It is interesting to see from whom the children may have obtained their names. The first son was probably named after his grandfather, Obediah. The second, Fanny, was the name of the mother, Mary (Polly)'s sister. The third, Anna Byron may have been the name of the wife of Samuel Wilson's wife, the couple that raised Mary (Polly) and her sister Fanny. We know that his wife's name was Anna. The fourth, Russell Owen was the name of one of Samuel Beene's brothers. The fifth, Samuel Wilson, as with Anna Byron, was the name of the man who raised the girls. The sixth, Garret Kirk was Mary (Polly)'s brother. The seventh, Joseph Kirk, was the name of another of her brothers. The eighth, Mary Ann was the name of Samuel Beene's sister. The ninth, Robert Patton - Robert was the name of Samuel Beene's grandfather. The tenth, John Lemuel - Mary (Polly) had a brother, John, and Lemuel was the name of another brother of Samuel Beene. The eleventh, Martha Margaret M. was the one who wrote the book mentioned below and Samuel Beene had a sister, Martha. We cannot explain child No 12's name. Russell Owen Beene (born 1838) was in the Civil War, came home with a fever and lived nine days. He died 6 Mar 1862. Joseph Kirk Beene (born 1845) was also in the Civil War and died in a Union prison at Rock Island, Illinois in 1863.
Samuel and Mary Beene are on the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census of Marion Co. TN. Mary is on the 1900 census of same with daughter Sarah Walker and family. Mary (Polly) Kirk Beene died 21 June 1900 and is buried beside her husband in the Beene-Raulston cemetery in Sweeten Cove of Marion County, Tennessee. Their daughter, Martha Margaret M. Beene Walker (Margaret, age 14 in the 1870 census) has left a lot of memories, interesting stories and family history in her book "Reminiscences and Meandering Thoughts".
