Rev. Thomas J. Harbaugh was born on 16 October 1839 in Ohio. He and Annie Scott were married on 26 September 1866 in Putnam County, Ohio. He died on 8 June 1916, at age 76, in Bowling Green, Wood County, Ohio. He was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, Bowling Green, Wood County, Ohio.

REV. THOMAS J. HARBAUGH.— The record of a successful life must ever prove a subject of interest to the student who would attempt an analysis of character, tracing back to the fountain head the widely diverging channels which mark the onward flow of such individuality, and we of this utilitarian age can not afford to hold in light esteem the record which tells of the past and its accomplishments. Through the effective offices of Rev. H. Harbaugh, there was published, in the year of 1856, the " An-

OF PUTNAM COUNTY - 213

nals of the Harbaugh family in America, from 1736 to 1856." He who compiled this excellent work was a resident of Pennsylvania, and from these " Annals " we learn that the original progenitor of the Harbaugh family in America was Yost Harbaugh, who came from Switzerland about the year 1736, first settling in the Maxatawny valley, in Pennsylvania, and a few years after removing to a new settlement at Kreutz creek, west of the Susquehanna, where he purchased a considerable tract of land. Yost Harbaugh was twice married, and became the father of ten children—our subject tracing his direct lineage to Ludwig Harbaugh, the second child of the first marriage.

Ludwig Harbaugh was born in Switzerland about the year 1728. He resided in Maryland, in the locality known as Harbaugh's Valley, where he died in 1809, aged eighty-two years, his wife, Christina, having died in 1797, aged seventy. They had ten children, the fifth of whom was Yost Harbaugh, who was the grandfather of our subject. He also lived in Harbaugh's Valley, and there died about 1836, having reached the age of some sixty years. He married Elizabeth Sweeney, and their children were ten in number, and the eldest of these, Thomas, was the father of the immediate subject of this review.

Thomas Harbaugh was born in Harbaugh's Valley, Frederick county, Maryland, October 8, 1796. and was there reared to manhood. In this connection it may be said that the Harbaugh family is of German extraction, the ancestors having been driven out of their native land into one of the cantons of Switzerland, whence occurred the emigration of the original American ancestors. Thomas Harbaugh was educated in the common schools of Maryland and there learned the carpenter's trade. He married Mary Exline, daughter of Bernard and Julia A. (Beltz) Exline, and they became the parents of twelve children, as follows: Lewis, deceased in infancy; a daughter, deceased in infancy; Julia A., widow of Dr. William Bell, of Fort Wayne, Ind.; Valentine, a farmer of Kansas; Elizabeth, widow of Joseph Cable, of Columbus Grove, Ohio; Irenius and Louisa, twins (Irenius died in Columbus Grove and Louisa died in Kansas); Thomas J., of this review; Mary E. (twin of our subject) is the wife of SisnaBoor, of Angola, Ind. ; Sophronia, wife of Isaac Ludwig of Delphos, Ohio; Margaretta, who died in December, 1862, and William T., a farmer of Putnam county. After his marriage Thomas Harbaugh removed from Maryland to Muskingum county, Ohio, and later to Tuscarawas county, where he was occupied at his trade. In 1848 he came to Putnam county, settling near Columbus Grove, where he had previously purchased a tract of wild land. To the reclamation and cultivation of this pioneer homestead he gave his attention and there remained for many years. He died • in Indiana, April 7, 1884. He was a man of quiet and unassuming character, and an honest, industrious, and useful citizen. Previous to the war he was a member of the democratic party, but later became identified with the republican party; originally he was, in religion, a Lutheran, but eventually he became a member of the United Brethren church. His wife was born in Bedford county, Pa., in 1803, being of Pennsylvania-German stock. Like her husband she was reared in the Lutheran church, but died in the United Brethren faith, her demise occurring in February, 1867.

Thomas J. Harbaugh, the subject of this sketch, laid the foundation for an education before the light of a hickory bark fire in the kitchen of the old homestead, and in the district schools during a portion of the year, and afterward by attending school at Gilead, Wood county, where he was under the preceptorage of Prof. Avery.

Essentially loyal and patriotic, he enlisted,

214 - BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

April 15, 1861, in company E, Twenty-first Ohio volunteer infantry, under Capt., afterward Gen., A. V. Rice, for three months' service in the Civil war. The command was sent to Cleveland and thence to Columbus, where they received arms and ammunition, and thence proceeded, by the way of Cincinnati, to Jackson, Gallipolis, and Kanawha, under command of Gen. Cox. At the expiration of his term of enlistment, Mr. Harbaugh returned home and taught one term of school, after which, on August 18, 1862, he re-enlisted as a member of company G., Eighty-first Ohio volunteer infantry, Capt. Overmeyer, for a term of three years, being appointed sergeant of his company. He was at once sent to Corinth, Miss., where his regiment passed the winter, and then engaged in a series of raids at Pittsburg Landing and Iuka, participating in all engagements in which the Sixteenth army corps took part. In the spring the command marched up the Tennessee river into Alabama, participating in the battle of Twin Creek, and engaging the cavalry under Forrest and Weaver. Thence they returned to Corinth and from that point proceeded westward and passed the greater portion of the summer near the Memphis & Georgia: railroad at Pocahontas. In October they were sent to Tennessee, marching across the state to Pulaski, where they went into winter quarters, his company being detailed to attend' of the operation of a mill nine miles east of headquarters, grinding grain and sending' flour to the troops at the front. In the spring they marched to. Chattanooga, being the Second' brigade of the Second divison of the Sixteenth army Corps; under Gen. Sweeney, about May 7, 1864, they reached Chattanooga, camping at the foot of the mountains, and in a few days afterward participated in the battle of Resaca. Thereafter our subject was in all the battles and marches of the army of Ten-
nessee leading up to and resulting in the taking of Atlanta, being 100 days under fire. After Atlanta was taken he was transferred to the Fifteenth army corps, under Gen. Logan, and was sent to Rome, Ga., to recuperate, and after six ,weeks had elapsed, he started with Sherman on the memorable " march to the sea," being assigned to Gen. Howard's right wing and assisting in the destruction of the railroad lines. Leaving Savannah, his regiment crossed at Sisters' Ferry, in South Carolina, thence proceeding to Columbia, S. C., and Raliegh, N. C., and Richmond, Va., and finally to the national capital, where they participated in the grand review. With the rank of first lieutenant, Mr. Harbaugh was honorably discharged from the Union service July 21, 1865; afterward returned to his home and for a time was employed on a farm. In the meantime he applied himself, with earnestness and devotion, to study, and in the fall of 1866 entered upon his his ministerial labors, having united with the church at the age of sixteen years.
