    apparently followed the headwaters of the Elk River down into Nicholas Co.,
    VA/WV or Braxton Co., VA/WV (now Clay Co.) to the Beechy and Sycamore Creeks
    area. Nichodemus settled the Beechy Creek area, George the adjacent Sycamore
    Creek area sometime during the period 1842-1847.

    DEATH: Living, 1880 census.

    In 1860 valued real property at $500 & personal property at $385; in 1870,
    $1000 and $423. Substantial estate considering post-war economic conditions.

    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.
