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

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
