Ramey, Timothy. "History of The Indiana Rangers
The Indiana Rangers were a mounted militia formed in 1807 and operated in the early part of the 19th century to defend settlers in Indiana Territory from attacks by Native Americans. The rangers were present at the Battle of Tippecanoe, and served as auxiliaries to the army during the War of 1812. At the peak of their activities they numbered over 400 men.
In 1807, the Larkins family was travelling along the Buffalo Trace when they were attacked by a band of Native Americans. The father was killed, and Mrs. Larkins and her five children were taken into captivity. The incident sparked outcries for better protection along the route, and Territorial Governor William Henry Harrison organized the Rangers to provide a fast response to attacks, primarily as a deterrent to random American Indian raids. The Rangers were modeled on the mounted troops used by General Anthony Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The primary objective of the Rangers was to safeguard the Buffalo Trace, the main transportation route between Louisville, Kentucky and the Indiana Territory's capital of Vincennes, Indiana and Illinois Territory, starting on 20 April 1807.
The first Indiana Rangers who patrolled the road in 1807 did so on foot. The Rangers had three divisions: Captain William Hargrove's 1st Division patrolled from the Wabash River to French Lick. The 2nd Division patrolled from French Lick to the Falls of the Ohio. One of their bases was at the Shaker village of Cuzco, Indiana. The 3rd Division secured an area East along the Ohio River to Lawrenceburg, Indiana, on the Ohio border. All Rangers were paid $1 per day, and were required to supply their own horse, ammunition, tomahawk, a large and small knife, and a leather belt.
Although the mounted militia units lacked uniformity, the men, and sometimes women, were well trained. In keeping with their mission, the Indiana Rangers were involved in numerous incidents involving Native Americans. Native Americans and white settlers were considered to be at peace during this time, and the early Rangers were so effective that clashes between Native Americans and white settlers effectively ended. Harrison disbanded the Indiana Rangers in 1809.
As tensions between settlers and Native Americans increased, the Indiana Rangers were reactivated. Two Rangers companies were based out of Vincennes, Indiana. Prior to the War of 1812, Rangers under Captain William Hargrove found a British spy believed to be instigating Indian attacks upon Indiana settlers. Attacks by American Indians became frequent in Indiana Territory. Some, such as the Pigeon Roost Massacre, are still remembered. During the war, the Rangers were used to augment larger armies. Colonel William Russell used the Rangers to supplement his infantry in the 1812 Peoria War, and General Samuel Hopkins utilized the Rangers in his Second Tippecanoe Campaign (1812), where several were killed at the Battle of Wild Cat Creek.
In 1813, the federal government authorized an additional four Ranger companies to secure Indiana Territory. The new companies consisted of 100 men each, and as before, they armed and equipped themselves. The officers of the rangers were paid the same as those regular army officers of the same rank. Those with horses were paid a dollar a day, and those without horses were paid 75 cents a day.
One of the new ranger companies authorized in 1813 was commanded by Captain James Bigger, a veteran of the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe, although he later had to go to court for recognition of his services with the Rangers. Another of the new rangers was John Ketcham, who built Ketcham's Fort and would later become a judge.
John Tipton served as a major in command of two companies of rangers at Fort Vallonia during the War of 1812. He would later become a United States senator, and is the namesake of the city Tipton in Tipton County, Indiana.
The Indiana Rangers inspired the creation of the more famous Texas Rangers.
The 151st Infantry Regiment traces its heritage to the pre-statehood Indiana Rangers. The motto of the regiment, "Wide Awake - Wide Awake!" was earned at the Battle of Tippecanoe. Delta Company (Ranger) was the only National Guard Infantry unit to serve intact in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and called itself the Indiana Rangers.

