William Beaumont (also spelled Beamon, Beamond, or Beaman) and his younger brother John Beaumont (also spelled Bement) left England in
The William Beaumont family has several notable members. Perhaps the most notable is Dr. William Beaumont (1785-1853), U.S. Army surgeon and author of "Experiments and Observations on the Gastric Juice and the Physiology of Digestion" (1833, Plattsburgh: F.P. Allen). The book details his work with Alexis St. Martin, a Canadian voyageur who had a gunshot wound that resulted in a permanent hole in his stomach. Through this hole, Dr. Beaumont inserted bits of food into St. Martin's stomach, observed the chemical process of digestion, and siphoned samples of gastric juice. This occurred during the "primitive" days of medicine, when doctors didn't realize the importance of cleanliness, patients were often treated with opium and by bleeding, and measles could kill. The American Medical Association didn't even exist until 1847.
For more details on Dr. William Beaumont's life and work, these two biographies are recommended:
Connecticut county organization: Lebanon was part of New London County until 1726, when Lebanon was made part of the newly-created Windham County. In 1824, Lebanon again became part of New London County, where it is today.
Probate records: new probate court districts were established in 1719, when Lebanon was assigned to the local probate court in Windham town, although the new Windham County was not established until 1726. Each town in Connecticut got its own probate court in 1826, so Lebanon probate records from 1719 to 1826 are in the Windham County Court House.

Prior to medicine, Samuel was publisher of the "Plattsburgh Herald" newspaper in 1819; this experience was helpful in 1833 in publishing William's book about digestive experiments.

NOTE: William Beaumont grew up on his father's farm in Connecticut. In 1807, he moved to New York and tried schoolteaching, then decided to become a doctor. In those days, there were few American medical schools and no standards for medical training; some "doctors" practiced medicine with no formal training. So in 1811, he moved to the small town of St. Albans, Vermont to apprentice with Drs. Benjamin Chandler and Truman Powell; this was the most popular way American doctors were then trained. On June 9, 1812 William Beaumont received his license to practice "physics and surgery" from the Third Medical Society of Vermont.
When the War of 1812 started, he joined the army's medical corps as a surgeon's mate; he was at the battle of Little York, the storming of Fort George, and the battle of Plattsburg, and received a citation for bravery. In 1815, after the War of 1812 ended, he became a small-town doctor in Plattsburgh, New York, where he met his future wife Deborah Green. Dr. William Beaumont returned to Army service in 1819, and was sent to an Army fort on Mackinac Island in Lake Huron in the Michigan Territory. On June 6, 1822, Canadian voyageur Alexis St. Martin was accidentally shot in the stomach; Beaumont treated the injury but the hole never totally healed. Dr. Beaumont hired St. Martin as a live-in servant; Beaumont experimented on St. Martin's stomach on-and-off until 1833, when St. Martin returned for good to his home in Canada.
In December 1833, Dr. William Beaumont published his book Experiments and Observations on the Gastric Juice and the Physiology of Digestion. He eventually retired from the army and had a successful private medical practice in St. Louis, Missouri, where he died. He and his wife Deborah were close friends with Senator Thomas Hart Benton, General Robert E. Lee, and General Ethan Allen Hitchcock (grandson of Revolutionary War figure Ethan Allen of Vermont).

Dr. William was boarding at the inn when he met Deborah Green, who had returned home after her divorce from Nathaniel Platt Jr. (nephew of Zephaniah Platt, who founded Plattsburgh in 1785). Israel Green was a third cousin of General Nathanael Greene, George Washington's friend and second-in-command during the Revolutionary War; for more information on General Greene, see http://www.ushistory.org/valleyforge/served/greene.html.

Ann Green's stepson was Rear Admiral Melancton Smith (1810-1893), who as a child lived several years with Dr. William Beaumont's family on Mackinac Island; he served during the Civil War, and also commanded the Washington and Brooklyn navy yards. Ann's daughter Elizabeth Smith married Morgan L. Martin, a family friend of the Beaumonts who invested in real estate in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and was a Member of Congress.
