Origins of Jacob Beam
by Jim Beamn (Jim Beam Noe) on Saturday, November 1, 2008
Jacob L. Beam was born in Berks County Pa., an agricultural region west of Philadelphia. His parents were 1st & second generation descendants of immigrants who came to the new world to escape political instabilities in western Europe. Conflict of the time was the War of Austrian Succession (1740 – 1748) which decimated southwest Germany and the lowland countries of western Europe and displaced many people of Germanic origin. Their family was part of the burgeoning rural community in that region of Pennsylvania, today represented as the Pennsylvania Dutch. Whatever life and livelihood his parents envisioned for young Jacob and his close knit family of 3 brothers & 2 sisters was cut short by the untimely death of their father Nicholas, at the age of 29. Jake was 6 years old.
In this frontier era , when survival truly depended on ones ability to be self sufficient, no young family could stand such a loss alone. Widowed with 5 young children, Margaretha turned to her family to help carry on, and eventually relocated to live in Maryland, close to her brother Jost Myers. Jost was the oldest son and as was the custom of the day, he became the principal landowner for a good sized plantation in Frederick County MD, which his forbears had established. It is unknown whether Margaretha remarried, but the Beam children grew up in the close knit family community, on the Myers estate.
Like most remote family owned plantations of the era, the Myers plantation had to be relatively self-sufficient. Dairy cattle, fruit trees, grapes, cultivated tobacco as the principal cash crop and grains to feed the livestock and kids. Fermentation and distilling were vital and common practices on the plantations, most often rendering brandies & aperitifs from the fruits, “hard” cider from bountiful apple harvests and of course, grain whiskeys. The latter also generated some cash income. Considered safer to drink than the water, and having myriad curative and health promoting properties, Spirits held a vital and valued place in the society – and the cupboard.
Jost’s younger brother - Jacob Myers being unlanded, exhibited a keen interest in matters of commerce. Distilling in particular captured his attention, as a business enterprise which could make a man successful. Jake Beam, several years younger and likewise without substantial wealth of his own, was Myers’ admiring partner. Together they conducted the distilling business of the estate, until the day Myers felt the time to be right, and struck out to make his own fortune in the wild lands west of the Alleghenies.
The way west had been opened by 1775 when the likes of Daniel Boone and James Harrod cleared the Wilderness Road into Kentucky, traversing the mountains at the Cumberland Gap and heading northwest to the first inhabited settlements at Boonesborough and Harrodsburg. The colonies of the time - most notably Virginia, encouraged westward expansion by offering land ownership to hearty souls who would settle, clear a patch of land and grow crops. Jacob Myers seized the opportunity, and by 1778, had established his home place near the end of the Wilderness Road, just past Crab Orchard, on Dick’s River.
Jacob Myers’ true ambition was not farming, but rather the production of spirits, from the ample harvest of the settlers in the fertile new lands. His share of the production, “2 gallons for every 10 produced”, he resold to his neighbors and the steady stream of new arrivals coming over on the Wilderness Road. In 1780, when the District of Kentucky was organized into 3 new counties of Virginia, Jacob sought the elected office of burgess, “making free use of his whiskey” to win support. He was outdistanced by Ben Logan, indian fighter and compatriot of Squire Boone. Nonetheless, his enterprise continued, and in 1783, Jacob constructed a new grist mill near his distillery on Dick’s river.
The westward migration quickened when in 1783 George Rogers Clark defeated the English, and the new United States gained sole claim to the Great Northwest Territory which included Kentucky. The US continental congress began more aggressively recruiting immigrants to the west. Jacob Myers, frontier entrepreneur, took up land surveying. Between 1785 and 1792, he mapped and filed land grant claims in Virginia for over 145 tracts, encompassing some 30,000 acres.
Meanwhile back in Maryland, by the mid-1780’s, the thin Cumberland plateau soil was beginning to yield diminishing harvests, and Jost Myers knew their lifestyle might be in jeopardy. He realized the solution was to head south or west, and enlisted the aid of his brother. In 1785, Jacob claimed 800 acres in the name of his brother Jost Myers, of Maryland. Conrad Beam, Jake Beam’s elder brother, claimed an adjacent tract as bounty for his Continental Army service during the Revolutionary War. The area promised to be choice farmland, with deep rich soil, and good water. Located on a ridge by Hardin’s creek and “...on the headwaters of Pottinger’s creek”, the place for the continuing American Dream by the Myers / Beam family seemed assured!
