The son of Lewis & Susan Cobaugh, in 1860 he was a laborer presumably living in or near Conoy Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted and mustered into federal service at Lancaster February 27, 1865, as a private with Co. H, 195th Pennsylvania Infantry, but deserted in Washington DC to date November 17, 1865. The company register indicates no forgiveness of the desertion charge, yet he received a disability pension, which, in theory, could only happen if the War Department had expunged the desertion charge. He is in the company register as "Colbaugh."
He married Mary Elizabeth Shearer ca. 1870; children: Edwin (b. 08/17/73), John (b. @1877), Amos Samuel (b. 04/26/82), Clayton (b. 10/12/86), and Eugene (b. 05/12/90). Cause of death is listed as "bronchopneumonia" caused by "influenza." More research will be required to unravel this mystery.
Several online family trees report "Edward" has his middle name, but the middle name from his death certificate is used here.
