Bounty Certificate No. 4457 for 320 acres of land was issued in the name of John Beachum, November 26, 1838, due him for having served in the army from March 1 to June 1, 1836. The rights to the certificate had been assigned to Jesse Dickinson. No other land certificate was issued in the name of John Beachum and none were issued to John Beachom or John Beachorn.
The compiler believes, but has been unable to prove, that it was John Beauchamp who participated in the Battle of San Jacinto.
