G. Paul Moser and Mark A. Schwalm state that "like his father (Ignatius Effinger), Michael was active in the real estate market and in community affairs. The Virginia Assembly named him a trustee of Woodstock Academy when it was chartered on 21 February 1817 . Besides, he was a First Lieutenant in the Artillery Company of the 3rd Division of Militia."
The census records of 1830 show three Effingers in Harrisonburg including one Michael. He had living with him 3 boys under 10, one 15-20 and two 20-30. There was one daughter under 5, two 10-15 (Maria and Elizabeth) and one 15-20. There was one female between 30 and 40 who we assume was his wife Elizabeth. Therefore I assume that she was born between 1790-1800.
On 23 August 1843, Michael Effinger wrote to William Massie to advise that he was still sick even though he was taking all kinds of medicine. The letter also included a discussion as a wedding, likely that of his daughter Elizabeth to Massie's son Thomas. Less than two months later he died, but there is no mention of this in the Massie correspondence recorded in the Massies of Virginia.
