(II) Captain Lewis (2), eldest son of Lewis (1) and Mary ( Mills) Bean or Bane, was born April 28, 1671, and died June 25, 1721. He resided on the homestead of his father, and at his death gave it to his son John. He owned timber lands in both York and Wells, and was one of the proprietors of a sawmill in York. As measured by the standard of those days in York, he was a man of wealth. The York records contain copies of many deeds wherein he was grantor or grantee of lands. He was one of the most in- fluential men of York in his day. He was justice of the peace for many years; served on the grand jury many times ; was selectman many years ; was delegate to the general court at Boston ; was one of the commissioners ap- pointed by the Colonial authorities to lay out and define the boundaries of the townships as far east as Falmouth; was one of the commis- sioners who had charge of building the forts and blockhouses for defense against the In- dians; and was a captain in the militia which in those days meant a call at any moment to

defend the settlements from the Indian at- tacks. Captain Bean married, 1691, Mrs. Mary (Austen) Sayward, daughter of Matthew and Mary (Davis) Austen, and widow of Jonathan Sayward, of York. They had children as follows : Jonathan, Mary, Lewis, John, Elinor, Mehitable and Ebenezer. (III) Captain Jonathan, eldest of the chil- dren of Captain Lewis (2) and Mary (Aus- ten) (Sayward) Bean, was born December 14, 1692, and died December 6, 1777. He was a farmer and lumberman, being part owner of a sawmill in York. In 1745 the colony raised a force of four hundred and fifty men to protect the frontier from Berwick to Rockland. Jonathan Bean was commissioned captain and put in command of the garrisons from the Piscataqua to the Presumpscot riv- ers, with headquarters at the Saco blockhouse on the west bank of the Saco river in what is now the town of Dayton. He was granted seven hundred acres of land at the blockhouse, and lived there until after the dismantling of the fort in 1759, when he returned to York. As was the custom in those days the men of the garrison were engaged in farming and other pursuits when not called upon to fight, and Jonathan's children settled around the blockhouse where their descendants live to-day. He was also one of the original proprietors of the town of Sullivan. Maine. his share passing to his son Nehemiah. He was a lead- ing citizen of his time in both civil and mili- tary affairs, and at his death had a goodly estate to pass down to his family. He mar- ried, 1717, Sarah Nowell, daughter of Peter and Sarah (Weare) Nowell, of York. Their children were : Jonathan, Daniel, Marv. Sarah, Toshua, Mercy, Huldah, Abraham, Ebenezer, Nehemiah and Charles.
(IV) Ebenezer, ninth child and fifth son of Captain Jonathan and Sarah (Nowell) Bean, was born in York. June 20, 1737, and died in Limerick, September, 1824. He was a farmer near the blockhouse. In April, 1776, he en- listed in Captain Lane's company, in Colonel James M. Varnum's regiment of the Conti- nental line and served one year. For this service he received a pension in later life. Dur- ing his last years he and his wife lived with their son Charles in Limerick, and are buried in the private cemetery on the farm near Emery Corner. He married. in Buxton, June 27, 1766, Elizabeth Thomas, daughter of a member of the garrison forces at the block- house. Their children, order of birth not known, were: Charles, Mariam, Daniel, David and Lydia.
(V) Charles, son of Ebenezer and Eliza- beth (Thomas) Bean, was born at the block- house, January 5, 1767, and died in Limerick, June 29, 1847. As a boy he lived with a Dan- iel Moulton; of Scarboro. When a young man he went to Machias and worked in a sawmill. He then returned to Scarboro and bought of Daniel Moulton a one hundred acre lot of land (more or less) in what was then a wilderness, now the town of Limerick; for this he paid "50 Spanish milled dollars," and started to find his claim. The road beyond Gorham was a blazed trail. He located his land, started a clearing, put in a crop, built a cabin for his family and a hovel for his cow, and went back after his wife and baby, and in this primitive way, like many others, he started to make a living for his family. The log cabin was replaced with a frame house, the hovel by a large barn which stands to-day, and here they raised a large family, and as his children married he had the means to help each of them to acquire a homestead of his own. In these later days the farm is unoccupied, as the last owner could not get a living where Charles got a competence. He married, in Scarboro, June 10, 1790, Sally Cotton, daughter of Nathaniel and Hannah (Elkins) (Beck) Cotton, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He and Sally were Quakers, and not content with the task of bringing up their own fourteen children, they took into their family and brought up three of the children of their neighbors. Their children were : Catherine, Daniel, Nathaniel, Eli, David, Mary, Sally, Cotton, Hannah Elkins, Eliza Thomas, Charles and Sylvanus (twins), Ru- hamah and Nancy. Charles married, 1833, for a second wife Mrs. Abigail ( Harper) Watson. There were no children of this marriage.