Alas fate was again unkind. Jost Meyers died in 1787, never having set foot on Kentucky soil. Nonetheless, the family held to their patriarch’s vision, sold the Maryland farm and prepared to strike out for a new beginning in Kentucky. Jacob Beam is now a man grown, and a full member of the inner family circle, having married Jost’s daughter Mary the year before. So in 1788 six of the seven heirs, plus Jacob Beam, struck out for their new life in Kentucky.
They take the long overland route, down the Shenandoah valley of Virginia, along the Clinch river into Tennessee, then across the Appalachian mountains at the Cumberland Gap. The final leg, into Kentucky along the Wilderness Road and beyond was worse yet - being of simple dirt tracks and game trails. This arduous journey, made on horseback or afoot, with valuable possessions and supplies brought along in wagons, took 5 months or more. Jacob Beam and Mary, now with Jacob jr on her hip, made it to their uncle’s farm in Lincoln county, where they take refuge for awhile.
It is here in Lincoln county that Jacob & Mary Beam, now with 2 young children, are counted in the census of 1790. The extended stay here, short of their intended destination was due largely to complexities of gaining title to the land of Jost, which he legally claimed but never occupied before his death. The stay in Lincoln county also provided Jake the occasion to reconnect with his uncle Jacob, and observe his working, profitable distillery and mill operations – a lesson he would soon put to good use.
By 1792, the complexities of the frontier legal system having been overcome, and Jost’s “Promised Land” becomes a reality – as 100 acre tracts divided between his 8 heirs. Not the plantation they had envisioned, but it’s theirs. Jake and Mary travel on to their homestead in what is then Washington county, in the newly formed State of Kentucky.
The area is bustling with activity, as new immigrants from the east jostle for their new start. Large groups of Catholics, dispossessed of voting and property rights in Baltimore arrived in three major waves, after 1785. Basil Hayden led one group of 25 families, which settling in the vicinity of Pottinger’s creek, and were the Beam’s nearest neighbors. Boundary disputes were common, and many found themselves again homeless, as disputed claims and redundant grants could not be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction.
The Beam’s settled in, and now with 3 young mouths to feed, Jake and Mary needed all of their wits to make ends meet. They began farming the rich land, producing the staple Indian corn which grew so well there. Jake almost immediately set up his stillhouse, remembering his uncle’s success in Lincoln county. Through succeeding years, bumper crops of corn ensured a ready supply of ingredients. Business was good, and by 1795 Jacob Beam was known around the region as a master distiller. The Beams added acreage a little at a time until by 1810, Jacob Beam had amassed some 800 acres – finally realizing the promise Jost had portrayed 25 years earlier.
Jacob Beam expanded the successful distilling business, building his grain mill and larger facilities on the bank of Hardin’s creek. As the business grew, his products were shipped by flatboat down the Beechfork from nearby Fredericktown, and on to the southern river town markets and New Orleans. Jacob was also known to be a capable surveyor and road builder. On their farm the Beams raised predominantly corn, tobacco, cattle, fine horses – and children. He and Mary produced 12.

Beam Reunion History
At one of our past Beam reunions, my Aunt Jo Beam requested that I tape interviews with some of the older members at the reunion. One of those I spoke with was Aunt Berta, who has always been treasured by the family for her kindness and willingness to share family stories long since passed. Here is part of one conversation: Aunt Berta, what was your favorite Beam reunion memory? “Well, I believe the first one” When was that? “Well you got me on the date but it was out at Bernheim Forrest and Mom & Pop Beam, Wilmer and his father, and he had some help from some of his brothers. They all got together and called people on the telephone, cause a lot of them at that time you didn’t have to pay as much as you do now, ha. But they had a whole gag of people there. They were all Beam’s or Beam’s related. And ah, why they didn’t have them anymore was because ah, there was an awful lot of them smoked, and they drank beer and they didn’t want anybody to do that in the park. They didn’t think that was nice. So we didn’t want to go against the rules so we just quit going’ there. But I think we been all over Jefferson Co. and up in Shelbyville.”
________________________________________
Everything I know about the Beam Reunion was taught to me by my dad, Wallace Victor (Vic) Beam.
In his memory, here is what it meant to him as seen through my past experiences.
