Do you know of Bean Rock ???

Our sources for Bean Rock (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Bean Rock other than they indicate that Bean Rock would be found somewhere in Marshall County, Alabama.