(VI) Cotton, eighth child and fifth son of Charles and Sally (Cotton) Bean, was born in Limerick, March 6, 1804, and died May 8, 1868. He was one of the foremost men of his town. He was one of the many-sided men who being devolved by the needs of the times built up old New England. He started in life as a farmer, living first on the ancestral acres, then moving to a large farm at Emery Corner. In 1853 he sold his farm and moved to Limerick Village. He was one of the prin- cipal master builders when it was the custom to frame a building on the site it was to oc- cupy, using timber enough in the frame to construct a modern building, and then raise it by the united strength of all the assembled townsmen ; he was also a master dam builder and stone mason. After moving to the village

he engaged in the business of wheelwright, and as a diversion repaired watches and clocks. He was justice of the peace for many years, and filled other town offices. Upon the found- ing of the Republican party, he became very active locally in that organization, and was a member of the first board of county commis- sioners for York county, elected by the Re- publicans. He was a Free Baptist in religious convictions, and was active in all that helped to contribute to the good of his town and state. He married, in Limerick, December 7, 1828, Mehitable Brackett, daughter of Isaac and Margaret (Ricker) Brackett, of Limer- ick. Their children were: Isaac Brackett, Charles, Albion, Cyrus E., Ivory Small, who is next mentioned.
(VII) Ivory Small, youngest child of Cot- ton and Mehitable ( Brackett) Bean, was born in Limerick, October 17, 1841, and died in Portland, January 14, 1905. He was educated at the Limerick Academy and Lewiston Sem- inary, now Bates College. In the early sixties he went to Portland and entered the wholesale grocery trade. In 1872 he engaged in the wholesale fruit and produce business, and at his death was the leading merchant in his line, and in point of years the oldest in Port- land. He was a member of the Board of Trade, Portland Fruit and Produce Exchange, and Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange. He was also a member of Ligonia Lodge, I. O. O. F., Ivanhoe Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and of the Portland Club. In political affilia- tion he was a Republican. He married (first) in Thorndike, February 14, 1865, Felicia He- mans Shaw (see Shaw), who was born April 3, 1841, and died May 6, 1869, daughter of Dr. Albert and Eliza (Drew) Shaw. They had one child, Charles Addison, mentioned below. He married (second) July 30, 1877, Mrs. Delia ( Rice) Warren, who died Octo- ber 17, 1880; (third) November 14, 1894, Ellen Appleton Knowlton, of Hamilton, Mas- sachusetts, daughter of Ira P. and Esther (Appleton) Knowlton, who survives him.
(VIII) Charles Addison, only child of Ivory Small and Felicia H. (Shaw) Bean, was born in Portland, January 21, 1866. He was edu- cated in the public schools of Portland, entered the employ of his father in 1884, and in 1892 became the junior member of the firm of I. S. Bean & Company. Upon the death of Ivory S. Bean the company was incorporated, and the junior member of the old firm became president and general manager of the I. S. Bean Company, which under his charge is a flourishing concern. He is a member of Trin-
ity Church, Episcopal, at Woodford's; is a Republican in party affiliation, and has served two years as councilman in the city govern- ment. He is a member of the Board of Trade, Portland Fruit and Produce Exchange. At the age of seventeen years he became a member of the militia of the state and served five years, in what is now Company B, First Regiment. Mr. Bean is a constant student of good literature, takes much interest in his ancestry, nearly thirty lines of which he has traced to the immigrant ancestor, and is a member of the Maine Historical Society, the Maine Genealogical Society, and the Sons of the American Revolution. He is also a mem- ber of Deering Lodge of Masons, Hadattah Lodge of Odd Fellows, Bramhall Lodge, Knights of Pythias, the Deering Club, the Portland Club, the Diocesan Church Club, of Maine, and many others. He is one of the best known and best liked of the younger generation of Portland business men. He married, in Waterville, April 4, 1888, Lillian Etta McNelly, who was born in Clinton, April 19, 1865, daughter of William and Fanny (Hodgdon) McNelly (see McNelly). They have one child, Harold Cotton, born January 8, 1892.
BAIN This branch of the ancient Scotch family, previously alluded to, is a very recent importation to Amer- ica, and extended correspondence with mem- bers of the family still living in Scotland has failed to discover anything of the ancestry preceding what is here given.
(I) James Bain, a weaver by occupation, passed most of his life in or near Montrose, Scotland. He was born at Aberdeen or Caith- ness, in the northern part of Scotland. His wife, Jane (Mackay) Bain, was born about 1790 at Dun Lodge, in the parish of Dun, five miles from Montrose, and died July 6, 1864. Children: John, William, James and Jane, and all except the youngest son re- mained in Scotland. The eldest is still living at Montrose, at the age of eighty-five years.
