Thomas Beeman^1,2,3,4,5

• Charts: Descendants of Alice Freeman Chart, Alice Freeman to Warren Alfred Beeman, Ancestors of Warren Alfred Beeman, Thomas Beeman, Descendants Chart, Darcy Beeman

• Thomas Beeman was born between 1680 and 1690.
• He married Phebe Parke, daughter of Nathaniel Parke and Sarah Geer, at Preston, New London Co., Connecticut, in 1712.⁶
• Thomas Beeman died on 15 November 1750 at Kent, Litchfield Co., Connecticut.⁷
• He was buried at Kent Hollow Cemetery, Kent, Litchfield Co., Connecticut.⁸

• The progenitor of just one of a number of lines of "B'mans" (Beeman, Beman, Beaman, Bement) in America, Thomas's own origins and parentage remain undiscovered. He is first found in Preston, New London Co., Connecticut and was one of the first settlers of Kent (later in Litchfield Co.), Connecticut in the 1730s.
• Thomas resided at Preston, Voluntown, and Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut and Kent, Litchfield Co., Connecticut. His descendants have spelled the name as Beeman, Beaman or Beman. In the 1790 census records, many of Thomas's descendants (grandchildren) still in the towns of Kent and Warren are recorded with the name spelled as Beamont. Thomas Beeman's origins and the identity of his parents has yet to be discovered. Judging from his date of marriage and death, he probably was born towards the end of the 17th century, and probably in either England or the New England Colonies. Some have suggested that he is the Thomas Beeman (b. 1660) son of Simon Beeman (Beman) of Springfield, Mass., but that places this Thomas at age 55 when his first child was born, and at age 79 (in 1739) when he would have first headed off to start a new homestead at Kent, Conn., then an unsettled wilderness. There was also no other known migration of Springfield, Massachusetts families to the Stonington, Connecticut area in the mid 1600s. Stonington was settled by families from towns in nearby Massachusetts Bay and Rhode Island. Norwich and Preston were settled by families from Wethersfield, some by way of Saybrook, Connecticut. Thomas has also been said to be a son of a Capt. Daniel Beeman (b. ca. 1655, Gawsworth Parish, Chester, England; d. 20 Dec 1741, Ekonk, New London, Conn.) who is said to have Captained the "King" and was in and around Norwich, Connecticut in 1680, and whose gravestone was seen in Ekonk, near the Voluntown/Preston, Conn. line, by Beeman researchers in the 1880's and early 1900's. Little else seems to be known about Daniel however, and there is no direct evidence that Thomas is his son. The other early New England Beemans include brothers John and William Beaumont (John's only son John (Bement) settled in Enfield; William settled in Saybrook, had one son Samuel and seven daughters); Gamaliel Beeman (Beaman, Beman) who came to Massachusetts at age 12 and lived in Dorchester and Lancaster, Mass., and had a son Daniel who died in 1741 without children; and a Thomas Beamont of New Haven who died there in 1686 without children. It is very possible that our Thomas Beeman does not belong to any of these families, he may have come from England as a young man, possibly in the service of one of the families in the area of New London, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Thomas first appears himself in the records of the time when he married Phebe Parke in 1712 at Preston, and buys and sells some land in Voluntown, New London Co., Connecticut in 1715 and 1720. He was in Stonington in 1716 when he bought 9 acres of land there from John Preston. His eldest four children were baptized at Preston in 1715, 1719, 1721 and 1722. On 7 Mar 1738, "Thomas Beman of Stonington" went to the auction at Windham, Connecticut where he brought one share (1000 acres) in the new town of Kent, in the then western frontier of Connecticut. Thomas settled his family there in 1738, and over the course of the next twelve years of his life was involved in numerous land transactions there.⁹
• He was found on the tax list at Kent, Litchfield Co., Connecticut, in 1744 at 66-0-0.¹⁰

