Che Wiggins Family
A British biographer of Washington | once made the assertion that in all the battles of the Revolution, Washington was never found at the front with the men he commanded. To prove to the contrary it was related by Jonathan Wiggins, who was at the battle of Mon- mouth, N. J., and lost an arm there. that the company to which Wiggins was attached, had made an advance to a point far exceeding the rest of the army, when Washington rode up and ordered a retreat to a position of less danger.
Wiggins related that he with others were climbing over a high Virginia rail fence, when a British cannon ball struck in the line of fence and completely de- molished the under part of the fence, as they were in the act of getting over it, 1 and scattered the fragments far and wide, much to the discomfort of the whole company. Fortunately no one was killed ; a few were slightly injured and all badly scared.
returned to Mt. Hope and was placed in command of Faesch's favorite team, a position of honor, especially when that team knew their driver and learned that his word was law, and his whip was gospel. It is related that he became an expert in the use of the whip, not as an instrument of cruelty and punish. ment, but as a capital punishment to any refractory flies that might annoy the team, and it is said could kill a fly that alighted upon the leaders ear with- out touching the ear with the whip.
When distinguished company came to the "big house," still standing and re- markably well preserved for one of its age, Faesch would amuse his visitors by getting Wiggins to show his expertness with the whip, by taking a chicken's head off with one blow from the whip. These stories have been handed down and related so many times that the nar- rators have believed them true, and as I have no means of confirming or reject-
Soon after this occurrence he lost au ; ing the same, am not willing to give arm at Monmouth, and soon afterwards ! youchers for authenticity,

I am indebted to mauy of my corr --- pondents and records of Rockaway, Morristown, Hanover and Newark for this and other Beach lines. For fear this sketch and the reader's patience: may grow somewhat unequal, I leave out very many of the lines of later date. Fred H. Beach, of Dover, has made ex. tensive research in the line of John of later date, and George M. Beach, of Chicago, has over 5,000 of the line of Zopher who came to Newark.
