Thomas Ewing MARGRAVE, was born in Marion, Iowa on Sept. 3, 1839, married Hannah HENDERSON from Concord, Ohio on April 18, 1864 in Granville, Illinois, and died on March 13, 1920 in Gordon, Nebraska. He spent three years in the Union Army during the Civil War. In his 1907 veteran's pension application, he stated that at enlistment he had been a farmer 6 ft 2 inches in height with light complexion, grey eyes, and light-colored hair. The pension had reached $40 a month at the time of his death.
Thomas E. Margrave enlisted as a private in Co. H, 20th Regiment, Illinois Infantry, on June 13, 1861 at Joliet, IL. He was promoted from corporal to sergeant on Oct. 15, 1861 and to first sergeant on May 20, 1863. In 1861 he saw action in the Battles of Frederickstown, Missouri, Fort Henry, and Fort Donaldson. In 1862 he fought at Pittsburgh Landing (Battle of Shiloh), at the Siege of Corinth, and at Brittons Lane, Tennessee. In 1863 he saw action at Port Gibson and Raymond, Mississippi as part of the Siege of Vicksburg.
He was wounded in the shoulder & head in action near Raymond, Mississippi on May 12, 1863 and was sent to Benton Barracks Hospital in St. Louis for medical treatment. After recuperating from his wounds he returned to service with his unit in September 1863 and was subsequently detached for recruiting duty on Nov. 19, 1863. He was discharged upon expiration of his three-year enlistment on June 13, 1864 in the field at Chattanooga, TN.
After his discharge Thomas & Hannah Margrave lived in Granville, Illinois in 1864-1865; then in Albany, NE (which I have not been able to find on any NE maps) from 1865 to 1869; Ashland, NE from 1869 to 1873; Rulo, NE from 1873 to 1885; and Gordon, NE from 1885 on until their deaths. He ranched and also later operated the lumber yard in Gordon with Fred Duerfeldt. In 1906-1910 Margrave & Duerfeldt designed, built, and patented an overshot hay stacker, a dipping vat, and a branding chute.
Thomas & Hannah were blessed with six children: Margaret, George, Jennie, Alfred (my grandfather), Mary, and Annie.
[Biographer's Note:] My father was only five years old when his grandfather, the Civil War veteran, died, so he had only dim recollections of him. But I find it fascinating that their lives did overlap, providing in a way a tenuous link between two such completely different wars as the Civil War and WWII.