The Beam reunion has always been an important event in our lives. Having been born in 1961, I remember attending at Lincoln's Boyhood Home, Shelbyville, Bernheim Forrest, Bullitt Co. Fairgrounds, George Rogers Clark Park & New Haven, Ky. In 2009, Jim Beam Noe contacted me and requested that we make the Beam Distillery in Clermont, Ky. the home of the Beam reunion. The folks at Beam have been very generous hosts and the family is grateful for their interest in this annual event. Their help has allowed us to put both the Jim Beam and Joseph L. Beam families together for the first time in many years. It's amazing to see the younger generation grow their interest in the family’s long and cherished traditions.
The reunion is built around traditional family activities that have been passed down from generation to generation. A typical reunion usually proceeds as follows:
The sign-in where you get your "Hello" name tag.
That's right. A family reunion that requires name tags! There can be over 200+ family members there from all over the country. Old registration books still accompany the reunion organization and signatures from as far back as the mid ‘50s can be found. It’s interesting to see your parents signed into a reunion and your name isn’t mentioned…because you were not yet a part of their lives. Yes, your parents had lives before you.
After sign in, you proceed down the tables where you enter the annual contests that include:
What time the alarm clock will ring?
How much does the water melon weigh?
How much money is in the jar?
How many pieces of candy are in the jar?
Then, there are the prize entries for:
Country ham
Beam spirits of various types
Cakes
Donated items.
Once you're all signed in, there's time to spend with family followed by the traditional Beam reunion meal After the meal it's time for the kids to sign up for traditional events such as:
Sack race
Relay race
The limbo contests
Bubble blowing contest
Hula-hoop contest
Once the children are off to their games, it's time for the annual Beam reunion horseshoe contest. Being the Beam reunion horseshoe champion is a coveted title that goes back to the first reunion. Many a family reputation is on the line as today's generation competes for this ultimate prize.
Towards the end of the event there's the "family meeting" where all things Beam reunion are discussed along with preparations for the next reunion. Once everyone is gathered around, there are the traditional Beam reunion awards which include gifts for:
Who traveled the farthest to attend the reunion?
Youngest Beam present
Oldest Beam present
Family with the most members present
Most recently married
The final event of the day is the time honored tradition of the "Egg Toss". Yep, we toss eggs! Each family member chooses a partner. Two lines are then formed across from one another with your partner in front of you at about 5 paces. A raw egg is given to each team. The toss begins on one end and proceeds down the line to the last team. Once the egg toss reaches the end of the line, both lines take 1 step back. Each team attempts to toss the egg to their partner without breaking it. Many years, we have teams who somehow end up with what seem to be hard boiled eggs as they make their toss as far as 30 to 40 feet towards the end of the competition!
The team that completes the last toss without breaking the egg is declared the winner.
It's hard to put over 50 years of Beam reunions into one page but I think you get the picture. More than anything, the Beam Reunion is a celebration of family and a celebration of life. Those before us are given remembrances while the younger generations take the time to be with one another and form the bonds necessary for the family to carry on its traditions. It honors our family's bourbon making heritage and seeks to instill our family’s history and values into future generations. I think, silently, many hope that the art of making bourbon will be reborn in future Beam’s in order that the legacy is carried on.

The Beams, America's First Family of Bourbon.
By Charles K. Cowdery
Of all the families who claim more than one generation of whiskey-makers, none has been as prominent as the Beam family. To get some sense of how ubiquitous this one family has been in the American whiskey industry, imagine if every state government had at least one high-ranking official named Kennedy, or if every new movie starred at least one Barrymore.
Generations of Beams have been involved with the Jim Beam Brands Company, of course, but virtually every other current distillery has had Beams on its payroll at one time. Heaven Hill, for example, has never had a distiller who was not named Beam.
All of the Kentucky Beams trace their lineage back to Jacob Beam, whose surname was an Americanization of the German "Boehm." He immigrated in about 1752 and after living in Maryland and Pennsylvania, made his way to Kentucky. He sold his first barrel of whiskey there in 1795. Assisting Jacob in that enterprise was his son, David. There may have been other children, but all of the whiskey-making Beams descend from this David. Three of his four sons continued the family tradition of making both whiskey and more distillers. The Oldest Son.
