General Notes: Husband - Jacob Beamer

---

He was a resident of Hagerstown, Maryland, and it is probable that he was the first of the name to seek a home in America where, it would seem, he landed about the period of the revolution. Switzerland is the source of the family.

He and two of his brothers came to America about 1770, and settled in Hagerstown, Maryland. It is supposed that they came about the time of the American Revolution, and that they were the first of the name to settle in this country. They came from Switzerland.
