(The Boehm family, who eventually [other accounts says immediately] changed the spelling of their surname to "Beam", emigrated from Germany and settled in Kentucky; colonel James Beauregard "Jim" Beam (1864–1947); "Jim Beam Bourbon" since 1935)
It is unclear whether Jacob Beam was son of or the same person as Johannes "Reginald" Beam. Both shared the same years of birth of death, but some accounts describe Jacob as a son of the latter.

This derives its name from the tribal name Baii + heim ‘homeland’; the Baii were a tribe, probably Celtic, who inhabited the region in the 1st century ad and were gradually displaced by Slavic settlers in the period up to the 5th century. The same tribe also gave their name to Bavaria (see Bayer). Bohemia was an independent Slavic kingdom from the 7th century to 1526, when it fell to the Habsburgs. In 1627 it was formally declared a Habsburg Crown Land, and by the Treaty of Versailles it became a province of the newly formed Czechoslovakia in 1919."

This region of southern Germany derives its name from that of the Celtic tribe of the Boii who once inhabited this area.