"I stood at the grave of Jess Durham, not long since in the burying ground at Vallonia, and saw that he died in 1850, at the age of 62 years. There were two of the Beems, old Ranger Mike and his brother, Dick. I remember Ranger Mike well as he was when I quite a young man. He was well-stricken in years, but not infirm. Time had wrought few wrinkles on his brow and to me he was the embodiment of manly strength and beauty - tall, strong and sinewy. He was just the kind of man which my youth's fancy imagined the pioneer should be. Long since, he slept in his grave on Heighton's Hill" (Early History of Jackson County; compiled H. W.

"The following came from the Listbot on Beam. I thought it was interesting, and want to pass it along to you Beem/Beam researchers.
Beam Genealogy Source: "A History of the Beam Family", by Prof. Jacob L. Beam of Princeton. The paper was published in 1919.
" The name Beam is the English spelling of the German Boehm. Boehm is German for "a or the Bohemian" "For the origin of the name, Bohman, and, consequently, of this family name by derivation of it, we must go back to the fourth century before Christ. There was, at that time, a tribe of Celtic people in the north of Italy called Boii. About the second century before Christ the Boii moved to the northeast and the place settled was called in Latin, Boiohaemum, or home of the Boii. Later the Boii moved south through what is now Bavaria, and their home in Bohemia became, about 600 A.D., the home of the Czechs, then as now, the most highly civilized and advanced of all the Slavic peoples. They still inhabit Bohemia. Though the inhabitants changed when the Boii left, the name they gave to the country remained the same. All through the middle ages the land was called Beheim or Boeheim, even into the seventeenth century. In the eighteenth century the present form of the name in German, Bohmen, crowded the older one out. The English name Bohemia is the same as the later Latin name. A native of the country was, in Latin, Bohemus, in German Bohm or Bohme. When the German name began to be applied to the people they were, as they still are, Czechs. The very name, therefore, shows racial origin. The Beams are Slavic Czechs by race, but long residence in Germany or German-Switzerland has given rise to the belief that the family is German. Of course it must be admitted that intermarriage with Germans has actually brought German blood into predominance. The name began to be used as a family name in Germany in such was as this: A wanderer from Bohemia, with an unpronounceable Czech name, came over the border into Germany and was commonly and conveniently called "ein Bohm" (a Bohemian) or "der Bohm, der Bohme" (the Bohemian). Then later the real name, if ever known at all by the neighbors, was neglected or forgotten by them and soon the bearors of the name preferred to be known by the new one in order to avoid explanations and confusion..........We must remember that it was not only one Bohemian but a large number of them who came into Germany in this way; hence the name is so common there that claims of relationship cannot be based on it alone. The name was and is very common in Switzerland too.
This spread of the name Bohm through Germany and Switzerland, is, beyond doubt, connected with the beginning of the reformation. The religious history of English Protestantism goes back to Wycliffe, whom we call the morning star of the Reformation; but Wycliffe himself had received the impulse and inspiration from abroad, from the distant Bohemian nation. A Queen of England, the wife of Richard II, had come from Bohemia and with her came the knowledge of the teachings of John Huss, the very first of the Protestants. Huss was also a great patriot. The religious movement he led was only a part of the great national movement for establishing the full freedom of the Czech nation. This was a whole century before Germany hailed Luther as its great teacher, reformer, and patriot. Huss was burned at the stake in 1415, and a death similar to his befell also the Bohemian nation. More than two centuries later, in the great war that was fought on the soil of Europe for religious liberty---the Thirty Years War--the first blow was directed by the Austrian Catholics against the people of Bohemia. The Bohemians were defeated and crushed, many of them were driven out to be wanderers on the face of the earth, and from tha time the name and the nation of the Bohemians---or as they called themselves, the Czechs----were wiped out as it seemed forever, from the map of Europe. Last year, 1918, it was reconstituted, and this year recognized as a part of the new nation of Czechoslovakia. Among these Bohemians