and his son Eli McKinley Arbogast. George was a farmer in Moorefield Twp.

brother, Eli McKinley Arbogast. Copies of Rosemary's papers are in file. This
work of Rosemary is hereafter referred to as THE ROSEMARY PICKETT PAPERS.

Rosemary Pickett a descendant has done extensive research in and around Clark
Co., OH and from her home over several years has provided well documented
family group records for Michael, Jr. and each of his children. On the son,
George, Rosemary's data was augmented by research of Theodore B. James who is
descended from George's daughter Annie Eliza and research of Margaret Sievers,
National DAR # 527614 who is descended from George's son, James Henry Arbogast.
On the son, Eli McKinley, all of the research is by Rosemary since this is her
line and includes this line of her ancestors as well as her own descendants.
Children listed may not be in order of birth. Rosemary cites, Portraits and
Biographies Album of Greene and Clark Counties, Ohio, Vols. I & II, Chapman
Bros., Chicage, 1890, as a source and extracted the text pointing out the error
that all of Michael's children were not born in Ohio and he came to Ohio prior
to 1816. Rosemary's work may be referred to hereafter as THE PICKETT PAPERS.

Other sources cited by Rosemary Pickett are: Clark Co., OH Marriage Records
(researched 4 Apr 1991).
