I couldn't help but notice the name John Peaslee Bean Severance. My paternal great grandmother was a Bean and the name Peaslee (Peasley) comes in somewhere in my ancestry. My grgrandmother was Jennie E Bean, dau of Amos and Laurie Clark Bean from Salisbury, NH next town to Andover. Amos was the son of a Levi Bean. I suppose between Andover, Salisbury, Warner, Sutton, etc, we may all be related somewhere. Surnames: Colby, Stevens, Scribner, Bean for starters.
