startled him more than it would to have heard a bear. In the summer of this year, he took a fever, and was sick in his camp, with nothing to take but cold water. Captain Moody called to see him, and insisted upon his going home with him. Mr. Bean, being unable to sit up, Captain Moody threw his bed blankets upon his horse, and laid him on them, and thus conveyed him to his home, where Mrs. Moody nursed him through his fever. In the au- tumn Judge Smith returned from . Meredith and passed the night with him at his camp. He there had potatoes of his own raising, and they raked open the coals and roasted and ate them, passing a very social evening. When Mr. Bean came up in the spring of 1767. he drove up a cow, which he kept upon the meadow, having her calf enclosed in a pen by the side of it. One night as he went down to the meadow to milk, a bear came along his path, apparently in search of the calf, and, not seeming intimidated. it turned out till it got by him so that the wind brought the scent from him to- ward the bear, when it started upon the leap. Mr. Bean hooted at it as it ran, and he could hear it for nearly half a mile, the brush breaking at every leap. When Mr. Bean came up in March. 1768, he was ac- companied by a carpenter to frame his house, and he brought three pecks of flax-seed upon his shoul- der from Brentwood. In the winter of 1780, at the close of his days work in his saw mill. he had the misfortune in shutting down the gate to have his leg broken by the water wheel. His situation was precarious, and no help was near. It was with great difficulty that he could extricate the broken limb. And then the saddle was in the mill. with which he rode a colt only partially trained. It required great labor to obtain the saddle and adjust it upon the wild colt, and it was with still greater difficulty that he could mount the animal, so frightened by his awkward appearance. But these difficulties he over- came, and rode to the house of Joseph Young, Esq., and immediately after telling his misfortune he fainted, even before he could be taken from his horse. He was conveyed home upon an ox sled, and liis limb set by a surgeon. but about a year after- wards, it was unfortunately fractured again in the same place, at his own door. It was now dressed and the bones confined in their proper place by Jo- seph Young. Esq., and it healed and did even better than before." Mr. Bean's hrothers Joshua, Gideon and John, and his sister Hannah, were all early . settlers of the town. He married. December 26. 1768, in Exeter, Joanna Young. of Exeter, and they were the parents of twelve children: Hannah. Jos- eph, Sarah, Isaac. Joshua, Deborah. David, Anna. Jonathan, Simeon.

He was one of the first settlers on the west side of the Blackwater river, and locating on the upland near the Fitz meadow he built a log house just southwest of D. R. McAllister's residence. He was a member of the Society of Friends, and therefore would not sign the Test Act, but he possessed a far-reaching in- fluence in all matters pertaining to morality and re- ligion, and was chosen member of the committee formulated for the purpose of selecting a site for the first meeting-house in Boscawen in 1,67, of which he was an elder.

Ile was the ancestor of the families of his name in the town of Sutton. By purchase he became owner of a whole right or pro- proprietor's share, which consisted of three different lots. The "History of Sutton" says: "On these three lots he settled three sons, Cornelius, upon the lot best known as the Dearborn Meadow farm, lying in the western part of the town and extending over the line into the Newbury of today: Samuel, upon the lot embracing the western part of the Wadleigh hill and Meadow Brook farm: and upon the large lot embracing the southern part of King's or Bean's
hill, and extending across the valley, taking in a portion of the next hill, he settled his youngest son, William. At one time he owned liere connected, nearly or quite. four hundred acres. He was pre- paring to move to Sutton and spend the remainder of his days in the new town he had taken such an active interest in when he died." The circumstances of his death were as follows: He and his daugh- ter Elizabeth came on horseback from their home in Sandown. to visit his children living in Sutton, and stopped over night in Hopkinton. In the morn- ing he went after the horses, and not returning, his daughter went after him. She found him dead before reaching the horses. He was buried in the old cemetery in Hopkinton. He was a man of great energy, capacity, knowledge and experience. It ap- pears on the grantees "records of Sutton that Sam- uel Bean, Benjamin Kimball and Thomas Wadly were chosen at a meeting held at Plaistow to find out and repair the roads." His name is fre- quently mentioned afterward in the town records. In 1781 he with Matthew Harvey, father of Gover- nor Harvey, were chosen a committee "to buy beef for the army." He was selectman in 1777-78-79. He is said to have been the first man to drive a team into Sutton. He was in the habit of going to Sut- ton and spending the summers there to assist about the work after his sons had settled there, and the manner in which he was accustomed to notify all the neighborhood of his arrival was to go on the hill in the morning and sing. He had a voice of wonderful power and sweetness, which could be heard (it is said) three miles, and when his frends who were settled in the vicinity heard it, they rec- ognized it at once, and would hasten to greet him and hear the news from their old homes. Several of his descendants have inherited his peculiar qual- ity of voice for singing.
