Hello,
Azariah Bean is my 4th great grandfather. He has been a bit of a brick wall for me, as I
cannot find any records on him other than a couple of land purchase records in Clay
County, Indiana. Have you found any information (anecdotal or otherwise) that might shed
some light on his ancestry? Did you find any connection between Azariah Bean and
Wamsley/Womsley Bean from Crawford County, Indiana?
I recently found through Y-DNA testing that my Bean ancestry is a very close match to the
Bayne family of Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, England. I am hoping to be able to
definitively trace my ancestry back to that area if at all possible. I am guessing that a
Bayne immigrated to the United States and at some point the spelling of the name evolved
to Bean. Bain, Baine, and Baynes are some other common variations. It might be
worthwhile to search the census records for all of these.
Anyways... any additional information you can provide on Azariah would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!
