The published genealogy, "The Richardson Memorial" by J. A. Vinton, says Charlotte was born in 1815, and was the twin of her sister Lura. However three census records indicate she was born 1818-1820. If computing from her death record, her birth date would have been December 17, 1817.
Charlotte was the daughter of Samuel Richardson and Betsey Goding. Samuel was one of the first settlers of Livermore Falls, if not the first settler.
According to the Richardson genealogy, Charlotte was one of about twelve siblings, some of whom died as young children. Three siblings died as young adults in 1838 or 1839, and a brother, Bemis, died in 1851.
Charlotte married to George W. Bean on November 26, 1839, and had four known children. An obituary notice showed their one-year-old daughter, Lura Maria, died in August 2, 1842. The census shows the other three children: George B. born about 1842, Emma J. born about 1846, and Eva born about 1860.
George made his living as a carriage maker. The 1858 landownership map shows that his carriage shop was located in the village of East Livermore, today called Livermore Falls.
George enlisted September 7, 1861, and died in prison on August 24, 1864.
Charlotte's daughter Eva died December 15, 1864. No records were found of the son George B. after he registered for the draft in 1863.
In addition to the 1864 deaths of her husband and daughter, between 1862 and 1868, Charlotte lost both parents, three siblings (Otis, Elizabeth, Charles) and a brother-in-law. By 1870 Charlotte may have had only one surviving sibling and one surviving child. Her sister Nancy moved to New York state.
In the 1870 census Charlotte and Emma appear living together in East Livermore, with no additional children. Emma later married John Carver. In 1880 she was with her daughter's family in California. Charlotte later lived with her married daughter in Somerville, Massachusetts. Emma preceded Charlotte in death.
Note: Samuel Richardson lived in the area that is today across the road from the Richardson Cemetery, about where the grocery store "Food City" is located. Adjacent to the store is Richardson Ave, and off that street is Bemis St and Otis St., roads named for Samuel's two adults sons, who preceded him in death.
