STOBAUGH, Abraham - Putnam

Abraham STOBAUGH came from Montgomery County, VA in company with his son, the late Jacob Stobaugh, and settled in the southern portion of Floyd Township. He was grandfather of Mrs. AM Robinson, of Fillmore and the late Mrs. Owen, the wife of our fellow townsman and ex-County recorder, George Owen. From Mrs. Robinson I learn that this worthy patriot died in Sept 1836, and that he was buried with the honors of war. A militia company from Greencastle, commanded by the late Col. Lewis H. Sands, fired the salute at the grave. He was buried in a private cemetery on the old Gorham farm in Marion Township. There is today no trace of his grave remaining, none at least that would identify it among those of numerous friends and relatives. Mr. Stobaugh left quite a large number of descendants, some of whom still remain in the neighborhood of his former home.