The oldest and most prolific of these sons was Joseph M. Beam, born in 1825. He and his wife, Mary Ellen, had fourteen children and at least two continued the family legacy. The older of the two was the oddly-named Minor Case Beam, who worked at several distilleries before buying an interest in the F.M. Head Distillery at Gethsemane, in southern Nelson County, which he eventually renamed the M.C. Beam Distillery. In 1910 he sold his plant to the distillery next door, Taylor & Williams, which thereafter made Yellowstone bourbon in both facilities. Minor's son, Guy Beam, worked at a number of Kentucky distilleries before and after Prohibition. During Prohibition, he worked at a Canadian distillery that made Old Crow and Old Grand-Dad bourbon. Guy and Mary Beam had ten children. One of their sons, Jack, worked at the Barton Distillery for most of his career. Another son, Walter (known as "Toddy"), owned a Bardstown liquor store that still bears his name.
The other son of Joseph M. Beam who entered the family business was Joseph L. ("Joe"), a distiller at many different plants around Bardstown until Prohibition, during which he decamped to a distillery in Juarez, Mexico. Joe and his wife, Katherine, had nine children, all boys, seven of whom became distillers. Toward the end of Prohibition, Joe and several of his sons worked at the Stitzel Distillery in Louisville, and after Repeal he helped found the Heaven Hill Distillery. Joe's youngest son, Harry, remained at Heaven Hill as its first master distiller.
Parker Beam, current master distiller at Heaven Hill, never met the man he calls "Mister Joe," or Harry, although he recalls his father talking about them. After Heaven Hill, "Mister Joe" continued to move around. For a time he and two other sons, Roy and Desmond, made Four Roses whiskey at the Frankfort Distillery in Louisville. Later, Desmond became master distiller at the Old Kennebec Distillery near Frankfort. He also worked at Park & Tilford. Roy Beam stayed at the Frankfort Distillery. Eventually, two of his sons joined him there. One of them, Charlie, also worked at several Seagrams plants, finishing his career more-or-less where he started, making Four Roses, only this time at the distillery in Lawrenceburg where Seagrams still makes Four Roses Bourbon today.
One of Roy's brothers, Wilmer Beam, renewed the family's Yellowstone connection. Roy's other son, Jack, also worked there. The oldest of Joe Beam's boys, Elmo, had a long association with the Samuels family, first at the T.W. Samuels plant near Bardstown and later at Maker's Mark, where he worked for about a year, until his death in 1955.
The other two distiller sons of Joe Beam were Otis and Everett, both of whom worked at several Kentucky distilleries. Everett left the state to become master distiller at Michters in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, where he made both bourbon and rye whiskey in an old style pot still. Although Michters closed in 1989, some of the highly regarded bourbon made there is still available under the A.H. Hirsch name. Although the line started by Joseph M. Beam was prominent in the industry through the 1980s, no Beam of that line works as a distiller today.
The Youngest Son.
The youngest son of David Beam was John H. "Jack" Beam, born in 1839. He was 14 years younger than Joseph M. After working at his father's distillery until age 21, he built his own plant near Bardstown in 1860. That enterprise was successful for many years, but he lost financial control of it during the Panic of 1880, staying on as distiller until his death in 1915, at the age of 75. Jack's only child, Edward, worked there too and was supposed to follow in his father's footsteps. Instead he died, also in 1915, at the age of 42.
The name of Jack and Edward's distillery, and the name of the whiskey they made there, was Early Times. Eventually the brand, though not the distillery, was acquired by Brown-Forman. When Brown-Forman built a new distillery in 1955, in the Louisville suburb of Shively, they named it after what was by then their bestselling whiskey brand. Early Times continues to be a leading seller throughout the world.
The Middle Son.
The middle son of David Beam, his father's namesake, stayed at home and eventually took over the distilling operation begun by his grandfather. In about 1860, this David Beam (known as David M.) moved the family distillery from its original site in Washington County to Nelson County, to take advantage of a new railroad line. Many other distillers had the same idea, including his brother Jack. In those days whiskey was shipped in barrels, which weighed about 500 pounds each. Having your rackhouse a few yards from a railroad track made a big difference. Getting their own spur line, connected to the main line between Louisville and Nashville, helped Bardstown-area distillers like the Beams compete with their big city rivals.
As more and more Kentucky whiskey began to be distributed to distant markets, brand names became important. The first brand launched by D.M. Beam & Company was called "Old Tub." Other brands were the more evocative "Clear Springs" and "Pebbleford." David M. Beam had four sons. His two older boys, George and Tom, did not make names for themselves in the whiskey business. His two younger ones did.
The older of these was James B. "Jim" Beam, born in 1864, who became the most famous member of the clan. Jim worked closely with his father and younger brother, Park, at the family distillery. He was also close to his Uncle Jack, who was best man at his wedding.
