Hello,

According to my files, Alexander Hamilton Bean was the son of Samuel Bean
and Mary Bennett. The wife of Alexander Hamilton Bean was Jane Lucretia
Bennett, not Jane Hebb. Jane Bennett was the daughter of John White Bennett
and Elizabeth Loker.

This particular Bean family were Episcopalians.

Jane Lucretia Bean, 1830-1896, wife of A. H. Bean, dau. of John White
Bennett and Elizabeth Loker Bennett. (Trinity Episcopal Church Records,
St. Mary's City).

Alexander Hamilton Bean, 1826-1888. In the 63rd year of his age, drowned in
St. Inigoes Creek. (Trinity Episcopal Church Records, St. Mary's City).
