The Beemans were one of the central founding families of Dallas. The family originally came from Illinois. They had settled in Bird's Fort, a military camp 22 miles northwest of Dallas. The Beeman clan included four families, nineteen children, and four single men. The Beemans made several contributions to early Dallas. Bryan borrowed Beeman's wagon so he could get the supplies for the first store in the new town. In 1850, John Beeman began a small money lending business. William Beeman rode 140 miles to secure the official court order for the creation of Dallas County. James Beeman was elected justice of the peace for Dallas County in 1846.
