VESALIUS S. MAGRUDER. Of worthy Scotch ancestry, Vesalius S. Magruder, at present engaged in the real-estate and insurance business in Mechanicsburg, was born in this city May 22, 1846, a son of James L. and Eliza E. (Stafford) Magruder, and grandson of Xinian and Elizabeth (Lyons) Magruder. On both the paternal and maternal sides of the family the emigrating forefathers settled in the Old Dominion state, and at Winchester. Virginia, James L. Magruder was born August 29, 1817. Until his nineteenth year his association with his family remained unbroken, and then, accompanied by a brother-in-law. Filander Maine, they set out for the home of the latter in Vienna Crossroads, (lark county, ?W liii". their means of locomotion being a single horse, which between them they "rode and tied." After a year at the Crossroads, Mr. Ma- gruder came to the conclusion that his field of usefulness lay elsev so journeyed to West Liberty, where he learned the trade of harness- making, and where he remained For nearly four years. As early as [838 he Incited in Mechanicsburg, and here found employment with William Rutan, one of the pioneers of tin- town. In 1841 lie started an independent business, and in the shop originally -elected fur the mak- ing of his harness he has since continued to ply his trade, the industry established by him constituting one of the interesting landmark- of the locality. A well merited success has crowned his efforts as a busi man and citizen, and no other has mure happily allied with his industry a delightful and optimistic personality, a finely balanced character, and a high regard for the worth-while things of life. These admirable traits pre-suppose unstinted esteem, and in the case of Mr. Magrudei have brought also popularity and general good will. He was married at West liberty in 1842, with Eliza E. Stafford, a native of Pennsylvania and of Irish descent. Mrs. Magruder, who died in 1900. at the age of seventy-six, was the mother of two children, a sun and daughter, the latter, Sallie E? being now the wife of Jacob Horr, of Mechanicsburg. Politically Mr. Magruder was originally a Whig, and is at present a Republican. It was but natural that \\ esalius S. Magruder should early acquire a knowledge of the harness business, and after finishing his education in the public schools, he completed the trade under his father's able instruction. Dunn- the Civil war he enlisted for four months. May 2, 1864. in Company C. One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth Ohio Volunteer infantry, and during the service learned enough about war to appreciate the benefit of peace. He has since been a member, and for two terms commander, of the Stephen Baxter Post, No. 88, Grand Army of the Republic. In 1867 Mr. Magruder became interested with his la- ther in the harness business, and continued the association until the present year, when the time-honored simp, with its multitudinous reminders public appreciation, and of its genial and well loved founder, is about to pass into other hands. In the meantime Mr. Magruder has been interested in real estate and insurance, in which lines of activity succ may be predicted, if general business ability is any guide. A wholesome interest in p. .lilies has added somewhat to the cares of Mr. Magruder, and he has creditably filled several minor offices, am rig them being that of corporation clerk of Mechanicburg, which be held for twelve rears, and that of a member of the school board for four years. For thirty-five years he has been a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In 1869 Mr. Magruder married Annie Horr. a native of this town, of which union there is one sun. James \\\\\\, a medical practitioner of Peru, Indiana. Mr. and Mrs. Magruder are members of the Meth- odist Episcopal church, and the former has been connected with the official board for many years. He hears an excellent reputation in the community, and thus it happens that the name of Magruder, through father and son, has come to be regarded as indicative of business and moral strength.

If this is true then Jacob was the first child of Robert and Sarah's to leave Massachusetts. It is said that brothers Warren and Robert with Jacob moved there about the same time.
Jacob moved to Ohio before 1818.
