Jesse Bean was one of the honored pioneers of Bond County. He lived in section 35, Shoal Creek Township. He was born in Fentress County, Tn., right on the Kentucky line and part of the old home farm lay in Kentucky, April 13, 1840. Jesse Bean was twelve years old when he accompanied his mother, brother and sisters to Bond County. He had attended school in Kentucky, and was well infromed for his age on accounty of having met and listened to the converstationsof so many strangers as they tarried at his farm when passing through with thier stock. After his mother's second marriage he worked for his step father until he was 18 years of age, when he married to Miss Rachel Paine, a daughter of Elisha and Annie (Fenton) Paine. He rented a farm on which they moved in 1860, later moving to a forty acre farm owned by the mother on which they lived until 1875, when he bought forty acres on section 35, all heavily timbered at the time. and here has made his home ever since. After his log cabin was built he began to clear the land for improvement, put in crops as soon as possible, then bought more land, clearned it and this way accumulated 120 acres. For thirty years he was a breeder of fine horses and mules and he recalled that his best horse was a cleveland bay. He took an interest in that stock and at one time had seventeen fine specimens.
