General Notes: Husband - Henry Beam

---

This family, which is of German origin, was established in Pennsylvania. About 1826 Henry Beam removed to Centre County, where in the midst of an almost unbroken wilderness he made his home until 1833. That year witnessed his arrival in Clearfield County. He located in what was then Morris township (later Cooper), and first purchased 100 acres of land, to which he later added a like amount, and still later a fifty-acre tract. Of this, he cleared and improved 130 acres, making it one of the most desirable farms in the locality. He made a specialty of wheat, which he would carry over the mountains and market at Milesburg, Centre County. He and his wife were members of the United Brethren Church, and in politics he was a Democrat.

He and his wife were born, reared and married in the Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. [CBRCP-CCJC, 906] Another source states Lancaster County.
