Philo Bean is the son of Joel Bean and Sally Foster (Norton) Bean. As a young man, Philo left home and was gone for some years, the family not knowing where he was. Philo had become a brick maker in Readfield, Maine.
In 1813, he received a commission from the Readfield School District to make thousands of bricks to build a new Readfield School. The school was built on the present day site of the James Hazen home, and stood for over a century before it was demolished. "Jim" Hazen found a brick that had been inscribed before being baked in the kiln, reading "Philo Bean Readfield, ME 1813, Amen."
In late 1815, he returned home with his young wife, who was pregnant and in poor health. They lived with his parents until the baby was born, at which time the wife ( ?? Pinckney) died. Her given name is not known. Her child was Charles Bingley Bean, born October 8, 1815.
On April 11, 1818, Philo Bean married in Readfield, Mehitable Batcheler Judkins, (1792-1872), daughter of John and Elizabeth (Batchelder) Judkins.
They lived first at Readfield, where three children were born. In 1822, they moved to Parkman, Maine, where six more chidren were born, then moving to Maysville, Maine, where the youngest was born.
* At this time, Massachusetts included the section that was later parcled off to become Maine.
