Illinois Statewide Marriage Index shows G. W. Bean married Caroline M. Lane on 12 Jun 1861 in Johnson Co IL. She is thought to have been Caroline McClain, daughter of John and Lydia McClain of Weakley Co TN. According to a posting at the Bean Family Genealogy Forum, George was the son of John B. and Mary J. (Houser) Bean.

George W. Bean was born 24 Jan 1840 in KY, d 11 Apr 1915, and is buried in Freedom Church Cem, Williamson Co IL.
