Jamie Ault Grady, genealogist, says first 13 children born in Jackson Co, Tennessee, last 3 in Alabama. Martha Bean says only last child born in Alabama. This is substantiated by the 1850 Alabama census.
James Madison Bean Sr. and his wife, Hollie Virginia Jane Swearingen, moved from Jackson County, TN in 1848 to Jackson County, AL where they settled and homesteaded 160 acres of land on Little Coon Creek.
From Findagrave.com:
James parents are unknown, he was sent to Jackson County, TN to live as a small boy. In 1828 he married Hollie Virginia, Jane, (Swearingen). They had 14-children born in TN and after a fire destroyed their home and killed their daughter Priscilla, they moved to Jackson County, AL where the last child, Margaret Angeline was born. The other children were: Nancy, Sarah Margaret, Mary Elizabeth, James Madison Jr., Eli Brantsford, Anderson Kelly, Allen Young, John Bender, two infants, Henry Harrison, and Eliza Jane Bean. James Sr. and family lived on the Big Coon Creek near Stevenson, Jackson County, AL. All of the surviving children were raised to adulthood here, and many of them married people from the same area. Jame's wife, Hollie along with other family members are buried at the "Old Haddon" Cemetery, along the Big Coon Creek with him.
