From a Jennings Family Genealogy, Published in 1899 pg. 440-441:
"Beach Jennings was aself-made man. His father, Phileman Jennings, having lost his property was unable to give his children the advantages of education he otherwise would. Beach Jennings, his oldest son, at the age of ten years commenced working on a farm during the summer seasons and attended school during the winter seasons, at the age of sixteen he commenced teaching; he was a constant reader, a brilliant scholar; he taught what was called a select school in the higher branches in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania until he was married and settled in Franklin, He was appointed Deputy Sheriff and established himself as a Surveyor and Civil Engineer ; he held important offices in that town during life; he was for a long time Justice of the Peace and for many years Associate Judge in that county. His tastes were simple and few; his advice was often sought in town and personal matters; on the Bench his deliberations were slow, having in view the gravity of the questions and a sense of his responsibility.'' — From manuscript of Francis A. White."