David M. retired in 1892, at age 59, and passed control of the operation on to Jim and Park. Their sister, Nannie, was married to a man named Albert Hart, who also joined the firm. Jim and Albert ran the business and Park, as master distiller, made the whiskey.
Jim Beam had two children, a son, Jeremiah, and a daughter, Margaret. As soon as he was old enough (about age 13), Jere (pronounced "Jerry") was put to work in the family distillery. His sister, Margaret, married Frederick Booker Noe and one of their sons, Booker Jr., decided to become a distiller. He would eventually oversee the Beam Company distillery at Boston, Kentucky, and become world famous as the company's spokesperson, a role that is gradually being taken over by his son, Fred.
In 1920, the Beam operation was shuttered by Prohibition. After Repeal in 1933, Jere and Jim (by then almost 70) purchased the old Murphy Barber Distillery at Clermont, in Bullitt County, which was on the same railroad spur as the old site, but several miles closer to the main line. They built a new plant, reincorporated as the Jim Beam Company, and resurrected the "Old Tub" brand, adding to it a new brand called simply "Jim Beam."
They were joined in the new operation by Park Beam and his two sons, Earl and Carl, but the family simply didn't have enough cash left after the lean Prohibition years to keep the operation going. They found three financial backers in Harry Homel, Oliver Jacobson and Harry Blum. Homel and Jacobson eventually sold out to Blum, who in 1967 sold the company to American Brands (today known as Fortune Brands).
What Jim Beam experienced after Prohibition was repeated throughout Bourbon country. Veteran family distillers had the know-how, but not the wherewithal, to open and sustain new distilling enterprises. After they sold the distillery, Jim retired. Park went to work at the Shawhan Distillery in Bardstown, which later became Waterfill & Frazier. Jere, Carl (known as "Shucks") and Earl stayed on at Clermont, with Jere on the business side, Carl as master distiller, and Earl as his assistant. In later years Carl's sons, Baker and David, also went to work as distillers at the Jim Beam Company.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Bardstown, "Mister Joe" Beam and several other men were founding what became Heaven Hill. When their money ran out, they turned to the five Shapira brothers, whose descendants still own the company today. After World War II, Harry Homel, Oliver Jacobson and Earl Beam all departed the Jim Beam Company and joined Heaven Hill.
"It was a friendly split," says Parker Beam, Earl's son and Heaven Hill's present master distiller. "When Dad left Jim Beam, Carl told him 'Earl, I'll be glad to do anything I can to help you get started over there,' and it really was that way. For me, it has been that way with Booker, David and Baker. All of us have shared a lot of information and traded parts. Anything we could do to make both operations go, we were always glad to do it." At times, the two companies have deliberately bought the same equipment to make parts swaps easier. "At one time, we both had the same milling equipment," says Parker, "so if we needed a bearing or fan, we could get it from them. Mash cooker drives were pretty well the same too, so we could trade those back and forth. We have given them barrels when they were short. Anything we could do, any way we could cooperate with each other, it was always that way."
The first master distiller at Heaven Hill was Mister Joe's son, Harry. Earl Beam succeeded his cousin in 1946. Earl was followed by his son, Parker, who has the job today. Through 65 years and more than four million barrels of bourbon, Heaven Hill has had only three master distillers, all Beams. Craig Beam, Parker's son, expects to continue that tradition. "I feel really proud to be part of it and carry on the Beam name," says Craig. "When I started here at Heaven Hill my grandfather was still working and I worked with him and dad on the jug yeast and they showed me the yeast process. I grew up with Baker Beam and David Beam, and would go down to Jim Beam and try to get ideas from their processes too."
According to Parker and Craig, all of the Beams have been practical distillers, which means they propagate their yeast from a wild strain. The alternative is scientific distilling, which uses a pure strain yeast. All of the Beams use the same yeast, handed down from generation to generation.
As distilleries began to close down all around him in the 1960s and 70s, Parker Beam says he never regretted his career choice. "I always thought we would be around to the bitter end," he says. "If you do those things we Beams were taught to do, it seems we could always survive. I think it is because of the quality standards we were taught to maintain."
It is difficult to fully assess the impact of the Beam family on the American whiskey industry because it is almost impossible to imagine that industry without them. In no other field of endeavor has one family been so prominent for so long. The reasons for this are mysteries that we may never unravel. So we must accept them and do so gratefully. Some of the best whiskey of yesterday and today has been made by Beams. It is a tradition, one hopes, that will never end.
