Elijah Musgrave, an old resident of Seneca township, died at his home, in McCutchenville, on Friday, in his eighty-fourth year. Funeral at the McCutchenville M. E. church Saturday morning.
From "History of Seneca County From the Close of the Revolutionary War to July 1880" by W. Lang R 977.124: "ELIJAH MUSGRAVE, who is still living, was also an early settler in the county. He came to Republic in September, 1824, and worked for Mr. T. Roberts clearing land, and soon earned money enough to buy eighty acres, near Melmore, from Thomas West. He also worked for Frank Baker, Judge Cornell and Major Stephens. He and John Burns took the job of building the first M. E. church in Melmore, in 1833. He voted at the first election held in Scipio township. Adam Hance was elected justice of the peace. Mr. Musgrave has lived for many years on his splendid farm, in section twenty-seven. He was deputy sheriff under David Bishop in 1833. Mr. Musgrave says: "In the spring, when I was 23 years old, I made 6,000 rails. They only paid 25 cents per hundred for rails down in Coshocton, but here I got 50 cents. I was born in Allegheny County, VA, March 4, 1804. In 1810 my father moved to Coshocton county, Ohio. When I came here there were no houses between New Haven and Republic. I was married to Harriet, daughter of Micajah Heaton, 17th of May, 1833. When the Toledo War broke out, I was captain of a militia company. Dr. Gibson was our surgeon. Ezra Baker had a company also, and there was a company from Findlay, too. We all went to Toledo, but never got under fire. We had a full battalion. Henry C. Brish was our general. Governor Lucas was there. We all came back safe and sound." Daniel Reis, Philip and Jacob Scheer, Andrew Burgderfer, Jonathan Kirgis and Peter Miller were also early settlers, and there were also the Arbogasts, John Manges, John Kerr, E. Roley, the Koenigsaamens, Caleb Brundage, George Robb, A. Yambright, Henry Hepp, John Adelsberger, Joseph Lye, Joseph Lonsoway and others; also the Davidsons and Blairs, the Spilters and others."
