ELLIS, BEAN

I have just visited Boone's Creek. I was looking for the locationwhere William Bean of "first family" fame first settled. Believe me! It was a challenge. I finally found the marker at a busyintersection which stated that Bean settled 1.6 miles to the east ofthe marker. I asked about a dozen people before a gentlemen was ableto help me. I found what was supposed to be left of a Bean building. It was on private property very near the Creek. I could barely seethe sign that was posted above the door of the cabin, but I couldmake out something about BEAN. Does anyone know the significance ofthis building or if this might indeed be a building relating to theBEANS of "first family" fame? I can't believe that this would not be dignated a historic site. With the development that is going on, I feel that this significantarea will soon be obscure.
