Jacob Bingman (Name changed after the Civil War to Bingaman)
Son of Yost, grandson of Frederick, great grandson of Johann Jost (from Fußgönheim, Germany to Port of Philadelphia Sept 1754), then...John Jost Bingman born 1729, Johann Paul Bingemann born Jan 1700, Hans Frederick Bingemann born Oct 1670 in Fußgönheim, Germany, and died 10 Oct 1712, Johan Bingemann born Dec 1648 in Fußgönheim, Germany, Hans Bingemann born Sep 1626 in Fußgönheim, Germany, and died 1657.

Jacob helped his father as a coalier when he was young and had an accident. His father had left him to attend to some smoldering logs and he fell in and burned his right leg just below the knee severely. (He didn't have proper medical care for the burn until decades later.) He married Mary Swartz and they had 13 children.
He and a few of his sons, with other male relatives, served during the Civil War. Jacob was a drummer in Co E 53rd Pa vol inf.
He paid another man to take the physical exam for him because he knew he would fail on account of his leg. When the army was marching during the Peninsula Campaign of 1862 Jacob couldn't keep up and went to the camp hospital many times. He often rode in a wagon. In camp during the campaign he created a story that he had hurt his leg in camp by tripping on some firewood. He went to a general hospital in DC and was discharged in 1863. His leg was amputated a yr or 2 later.
I have war time letters, this tin type photo, HIS WOODEN LEG :), and other documents. I'm his greatX3 grandson.
