Michael was a major in Franklin County Militia and also kept a tavern in the house long known as Radebaugh's Tavern, where the famous Indian Queen Hotel was later built. His brothers, George and Philip, were also in Franklin County in 1786.
Michael TROUT died 25 Sept 1806 and was buried in the First Evangelical Lutheran Churchyard in Chambersburg. His son, George 1786-1819, is buried beside him. Another son, Michael, moved to Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and was the heir to his brother George's estate. Michael's widow, Barbara [SHEETS] TROUT, married second to John WICKSHAM and continued appear in Franklin County census recordds through at least 1820.
