• Name	Sarah Rudolph
  Gender	Female
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	From "Sketches of the Life of J. T. Beam and his Fifteen Children" by A. R. Beam (1898): The Rudolph family traces their ancestors back to about 1300, when Rudolph became Emperor of Germany under peculiar circumstances. He was a Swiss Baron, the owner of thirteen Cantons. He was Steward of the House of the King of Bohemia. The Electors at Hamburg disagreeing made Rudolph their Emperor and he made his only surviving son Duke of Austria, which Goodrich says the Rudolph family held the Imperial power until 1830. Tradition teaches us that many mechanical traits have been handed down from the Rudolph family, as we find that Rudolph the II would spend whole days in gun and clock shops and other places gathering the arts of improvement, sometimes neglecting the duties of State. The first marriage of J. T. Beam to Miss Rebecca Ranyalds, of Geneva, Switzerland, was about the year 1764. The custom of that country then was to pay five shillings for a bill of sale for the wife to the Court of Ordinary. The original bill of sale is yet in possession and at the house of (the) widow (of) Frank Beam, of Lincoln county. There is no account of any of the Ranyalds family ever coming to America. If any of the younger generation wishes to trace further the family of Beam, of Hamburg, Ranyalds. of Geneva or Rudolph, of Hamburg or Austria. the foregoing dates will start on a direct line of their ancestry. Died at age 85.
