Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.,
Dear Sir:
I am desirous of knowing if Jacob Beam, my grandfather, served in the Revolutionary War. I wish to become a member of the D. A. R. I have written to the War Department and they find that the records in that office show that a Jacob Beom served as a private in the Revolutionary War. They say the collection of Revolutionary War records in that Department is far from complete, and suggest that additional information relative to this soldier might possibly be obtained from the Commissioner of Pensions. My grandfather, Jacob Beam , lived in Ohio at one time, but I know but little of him. Will you kindly assist me in this matter? Also my grandfather on father's side of the family was named John Coble . He came from Germany and settled in Guilford County, North Carolina . I am enclosing copy of letter received from the War Department.
Thanking you in advance for any assistance you may give me, I remain
Very truly yours,
Mrs. Sarah C. Coble Warner.

In my efforts to get my lineage I have been informed that there are several Jacob Beams from Pen. who were revolutionary soldiers. Also that the Beam family is mentioned in History of Montgomery Co. Pa. I understand his claim was rejected, as "not six months services" (for doing part work in Richland Co. for building a fort and giving the white families protection from the Indians.) Jacob Beam was my great-grandfather and his wife's name was Catherine Waldo. My Grand
