Descendants of Nichodemus and his brother, George Washington, including related
lines in attendance.

This site is on a ridge between Big and Little Beechy Creeks in Pleasant Twp.,
Clay Co., WV, formerly Nicholas Co. The George Washington Arbogast homestead is
on the next ridge down the Elk River (same side), between Little and Big
Sycamore Creeks.

Following the death of their father, Michael, these two brothers apparently
followed the nearby headwaters of the Elk River, down to this location, then
Nicholas Co., or Braxton Co.,VA, sometime during the period 1842-1847.

Nichodemus on 1850 Braxton Co., VA/WV census, age 25, with wife Margaret, age
22 and daugher Edith, age 1.

Nichodemus married Mary Simmons about 1848 in Braxton Heights, Salem (city), Virginia, USA.

Amanda Arbogast Forbes records.

Infant Lemuel, born 1 May, 1859, not on 1860 census with this family; listed
with the Geo. Wash. Arbogast, Sr. family. Believe this is a census error or the
Geo. Wash. Arbogast family may have been caring for the infant.

1850 Census of Braxton Co., VA/WV indicates age as 22, name Margaret, with
husband Nichodemus, age 25 and daughter, Edith age 1, all born in VA. Correct
name may have been Mary Margaret Simmons or Nichodemus could have been married
earlier to a Margaret. Olive Reedy Wriston's records indicate a Mary Hanshaw
was Nichodemus' wife at the time Sarah D. Arbogast was born.
