| Notes |
- The following story appeared in the column A Journey Through Time, by Linda Reno, Contributing Writer, in October 18, 2012 edition of The County Times, a magazine published in Hollywood, Maryland and available online in 2013 at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/110493908/2012-10-18-The-County-Times:
Robert Martin Bean, born in 1853, was the son of John Henry Bean (1800-1858, son of Robert Bean, Jr. and Eleanor Hebb) and his third wife, Ann Clarissa Martin (1815-1886, daughter of John Henry Martin and Margaret Ellen Thompson) who lived near Piney Point. In 1860 Robert acquired a stepfather when his mother married Edwin Augustus Wilson (1834-1895, son of Joshua Wilson and Priscilla Hebb), then almost 20 years younger than his wife.
Older woman, younger husband, only child and money wasn’t a good combination. Robertand Edwin didn’t get along. By 1870 Robert had been sent off to school and was living in Charlotte Hall at the home of William T. Briscoe. It is assumed he was a student at Charlotte Hall School. In February 1879 Robert and Edwin got into an argument that soon spiraled out of control. Edwin hit Robert with a pair of fire-tongs
and then attempted to reach for his pistol, but Robert was faster. Robert fired two shots, one that hit Wilson in the throat and the other just above his right ear. The only witness to the fight was Ann Clarissa.
Robert was arrested but was soon released on bail. At the bail hearing "Dr. T. A. Lynch* stated in his testimony that he probed the wound in the skull to the depth of five inches, and the other to the depth of two inches and failed to find either of the balls, and was of opinion that Mr.Wilson would not recover.”
*Dr. Thomas Alexander Lynch.
The February 21 edition of the Baltimore Sun said: "The condition of Edwin A. Wilson, whose shooting by his step-son, Robert M. Bean, was narrated in our last paper, at latest accounts had shown no favorable symptoms, the sufferer still remaining in a comatose state, without power of speech or ability to make himself under stood. He is supposed to be gradually sinking... It was rumored in Baltimore yesterday that Mr.Wilson died on Tuesday last.”
Subsequent papers noted that Wilson had not died but “is still unconscious, paralyzed in the right side and unable to articulate.”
I have found no record of a trial taking placeand would have to suppose that Robert was not prosecuted as Edwin Wilson was the aggressor.
Ann Clarissa (Martin) Bean/Wilson died at Piney Point on July 9, 1886 and is buried at St.George’s Episcopal Church.
Edwin Wilson died January 29, 1895 at the home of his brother-in-law, John Morris Milburn (married Eliza Octavia Wilson). He too was buried at St. George’s Episcopal Church.
Robert Bean, who had married Julia Gardiner in 1875 (born 1856, daughter of Thomas Warren Gardiner and Catherine G. Ashcom), sold all of his property in St. Mary’s County in 1881 and moved his family to Baltimore where he worked in a hat factory. He died in Baltimoreon August 18, 1913. His remains were returned to St. Mary’s County and he is buried at St. George’s Episcopal Church. Julia and their six children remained in Baltimore.
