The son of Solomon and Mary Negley Baughey. in 1860 he was a farmer living with his parents in Montgomery Township, Franklin County, Pa. He stood 5ft. 4in. tall and had light hair and blue eyes. The 1860 census spells the family name "Bockey"
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Chambersburg, Pa. February 7, 1864, overstating his age by three years, and mustered into Federal Service there as a private with Co. K, 21st Cavalry (182nd Pa). He was dismissed from the service, albeit honorably, April 18, 1865, by reason of an "illegal enlistment," which probably means the Army discovered he was underage.
On August 1, 1864, the Army ordered him to the hospital at City Point, Virginia, then transferred him to Satterlee U.S. Hospital, Philadelphia. Officials deemed his an illegal enlistment, due to his total inability to perform the duties of a soldier pn account of extreme youth and frail constitution.
In 1880, he lived alone in Greencastle, Franklin County. He apparently never married.
