Notes:

Death may have been November. Place of death was probably Pocahontas Co., WV.
Was found in 1880 census. There is no proof that Jacob was a son of Adam other
than histories of the area and records of descendants; not in father's will.
Note in Amanda's records from Wilma Harper that Jacob was a toll-gate keeper at
Durbin, WV.

According to "Pocahontas Co., WV." by Price, Jacob was an ardent supporter of
the Confererate cause and fled to Highland Co., VA. with his family in 1861,
returning in 1865 to start over again. See page 125 for this family.

Various research indicates; Children from 1850 Census of Randolph County,
VA/WV and 1880 Census of Pocahontas County, WV. The 1860 Census includes one
or more children in household which may be other children of this marriage.
Information on son, Adam Crawford, from Tommy Arbogast Huggins of
Hartford City, IN. Tommy (Helen Rex) is daughter of Joseph Lee Arbogast,
granddaughter of Adam Crawford Arbogast and gr-granddaughter of Jacob Hull
Arbogast.

Ref: WBH; names of children from Evelyn Beard (mother of WBH). Jacob had a
contract to help build the Staunton-Petersburg Turnpike. He kept post office
at Traveler's Repose 21 May 1856, followed by his daughter Eliza Jane 6 July
1856, then by George Burner 2 October 1866. His niece, Hulda, said that her
Uncle Jake inherited the property known as the Flenner place from his father
Adam. This is not mentioned in Adam's will, so perhaps he deeded the property
to Jake.
In 1858 Jacob sold 61 acres to Andrew Yeager, land described as being on
the Greenbrier (and according to accompanying drawing being on the south side
of the Greenbrier). Some calls are similar to those in a 100-acre grant to
Jakes's father Adam in 1811-1812. The land grant was described as being on the
East Fork of the Greenbrier, with Rogers and John Yeager to the south and
adjoining some land already owned by Adam. (The original land grant is in the
possession of Jesse Brown Beard Powell in 1995; the original of the 1858 deed
was in the possession of Jewell Yeager Arbogast in 1939.) Notes by WBH
indicate the 61 acres was conveyed by Andrew Yeager to his son Peter Dilley
Yeager. It appears that this 61 acres is across the Greenbrier from the
Traveler's Repose property, giving Andrew and his son Peter Dilley Yeager
control of both sides of the river at an important junction in the turnpike.
But perhaps it is the Inn property itself.
Lest the reader wonder why the locations are so hard to determine, the
land grant Point of Beginning is "a white oak and pine on a laurel bank" and
the 1858 deed Point of Beginning is a "beech and spruce pine" on the Greenbrier
River. The land is important, not only to the history of Adam's family, but
also to the history of the upper end of Pocahontas County. The Traveler's
Repose inn was the first overnight stage coach stop on the turnpike. Jesse
Powell believes that the farmhouse which belonged to Adam/Adam/Hulda and Mack
Yeager/Lucy Yeager is one of the two oldest remaining houses in upper
Pocahontas County.

Jacob married Elizabeth Wilson Bright on 27 Jun 1838 in Pocahontas Co., Va/Wv. Elizabeth was born on 13 Nov 1816 in Highland Co., Va; died on 18 May 1889 in Pocahontas Co., Wv; was buried in Back Mt. Cem, , Pocahontas Co., Wv. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
