Sources are combined family group records of Amanda Arbogast Forbes and
Barbara Lawyer, copies in file. These family records are substantially the
same, each giving more details from time to time than the other. Susan is the
daughter of Henry and Susan (Ragan) Stoner. Also see Jane R. Stoner #10382,
dau. of Henry and Sarah Stoner.

Notes:

Source is Amanda Arbogast Forbes file with reference to correspondence
with Grace Emahiser of Fostoria, OH. Tombstone indicates death at 39 yrs.
Centennial Biogaraphical History of Seneca Co., OH indicates death in 1835.
Same history lists children Phoebe, Christina, Jesse and Michael. Grace's
husband is Geo. Clifton Emahiser, a descendant of Andrew, #2803, and Barbara
(Wimer) Arbogast.

From History of Seneca County, Ohio, Illustrated, 1886, Warner, Beers & Co.,
Chicago. Tiffin-Seneca County Public Library, 76569-85. Page 552, Pioneers
and Incidents of Pioneer Times..."Peter Arbogast, who died in 1833, owned the
west half of southwest quarter of Section 16, Township 2 north, Range 14 east.
He settled here in 1826. Mrs. Sophia Arbogast died in 1861. Michael Arbogast,
born in Virginia in 1824, came here when two years old, and is now a resident
of Seneca Township. Page 987, Michael Arbogast, farmer, P.O. Tiffin, was born
in Virginia, 1 Aug 1824, a son of Peter and Sophia Arbogast, natives of
Virginia, where they first settled; thence came to this county in 1826,
locating in Hopewell Township, where they lived and died, the former in 1833,
and the latter in 1861. Our subject (Michael, ed.) was united in marriage, 19
Dec 1847, with Jane Gedulting, born in Frederick Co., MD, a daughter of Jacob
and Elizabeth Gedulting. Mrs. Arbogast departed this life 6 Jan 1849, and our
subject then married, 11 Mar 1852, for his second wife, Jane R. Stoner, born in
Frederick Co., MD, 18 Jan 1825, a daughter of Henry and Sarah Stoner. Father
of nine children, all named except an infant, as recorded, six living in 1886.
Jane R. (Stoner) Arbogast died 23 Jun 1882. Our subject has met with fair
success and now owns 300 acres of land". A photo of Michael appears therein.

Peter is obviously a descendant of Michael Arbogast, unplaced at this time.
On 1830 census, Seneca Co., OH, age 30-40 bracket. Also two males age 20-30
bracket unidentified.

Peter married Sophia Arbogast on 13 Apr 1823 in Blue Grass, Pendleton Co., Va/Wv. Sophia (daughter of Henry Arbogast and Sophia Wade) was born about 1800 in Crabbottom, Pendleton Co., Va/Wv; died in 1861 in So. of Tiffin, Seneca Co., Oh. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Source is Amanda Arbogast Forbes research and family group record with
references to Centennial Biographical History of Seneca Co., OH, p. 344 and
Sophia named in father's will. Sophia's husband Peter Arbogast is not a son of
of Henry Arbogast. We are unable at this time to identify his parents. For
Peter Arbogast, son of Henry, of David, see RIN # 8883.

Extracts from Seneca County Land Records and deeds, sent to me by Barbara
Lawyer, in file, indicate several real property transactions. One, a deed,
from Christian Stoner and Anna Maria Stoner his wife, recorded on page 78, is
of particular interest since Stoner and Arbogast families married at least
twice, Jesse Arbogast #3716, to Susan Stoner and Michael Arbogast #3712, to
Jane R. Stoner, a.k.a. Jane Rebecca and Rebecca Jane. Sophia Arbogast married
2nd, David Speilman or Speelman, 27 Oct 1834.

In a civil action in Seneca Co., OH, Common Pleas Court, filed 31 Oct
1833, having to do with Peter's estate, Sophia represents that Jesse, Phebe,
Christina, and Michael are her children and Peter's. Page 220 of court
records.

1830 census, Hopewell Twp., Seneca Co., OH, Sophia, age bracket 30-40, so her
birth could be before 1800.

Notes:

MARRIAGES: Second wife, Elizabeth, 1805. May have been married more than two
times, had 17 children. Henry remained in community of father, Dry Run, near
Crabbottom, now Blue Grass, VA. He may have inherited or otherwise acquired
his father's homestead because his descendants owned the property as late as
1971 per Amanda Crawford Arbogast Forbes research.

WILL: Pendleton Co. Court Records Will Book 4, pp.236-237, childrens names.
Copy of will in file also names wife, Elizabeth. Probated 4 Apr 1844, written
Feb. 1844. Son, Ephriam not in will, previously deeded 375ac to him in 1840.

According to History of Highland Co., Virginia, by Morton, the Wade family
came from Maryland to Virginia about 1780. The parents of Sophia are not known
however she is the granddaughter of John Wade (1723-1815) and Sophia (Howard)
Wade (1727-1816) who came from England to Maryland, to Augusta Co., Virginia
about 1780. Sophia (Wade) Arbogast's birth and death dates are approximated
from available information.
