Michael Mordica Martin Bean is the son of William M. Bean (born 1785) and Mary "Polly" Mauck Bean, who were originally from Frederick County, Virginia, and died in Winchester, Illinois.
Michael was born in Winchester, Kentucky. On January 8, 1849, he married Rebecca Ann Northcutt, who was born February 2, 1833 in Winchester, Illinois.
Micheal and Rebecca were very early pioneers in Atchinson County, Kansas. Michael served in the 13th Regiment of the Kansas Infantry, under Lieutenant William May, in the Civil War. He enlisted September 2, 1862 and was discharged June 15, 1865, at Little Rock, Arkansas.
Upon discharge, Michael had no money, as many soldiers had not received their pay during the War. He walked from Little Rock all the way to Atchison, where he received his Land Claim 13 miles west of that town.
Although much of the land along the Missouri River had been settled, the land he was granted was all open and wild country. One had to have a "dream" to succeed and he had it. He and his faithful wife, Rebecca, lay buried today in Round Mound Cemetery, near where they opened the wide prairie and made a home.
