Life, Crime and Capture of John Wilkes Booth

[Jenny]

Great information, Jenny, and I love the illustrations. Wonder if the widow Bean had married into the family by that name in Southern Maryland. Beantown no longer exists, but it was the closest village to Dr. Mudd in 1865.

I think I read that William Bean was born in Pennsylvania but I don't have anything to back it up, unfortunately. They lived in Norfolk, VA, until his death.
