He married Anna Christiana LNU. and fathered Clara Bell (b. 05/??/49 - married Jacob Shank Lesher) and Samantha Jane (b. @1852 - married a Stine). In 1860, he was a miller living with his family in Quincy Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania.
A Civil War veteran, he was drafted at the stated age of forty-one in Franklin County October 16, 1862, mustered into federal service at Harrisburg November 4 as captain of Co. G, 158th Pennsylvania Infantry (aka "Drafted Militia"), but submitted his resignation effective April 24, 1863.
He presumably died sometime during 1884. While no obituary was found in any online newspaper archive, there are a series of references to his estate in Antrim Township published in Waynesboro newspapers beginning in late August 1884. On June 12, 1887, Christianna applied for a widow's pension and received it.
NOTE: The evidence for Trair's burial in Cedar Hill Cemetery comes from the Pennsylvania Veterans Burial Card file, an egregiously error-prone file that should never be cited as a source. It is used here - admittedly in a most contradictory fashion - only because the claimed burial location is at least logical, and there is no other reference to Trair's death in Franklin County newspapers other than estate notices.