who were driven from home and country before and after the Reformation were the Beam ancestors. It is no wonder that the name is common in Switzerland which had thrown off the yoke of the Austrians in the century before Huss and where the Austrians were long after hated. In their new home in Switzerland, our ancestors, for a while, lived and throve. But not for long were they left in peace, at least some of them. When in Switzerland. ???te church fell into conflict with those who believed and worshipped other-??se, the descendents of the Bohemian wanderers were again found on the side of those who strove for religious freedom and suffered for it. They were among the persecuted Mennonites who went over into Swabia and the Palatinate in the seventeenth century, and with the Palatinates they came, after centuries of wandering, into rest and safety in Pennsylvania which Penn had founded for such as they}
" No lineage, however illustrious, can give dignity and honor to a worthless character, and no ancestry, however base, can destroy true worth and merit." ~~David Beem 1917

From "Early History of Jackson County as taken from Files of the Banner" 1877 and republished 1928, p22:
" There were two of the Beems - Old Ranger Mike and his brother, Dick. I remember Ranger Mike well as he was when I was quite a young man. He was then stricken in years, but not infirm. Time had wrought a few wrinkles on his brow and to me he was the embodiment of manly strength and beauty -tall, strong and sinewy. He was just the kind of man which my youth's fancy imagined the pioneer should be. Long since he slept in his grave on Heighten's hill. Quite a number of his sons and one daughter still live in the full enjoyment of that Government which the father in his youth helped so much to defend and maintain."
There seems to be quite a bit of information on this family, which I (http://grandmaslyesoap.com/genealogy/Beem/off%20web/Origin.htm) haven't obtained as yet, but I'm going to type in what was written from the page sent me by another researcher from the "History of Jackson County Indiana. From the Earliest Time to Present." Chicago: Brant & Fuller 1886 pub: P680 (or 630, I can't tell)
" Vincent L. Beem was born September 14, 1827, in Carr Township, Jackson Co. Ind. about one mile from Medora, where he now lives. He is the sixth of a family of ten children born to Michael and Mary (Lockman) Beem, who were among the early pioneers of Jackson County, having come to Indiana Territory, then a wilderness, in 1811 and 1813, respectively. Michael Beem was one of the leaders of the new settlers in their defense against the depredations of the vicious red man. They fought the Indians, hunted the game and cleared away the dense forest for our present farmers. Vincent L. was born and raised on a farm, and when he began life for himself he adopted farming as his occupation, which he had followed until 1875 or 1876, when he moved to Medora. He there engaged in the hardware and hotel business, which he still follows successfully. He has been justice of the peace four years since he lived in Medora, whice (typo??) office he filled with satisfaction. He is owner and proprietor of the "Beem House," the leading house in the place. In 1852 he was married to Tabitha A. Muden, of Salem, Washington Co. Ind., and is now in his 57th year. To them have been born six children; Mary F.,Surrin D., Maud O., Willard B., Vivian and one dying in infancy. Mr. Beem has always been enterprising and interested in the society in which he has lived. He has been a member of the Christian Church sixteen years. He is also a Democrat in politics.
George W. Beem was born in Brownstone Township, December 17, 1816, and is the eldest child of Michael and Polly (Lockman) Beem, who came to Jackson County in 1811 and 1813, respectively. They came from Kentucky, and cast their lot in the then new county, where George W. has lived all his life, and is now among the leading men, socially and otherwise, in Jackson county. He has devoted his time to farming and stock raising, and now owns 198 acres of land in the White River bottoms, in Carr Township, most of which is under improvement. He was married November 8, 1838, to Polly Goss, daughter of Joseph Goss, of Owen Township, one of the early settlers in that township. They have had born to them nine children: Michael (deceased), Joseph, Caroline (deceased), Dorkes, Sarah (deceased), Jonas, William, Ida and Dilla. Mr. Beem is a Democrat in "(page ends) .
MICHAEL BEEM was born Abt. 1792 in NC, and died in Medora, Jackson Cty., IN. He married MARY "POLLY" LOCKMAN, daughter of VINCENT LOCKMAN and ANNE KIRKLAND. She was born 1793 in KY, and died in Jackson Cty., IN.
