Notes:

1873 Death Records of Clay Co. and research by Amanda Crawford Arbogast Forbes
record the tradegy which visited this family, when three of their children,
Christina, Ferdinand and Levi died of fever along with their 16 year old
daughter in law, Martha Schoonover, wife of Geo. Wash., Jr.

Census of 1860 indicates an infant, Lemuel Arbogast, living with this family.
Clay Co. birth records indicate a son, Lemuel, born to Nichodemus and Mary
Arbogast on 1 May 1859 or 1960. The birth records seem conclusive. This
Nichodemus is a brother to Geo. Wash. and lived nearby. The census taker may
have listed the child with the wrong family or the Geo. Wash. family could have
been caring for this infant. See Nichodemus and Mary Simmons Arbogast family
group records.
