Co., Marriage Record.

Ref: WBH; death date from tombstone. Daughter Rachel said that Sarah was
closely related to the last President Harrison. Sarah had a cancer on the
forehead, removed by her son Dr. Peter Dilley Arbogast, but it came back near
the eye. Birth records of Adam's and Sarah's family are from a Bible record by
daughter Hulda. Records were written by Eliza Ann (Yeager) Arbogast and Van
Buren Arbogast, said Sarah's daughter Eliza Evaline Arbogast McElwee, 29 May
1943. WBH gave death date as 1912. However, the 1919 date is more consistent
with memories of her great granddaughter Mildred Yeager (b 1904) and great
niece Jesse Beard Powell (b 1915) who remembered her well.

Ref: Jim and Rita Wooddell records, January 1994, found a court order in
Pocahontas Co. appointing Hezekiah Simmons guardian of Sarah, orphan of Robert
McDonald and Peachey; the date was October 1857 and Adam Arbogast was his
security.

The marriage certificate for Adam and Sarah gave her parents as Morrison
and Peachy McDonald. In 1850 Morrison and his second wife (Esma?) were living
in Harrison Co., VA, with four younger children and Sarah, aged 13. Two of
Sarah's half sisters married in Randolph Co. in the mid-60s: Mary J. married
John Bennett and Nancy Ann married William Van Pelt.
