Michael Grubaugh was born in 1822 to Michael Grubaugh (1792) and Eleanor Snyder. Michael married Mary Ann McFall on 8 Jun 1843 in Hanover, Ashland County. They had 8 children - Mary Ellen Grubaugh Smith (1845-1916), Margaret Jane Grubaugh Webb Heath (1847-1931), Sarah Elizabeth Grubaugh McFall (1849-1926), John Francis Grubaugh (1851-1933), David H. Grubaugh (1854-1920), Michael Grubaugh (1857-1895), James William Grubaugh (1859-1891), and Rebecca Ann Grubaugh Frankenberger (1859-1909). The last two children were twins and were born in OH. In 1860, Michael and his family are found in Green, Scotland County, MO. Shortly after that, they moved to Fayette County, IL and eventually, Mary moved the family to Bureau County, IL.
Michael joined Co. F of the 32nd Illinois Infantry Regiment on 1 Nov 1861. He joined at the same time as his brother, John. Michael got sick at Camp Butler with measles and dysentery and was sent home to heal. Unfortunately, he died on 2 Feb 1862. One interesting side note of Grubaughs in the Civil War is that Michael's half-brother, Joseph W. Grubaugh, was in Arkansas at the time the war broke out and was placed in the Arkansas militia, fighting on the side of the Confederacy. There were 16 Grubaughs who fought in the Civil War (5 of them died) and Joseph was the only Grubaugh who fought for the Confederacy. Joseph deserted his unit after about a year and it's not likely he ever fought in a battle against a Union Grubaugh.
Michael's wife, Mary, never remarried and raised all eight children on her own. She died in 1899.
