Eldest son of Moses Musgrave and Susanna Rich.
Enoch served in the Civil War from 1 Dec 1861 until 31 Jul 1865. He served in Co. G of the 60th Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry. After the Civil War and his marriage, he moved to New Haven, Gallatin, Illinois, where he was a farmer. He was thought to be a humble man and strongly respected in his community.
Enoch married Lucinda Caroline Lasater on March 20, 1858 in Hamilton County, Illinois. They both had seven children. On the night of 5 October 1874, he died from a knife wound inflicted by John Winters as he went into a saloon in New Haven. A case of mistaken identity, as the killer exclaimed, "Oh my God, I killed the wrong man!" After Enoch's death, Lucinda moved with her children to Jefferson County, Illinois according to the 1880 U.S. Census. Then they eventually moved to Phillips County, Arkansas one by one, starting sometime after 1880.
Enoch and Lucinda's children are Melissa Musgrove (b. 1859), Emerson Douglas Musgrove (b. 1860), Mary Jane "Mollie" Musgrove (b. 1864), Ada Lou Musgrove (b. 1868), John Calvin Musgrove (b. 1869), Anna Musgrove (b. 1872) and Estelle "Stella" Musgrove (b. 1874) recorded in U.S. Census of 1860 - 1880 in Illinois.
