September 29, 1726). They were to become the future Tennessee area's first permanent European-American settlers;[1] William was of Scottish descent and Lydia was of English descent.[2] Frontier settlerBean was an associate of Daniel Boone's and a fellow longhunter. In 1769, he built a cabin close to the junction of Boone's Creek and the Watauga River, near what is today Johnson City, Tennessee. Bean may have visited the site with Boone, or Boone and a friend, Richard Callaway, when exploring as agents for Richard Henderson, a land speculator who later played an important role in the early settlement of Tennessee.[3][4] Later that year, the first child of permanent European-American settlers born in Tennessee, Russell Bean, was born there.[5] Later lifeBean's cabin soon attracted other pioneer families, who participated in the formation of the Watauga Association, a semi-autonomous colony.{{Citation needed|date=November 2012}} After its formation in 1776, Bean was named a Commissioner of North Carolina's Washington District.[1] DeathBean died in May 1782 in Washington County, North Carolina (now Grainger County, Tennessee).[6] NamesakeLater relatives of Bean established what became the town of Bean Station, in present-day Grainger County, Tennessee.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.larkcom.us/ancestry/history/2427.cfm#1258 |title=Children of William Bean (c 1700 – 1780) | William Bean I Genealogy |author=Larry Kraus|publisher=larkcom.us|accessdate=2015-05-14}} 2. ^{{cite book|title=William Bean, Pioneer of Tennessee, and His Descendants|author=Grady, J.A.|date=1973|publisher=Grady|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=PpkxAAAAMAAJ|accessdate=2015-05-14}} 3. ^Ramsey, The Annals of Tennessee, 66-69. 4. ^Hamer, Tennessee: A History, 64. 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.waymarking.com/gallery/image.aspx?f=1&guid=a9fb555c-87bf-4bc6-ac2f-d181c74552f0 |title=William Bean's Cabin - 1A5 | Tennessee Historical sign |publisher=waymarking.com|accessdate=2015-05-14}} 6. ^name="wbean died may 1782 washington district north carolina 7. ^{{cite|url=http://www.beanstationtn.com/pages/history.html|title=Bean Station history}} Further reading
