Birth, marriages, children and death recorded in a family bible kept by
Emanuel or his children now in possession of Larry Roberts at Hannibal, MO.
Data confirmed by 1850 Highland Co., VA Census, by Matheny, pp. 58 and 59.;
Marriages of Pendleton Co., VA 1788-1853, by Mary Harter, p. 2 and History of
Highland Co., VA, by Morton. Emanuel also named in deed of heirs of George
Arbogast, his father, Pendleton Co., Deed Book 14, pp. 173 and 174, 1844.

Other recorded events indicate Emanuel was one of the first justices of
Highland Co. when it was formed in 1847. Appointed school commissioner in
1853. Appraised his brother, Daniel Arbogast's estate in 1845. He was
influential in organizing the Methodist Church at Dry Run on land given earlier
by the descendants of his grandfather, Michael. In 1847 Emanuel freed his
slaves including Sam, who belonged to his father-in-law, Isaac Gum; see Deed
Book 1, p. 37, Highland Co., VA. Emanuel and Isabella deed land to trustees of
M.E. Church, Deed Book 2, p. 104, 23 Jun 1853, Highland Co., VA. Emanuel and
Isabella deed land to Ben Ami Hansel, 32ac, Deed Book 2, p. 388, 6 Aug 1855,

See Pendleton Co. deed from heirs of his brother, John.

Married once, remained in the community where his father settled near the
village of Crabbottom, Pendleton Co., VA/WV, now Blue Grass, Highland Co., VA.
His place probably abutted the lands of his father and brother, Michael. It
may be possible that he lived 2-3 miles from his fathers home, on Franks Run.
His son, Daniel, lived at this location. Carl Arbogast, son of Abraham
Arbogast lived there in 1971, per Amanda Forbes. Had 9 children.

See extensive research and records of Amanda Crawford Arbogast Forbes.

Deed of heirs filed in Pendleton Co., 1844 gives names of children. Died
intestate. His dates are from a family bible in possession of Larry Roberts.
Bible was kept by Emanuel or some of his family who went to Illinois.

George married Catherine Yeager about 1791/2 in Pendleton Co., Va. Catherine was born on 17 Jun 1769 in Shenandoah Co., Va; died in Feb 1848 in Crabbottom, Highland Co., Va. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It is possible Catherine was born in Pennsylvania before her parents came to
Shenandoah Co., VA. Birth and death dates are from family bible kept by her
son, Emanuel, and now in possession of Larry Roberts.
