BIRTH: From 1850 and 1880 Census for Pendleton Co., VA/WV. 1860 and 70 census
also checked. First marriage record lists his age as 24yrs. 6mos. and
Elizabeth's as 24yrs. 5mos.
DEATH: No definitive record located although records indicate that Elizabeth
probably died between 1880 - 1887 when husband thought to have remarried.
CHILDREN: It is thought that Cora died young since she was listed on 1870
census but not on 1880 census and no other record was located for her. Most
likely Jacob had children by second wife but no record of them has been
located.
MARRIAGE: Pendleton Co. marriage records confirm parents of Jacob and
Elizabeth. Jacob most probably married again. See marriage record of June
1887 indicating Jacob Arbogast, widower, age 45, married Mahala P. Lambert, age
17. 1880 census shows Ali P. Lambert, age 7 as daughter of Elbimus and Susan
Lambert. See Amanda Arbogast Forbes RIN # 468, in file, copied.Jacob married Elizabeth A. Warner on 20 Nov 1864 in Pendleton Co., Wv. Elizabeth was born about 1840 in Pendleton Co., Va/Wv; died in 1880/1887. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
