From "Mulanax - Bales" by Katherine and Alvin Mulanax, April 1980, pp. 83 &

Arbogast Mulanax (daughter of Michael Arbogast, Jr.), and her husband, Joseph
Mulanax. The Mulanax' report that three Arbogasts bought land in Madison
County in the 1830's, Jesse, Isaac and Jacob Arbogast. It is thought that
they are sons of David Arbogast who came to Madison County about 1831.

According to Vera Arbogast Turner (Mrs. Lynn Turner) of Bloomington, IL, David
purchased land in Madison Co., IN in 1833. Vera is descended through the son,
Henry, William, John Lewis and Rev. Wm. H. Arbogast, her father.

property to Michael Armingcost. This area is now Blue Grass, Highland Co., VA.
This information from, Records of Augusta Co., VA, Vol.III, by Chalkley, p.
531, 560. Page 195, citing Will Book VI, records appraisment of the estate of
Barnet Lance by Peter Hull, Jno. Gum, Sr. and Michael Armengash, 20 Sep 1791.
In other books, Michael's sons married into the Hull and Gum families, so they
were probably neighbors.