(II) Captain James (2), youngest son of James and Jane (Mackay) Bain, was born April 15, 1829, in Montrose, and died Novem- ber 20, 1899, in Portland, Maine. He began life at twelve years of age as a cabin boy on board ship and followed the sea thirty-five years, when he retired. He loved the ocean and gave himself to his work with a devotion that brought him success. He was steadily promoted, and at the age of twenty-four was captain of his own ship, and later master of

The authorities on Irish gene- McNELLY alogy state that Colla - da - Crioch, who is number 85 on the "O'Hart" pedigree, had a son named Fiachra Casah, who was the ancestor of O'Niallain ; and that this latter name has been anglicised Nallin, Nealan, Neiland.

(I) Michael McNally was either pure Scotch or Scotch-Irish, probably the latter. From the best evidence now obtainable it seems that he was born in Ireland about 1752 and came to America with his parents, sailing from Cork and landing at Philadelphia. They settled in Pennsylvania. Evidently the father was a man of some means, as Michael had a fair edu- cation. The earliest knowledge we have of Michael backed by documentary evidence is the record of his enlistment in the Pennsyl- vania state regiment of artillery, May 13, 1777, as a gunner. In the published rolls of the state his name appears in Captain Bernard Ronan's company of artillery. The last ap- pearance of his name is January 1, 1781, in connection with the revolution, when he re- ceived depreciation pay. Late in life he was a pensioner and the United States pension rolls of 1840 give him as "aged 88 years." Many of his stories of army life are still cur- rent among his descendants, who say that after leaving the army he served on an armed vessel, but whether a man-of-war or a priva- teer is unknown. About 1784 he came to Maine and settled in the Kennebec country, but what were his reasons for leaving Pennsyl- vania and his family are not known. In 1785 he married Susan Pushaw, who was born about 1768, daughter of Abram and Margaret (Parris) Pushaw, of Fairfield, and settled in Winslow, now Clinton. Here on the banks of the Sebasticook he built a log cabin and made a home for his family. Nine children had been born when, in 1811, the mother was taken away by death. Upon the outbreak of the war of 1812 Michael's martial spirit was aroused, and although a man of sixty years he enlisted at Clinton, May 17, 1813, in Cap- tain Crossman's company of the Thirty-fourth Regiment of United States Infantry, and marched to the frontier. He received a severe wound in the collarbone at Armstrong, Lower Canada, in September, 1813, while serving in a detachment under the command of Lieu- tenant-colonel Storrs. He was mustered out in July, 1815. For this service he received a pension. About 1830 Michael McNally mar- ried Mrs. Jane (Varnum) Harriman, of Pitts- field. There were no children by this mar- riage. He spent the last year of his life with his sons Arthur and William. He died in Benton, July 16, 1848, aged, it is thought, about ninety-six. He was a man of superior education and strong intellectual powers. The
children of Michael and Susan were: Betsey, Nancy, John, Lucy, Arthur, William, Isabel, Susan and James.
(II) William, sixth child and third son of Michael and Susan ( Pushaw) McNelly, or McNally, was born in Clinton, April 24, 1799, and died in Benton, December 6, 1886. He settled in Benton after marriage and spent his life as a cultivator of the soil. He mar- ried, in Clinton, in 1820, Martha Roundy, who was born September 13, 1803, died in summer of 1903, daughter of Job and Bet- sey ('Pushaw) Roundy, of Clinton. She lived to the age of ninety-nine years and almost to the last retained a vigorous mind and body. It is from her recollections that most of our knowledge of Michael McNelly is obtained. On her ninety-fifth birthday, one hundred and seven of her descendants took dinner with her and were photographed in a group. An- other picture of five generations was also made, including Martha McNelly, aged ninety- five years; William McNelly, aged seventy years; Rosina Libby, aged forty-six; Grace Hinds, aged seventy-two years; and Margaret Hinds, aged one year. The children of Will- iam and Martha were: Henry, Isabel, Phebe, William, Hazen, Temple, Francis, Job, Mer- ritt and Martha.
(III) William (2), fourth child and sec- ond son of William and Martha (Roundy) McNelly, was born in Clinton, May 13, 1828. He has spent most of his life farming and lumbering. In 1854 he went to California and remained there four years, en- gaged in mining. Upon his return to Clinton he continued as a farmer and lumberman until 1872, when he moved to Waterville, where he worked as a carpenter in the shops of the Maine Central Railroad Company. After the death of his wife and the marriage of his children he gave up his house and went to Caribou. After his second marriage (1891) he moved to Massachusetts. A few years later he returned to Benton, and is now ( 1908) living there on a farm. He married (first) in Clinton, October 27, 1851, Fanny Hodgdon, who was born July 27, 1830, and died June 5, 1885 : she was the daughter of Thomas S. and Lydia (Libby) Hodgdon. (See Hodgdon IX.) He married (second), in 1891, Mrs. Harriet (Warren) Longfellow. His children, all by first wife, are: I. Rosina Hodgdon, born July 22, 1852, married George Libby, and lives in Boston, Massachusetts. 2. Per- ley Lamont, September 8, 1860, married Emma Hamilton and lives in Caribou. 3. Carrie Althea, June 1, 1862, married Wallace
