    Notes:

    John Teeter was born near Hamburg, Germany on the Elbe river in 1732. He emigrated in Nov 1767. He was also known as Johann Dietrich Bohm. John T. Beam was an Elder in the Lutheran Church at the time of his death. In 1801 he built a Lutheran Church building where now stands New Prospect Baptist Church. John Teeter Beam went from Hamburg, Germany to Geneva, Switzerland to learn the weaver's trade. There he met Rebecca Raynolds. She was of a good family, the niece of John James Rassaw, an eminent writer who died in 1778. Two of their sons, John and David, were born in Geneva. In 1767 they planned to return to Hamburg but there had been a great overflow of the Elbe River which caused a famine in that country. John and Rebecca with their two small children joined the immigration to America. They landed at Charleston, SC sometimes in November, 1767. Not being able to pay his passage, John Teeter contracted with Mr. Christy Eaker of Lincoln County to serve him seven years for paying his passage to the immigration commission. He was brought by Mr. Eaker to his home in Lincoln County. His faithful work so pleased Eaker that he was set free at six years and given an outfit for housekeeping. When John Teeter Beam came to America in 1767, the area west of Catawba River was included in Mecklenburg County. One year later, 1768, Tryon County was formed, including all territories west of the Catawba River up to the mountains. This county was named in honor of William Tryson, Governor of North Carolina. In 1779 Tryson County was divided into Lincoln and Rutherford Counties, with the dividing line three miles easy of Shelby, but west of the pioneer's second home-site on Buffalo Creek. In 1841 Cleveland County was formed out of upper Lincoln and lower Rutherford counties. In 1846 the southern part of Lincoln county became Gaston County, throwing the original home-site of John Teeter Beam to Gaston County. Hence, as all legal records show, John Teeter Beam never moved out of Lincoln County. The two home-sites now in Gaston and Cleveland counties, respectively. In 1790 John Teeter Beam (Pioneer of the Beam clan) received Land Grant No. 72 for 200 acres in Lincoln County on October 9, 1783, Located on Beaverdam Creek, Southfork of the Catawba, and Land Grant No. 79 for 250 acres in Lincoln County on the same day and same location. Both grants were entered on February 4, 1780. In 1790 John Teeter Beam purchased land from William Killian on Buffalo Creek, Lincoln County. This later became his home-site, about 1794, according to Aaron Beam. (see "A History of John Teeter Beam Generations" by L. Carl Beam, page 14). In 1794, John acquired the property that includes the site of the New Prospect Church from William Killian. John T. Beam did not engage in the American war (Revolutionary War); his trade being worth more at home to the soldiers than his service in the army. He well remembered the first blood shed for American Independence and many great incidents of the great struggle was handed down by him to his children. By his honest dealings and study habits he soon became a considerable land owner on Beaver Dam creek, in Lincoln county, where he run a farm in connection with his trade until about the year 1794, when he purchased the lands of William Killian on Buffalo creek, where the widow Susan Beam now lives. He built a corn and saw mill at this place where he was successful and continued to add to his means. The first slave he ever bought was in Charleston in the year 1800 when an African trading vessel landed there, and he bought Bristow, then a boy of about twelve years of age. The boy knew nothing of the English language and when one of his young mistresses commanded him to do something, not understanding her, he made an attempt to kill her with an ax. But one of her brothers knocked him down which Bristow never forgot. He became obedient and made a faithful servant and lived to be a ripe old age. In the year 1801 he built a small house of worship on the hill where now stands the New Prospect Church. This he erected for his own denomination-- Lutheran-- but as he was not prejudiced he always opened it to other denominations.


    Occupation:
    He also had a corn mill and a saw mill.

    Military Service:
    John was not a soldier but he is listed with the DAR as a patriot.
