    Notes 
    • It is unclear whether Thomas S. Magruder was born in Allegany County, Maryland, or in Brooke County, (West) Virginia. The 1860 census of Marshall County, (West) Virginia gives his birthplace as Maryland. He and his first wife, Elizabeth Riggs, were married in (West) Virginia, by Samuel Jones. His second wife, Millie Jane Earnest, was a widow. Thomas S. Magruder served in the United States Army during the Civil War. He enlisted on 10 October 1861, and served as a sergeant in Company L, 6th Regiment, West Virginia Volunteer Infantry. He was appointed a First Lieutenant in Company A, 12th Regiment, West Virginia Volunteer Infantry, on 18 July 1862. He was apparently discharged in late 1862 or early 1863, as he again enlisted in Wheeling, West Virginia, on 2 December 1863, and served as a private and sergeant in Company I, 15th Regiment, West Virginia Volunteer Infantry. He was later transferred to Company I, 10th Regiment. He was mustered out on 16 August 1865, at Wheeling. A harness-maker, he lived after the war in Fayette County, Ohio, Decatur and Wayne Counties, Iowa, and in Coles County, Illinois. His obituary in the "Moundsville (West Virginia) Echo," in the 29 August 1902 issue, reads: "Thomas S. Magruder - A former citizen of Calis, Marshall County, WV died at his home near Brushey Fork, Illinois of old age. The old gentleman died in the morning and his son, Albert, died on the evening of the same day with typhoid fever. Mr. Magruder and family moved from Marshall County to Illinois during last March. Mr. Magruder was well known to the people of this county, having served in a West Virginia regiment during the Civil War." His middle name is given as Samuel on his daughter Minnie's death certificate and as Sanford on his second marriage license.
