557 he is reported "at rest" meaning retired. The next household listed is that of Richard Duck, 40; wife Jane, 34; and their 7 children: George (M, 14), Melvin (M, 12), James (M, 10), Robert (M, 8), Nancy (F, 4), Mary (F, 2), and Jane (F, 3 mos.). Unknown how or if this family is related, but it is possible that Richard is a son - perhaps even the son that was living next door to them in 1850 in Georgia. It's a bit of a stretch, but possible.

563 He sailed from Cherbourg to New York. Not sure how long the trip was, or his itinerary. Note that he was not sailing with his then wife, Marguerite.

John Bean was a soldier and present at the battle of Worcester 3 September 1651 under the command of David Leslie. When Oliver Cromwell's New Army defeated Leslie's Jacobite forces of King Charles II at Worcester John was amongst the 10,000 taken prisoner. John was likely forced to march from Worcester to London. Most Scots were held through the winter at Tuthill Artillery grounds may dying of cold and starvation. In 1652 John was one of 272 Scotish Prisoners of War shipped to the American colonies aboard the ship "John and Sara. On 2-24-1652 John was sold on the auction block as indentured servant at Saugus House Iron Works to Nicholas Lissen of NH. John would go on to be held in high regard by his master and married Nicholas's daughter Hannah. John would go on to care for his master until his death.

It is believed John was approximately 15-16 when he participated at the battle of Worcester and that he may have followed an older brother in to service.

Hannah Lisson died and John then married Margaret Edwards. It is believed that Margaret had been an orphan on the same boat from Scotland in 1652, and had been in service to the Lisson family since that time.

"Redpath Chautauquas -- true caravans of culture -- have, since 1904, been blazing the trail of advanced thought and superior diversion. No better appreciation of Redpath service and Redpath ideals could be expressed than through the contract renewals which have come almost unanimously since circuit chautauquas were launched by Keith Vawter. Redpath 'Redskins'--Nomads of Knowledge--have popularized the Canvas College. The 'tepid teepees of temperament' are becoming less temperamental and decidedly more human. Our folks of the platform are worthy descendants of the pioneers who have been immortalized by history's tribute to Chautauqua Institution. REDPATH--The Name with a Fame" ~Two-page ad with caption "Wigwams of Wisdom - Teepees of Temperament" from The Lyceum Magazine, August 1924.
