"Freeman F. Bean was the fourth child of Samuel Bean Jr. and Fanny Ufford. He was born March 11, 1831. When he was eighteen he went to California to pan for gold along with many others. A year later he returned with a "diamond" stick pin. Years later he gave it to my mother, Mamie Bean, with the admonition to always take good care of it because he had brought it back from the "Gold Rush." My mother kept it on the inside lid of her green velvet jewel box." (Marguerite (Bean) Fiske, December 14, 1998)
