Jeremiah was the second of six known children born to James Bean of Harlem (later China), Maine, and the second of five children born to James's first wife, Betty Robinson. He was married in Waterboro, ME on 22 October 1831 to Sarah Cammet, b. in Maine in 1801. In 1840 Jeremiah was living with his wife and three young children in Montville, Waldo Co., ME, and in 1850 the family was living in Monroe, still in Waldo Co., and now with five children. The Sarah Bean, wife of Jeremiah, who died in Jackson, Waldo Co., ME on 16 October 1857, aged 56, was almost certainly this Jeremiah's wife.

Jeremiah served for the Union from Massachusetts during the Civil War, and began service on 24 September 1861 with Company B, 22nd Massachusetts Volunteers. He is likely the Jeremiah Bean, aged 63, living in Searsmont, Waldo Co., ME in 1870 with the family of Joseph Dollief, aged 69. In early 1880 he was admitted to the home for disabled volunteer soldiers in Togus, Maine, but according to the 1880 mortality schedule he died of starvation very soon thereafter. The mortality schedule said he was married at time of death, so he must have remarried following his first wife's death. His children, from the 1850 census:

*James R., b. 1833

*Almira, b. 1835

*William, b. 1838

*Elizabeth, b. 1841

*Mary A., b. 1843
