From Graham's 'Portrait and Biographical Record of Allen and Van Wert Counties, Ohio.' 1889. pages 581-582: Morgan Mumaugh "...now a successful farmer on the line between Paulding and Van Wert counties, in Blue Creek township, Paulding county."
"In 1842 he married Miss Mary J. McClure, daughter of Samuel and Margaret McClure, and born in Allen county [no, Champaign Co] in 1822, of which county Samuel McClure was one of the earliest settlers, coming from Kentucky. To the union of Morgan and Mary J. Mumaugh were born twelve children in the following order: Nathaniel M., who was killed in the battle of Dallas, Ga, in the late Civil War; Flora, wife of Amos Smith of Fairfield county; Sarah E., wife of George Raymond of Modoc, Indiana; William P., of Omaha, Nebraska; Margaret E. wife of William Crosby of Michigan; Lopez J., deceased; Charles M., of Omaha, Neb; Mary A.; John E., deceased; Morgan J., deceased; Gracie, wife of Walter Hine of Chicago, and Samuel R. of Omaha, Nebraska. The mother of these children ... and died, much lamented in 1873. The second marriage of Mr. Mumaugh took place April 24, 1881 to Nancy L. Oday, widow of James Oday and daughter of William S. and Margaret (Lewis) Beaty." .... "After marriage, Morgan Mumaugh bought a farm in Allen County, on which he lived until 1850, when he sold his place and came to Van Wert and embarked in the grocery business, but three years later relinquished this and was connected with the P., Ft. W. & C railroad for a year. He then engaged in teaming in Van Wert county and continued this four years; in 1881 he sold out this business in Van Wert and moved to his present home, which he has cleared and improved and made one of the best farms in the county. About 1883 ill health compelled him to relinquish active farm duties, and now, at three score and ten years, he can look back with complacency on his long and useful career."

From a Van Wert County, Ohio, newspaper: Morgan Mumaugh, a former resident of this town, died Sunday evening at his home near Scott. Mr. Mumaugh was born in Fairfield County, Ohio, in the year 1819. He was a resident of Allen County for several years and, in 1850 moved to this town. He embarked in the grocery business, but three years later relinquished this and was connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad for one year. He then established a dray line and resided here until 1881 when he sold his business interests and moved onto a farm near Scott. He possessed many good traits of character and his friends number a host. The funeral service was held at the Methodist Church, Scott, Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment at Woodland Cemetery.
