
thence to Bonham, Fannin county, Texas,
where he resided at the time of his death
all of his children except one son, Thomas
Colmore Bean, having died, without chill
dren, prior to his death.
The said Thomas Colmore Bean succeed
ed in accumulating an estate estimated to
be worth over $10O0,0OO, and died intestate
and without lneal heirs, leaving this large
estate by Inheritance to the ineal descen-
ants of his uncies Johns and Georges chill :
dren.
John Bean, the son of the said John
Bean, has grandchildren in the Mount Zion
neighborhood, of this county, viz: Mr.. BENZ
Bean, Mrs Henry B. Kisner and the chill
dren of their deceased brother, Montgomery
Bean, who, we understand, have retained
Messrs. Anderson & Bouic, well-known at.
torneys of the Rockville Bar, to advise them
in the establishment Of their claims, who
have already taken the proper preliminary
steps.
From what we have heretofore seen pub
lshed in the Washington Post, DIR. H. P.
Howard, of the Bean family, has been grant
ed letters of administration on the estate of
the late Thomas G. Bean by the Texas Court
which is considered at least some proof that
that Court looks with favor upon the evi
dence already adduced by the descendants
Of George Bean, who reside mostly in
Washington city, and from what we eau
-lsasa it will be no very difficult matter for
he descendants of John Bean to connec
with this chain of evidence.
This case has for the last six or sever
months excited considerable activity by
the search that has been made around here
in Washington and surrounding counties
for the true Beans, who are entitled 10 th
princely estate.