• Gwen Boyer Bjorkman, Descendants of Thomas Beeman of Kent, Connecticut, offers the following thoughts on the origins of Thomas Beeman (we both, independently, have come to many of the same conclusions): Thomas Beeman first started appearing in records as an adult. His origins are unknown at this time. He was married to Phebe Parke, probably at Preston, Connecticut by early 1715 and four of his oldest children were baptized there (Thomas, 1715; Ebenezer, 1719; Daniel, 1721; Ruth, 1722). Phebe's father had been living at Shelter Island, New York shortly before the estimated date of her marriage, so it is possible that Thomas Beeman was from New York. He was of Preston, Connecticut, when he purchased property in nearby Voluntown in November 1715 and he sold it in April 1722. I don't know if he ever actually lived there. In April 1719 he was granted nine acres in Preston by the town proprietors. This property was laid out to him in July 1721. In the meantime, he had purchased property in Stonington in 1716. In February 1723, while still of Preston, he sold the Stonington property and also the nine acres he had been granted in Preston. Later that year, he was of Stonington when he purchased 100 acres there.
  In October 1734, the general assembly held at New Haven passed an act that would allow settlement in an area bordering westerly on the Housatonic. As a condition, purchasers had to agree to build a house at least 18 feet square within two years and fence a portion of the property. Thomas began acquiring property in Kent early in 1738. He was still of Stonington as late as May 1739 when he was granted and traded property in Kent. The first record I found in which he was of Kent was a deed signed in July 1741. He continued buying and selling property in Kent over the next few years and there was one deed to a Thomas of Litchfield, who could have been this Thomas or it may have been his son. Connecticut deeds are maintained by the towns rather than the county. It would be worthwhile to look at deeds in some of the neighboring towns. He deeded property to his sons, generally worded something like "for divers causes and consideration, but more for the parental love and affection".The last deeds I saw for him were dated in the fall of 1750.
  Several articles have stated that Thomas was the son of Simon and Alice (Young) Beman of Springfield, Massachusetts, but I'm pretty sure this is not the case. If it were true, Thomas would have been 52 years old when he married and 78 years old when he packed up his family and moved to the other side of Connecticut. There is some evidence that the Thomas who was the son of Simon had died without having children, since he did not figure in the estates of several of his brothers. Simon's oldest son (also Simon) left a will in 1711 in which he mentioned his brothers Daniel and Samuel and Lemen, the son of his brother Josiah. In1741, Simon's son, Daniel, died and in 1750 his administrator was ordered to pay to the children of Daniel's deceased brothers Samuel, Josiah and Benjamin and deceased sisters Ruth Miller, Abigail Baldwin and Mary Miller. The brother, Samuel, had been in Windsor and later settled in Simsbury, Connecticut. Abigail, who married Obadiah Baldwin settled in New Milford, Connecticut (next to Kent).
  It could be that our Thomas was one of Simon's grandchildren, rather than his son. It looks like Josiah was the only one of the three brothers with children who was married early enough to have been Thomas' father. There are also several other possibilities: William, who married Lydia Danforth in 1643 and settled in Saybrook, Connecticut (one son, Samuel, born 1657); John, who lived in Salem and had at least two sons, one of whom was John, who married Martha Dennis before 1667 and moved to Enfield, Connecticut in 1682; and Gamaliel, who was twelve years old when he came to New England in 1635 and who settled in Lancaster, Massachusetts. He had two sons, John and Thomas, neither of whom seems to have had a son Thomas.
  I checked Preston, Stonington, New London and some of the neighboring towns for any clues to Thomas' parents. There was an Abigail Bement who witnessed a deed between Edward Palmer and Thomas Parke in 1679. She could have been his mother or an aunt. Both the Simon of Springfield and the William of Saybrook families had an Abigail. Several people have claimed that there was a Daniel in Stonington who was Thomas's father, but I couldn't find any trace of him.
  Some sources have him listed as being born 29 DEC 1660. (The birthdate of Thomas Beman, son of Simon Beman and Alice Young of Springfield, Massachusetts).
  The Beeman Genealogy ("compiled by Betty Fleming Beeman"; 1980; Kingston, Ontario Source: The BEEMAN Genealogy, p. 8 "Captain Daniel Beeman (A-1) "Captain Daniel Beeman sailed from Chester, England, in the ship 'King' and landed somewhere in Massachusetts. He is reported to have had a Scottish wife and who, by tradition, gave birth to a daughter on board ship en route to America. They had four children -- Thomas and three daughters whose names are unknown. Thomas settled in Kent, Connecticut.
  "Daniel was referred to as a captain but no details are known as to whether it was an army rank or that of a ship's skipper. He is reported to have lived in Norwich, Conn., in 1680. This information was provided by Leonard L. Beeman (Rev) and his son Bowman S. Beeman of Shelburne Falls, Mass., and Ware, Mass., respectively in the early 1930s."¹² [In 1971 Gwen Boyer Bjorkman of Seattle, Washington published The Descendants of Thomas Beeman of Kent, Connecticut, which was based upon The Beeman Genealogy written by Clarence Beeman in 1954, and includes her own additions.
