Notes:

Photos of cemetery and gravesite on file. Arbogast reunion held at this site
annually on the Sunday before Labor Day. The 19th reunion was held
on Sept. 1, 1991. Property is now held by grandson, Roscoe Arbogast, Sr.
Descendants of Nichodemus and his brother, George Washington, including related
lines in attendance.

This site is on a ridge between Big and Little Beechy Creeks in Pleasant Twp.,
Clay Co., WV, formerly Nicholas Co. The George Washington Arbogast homestead is
on the next ridge down the Elk River (same side), between Little and Big
Sycamore Creeks.

Following the death of their father, Michael, these two brothers apparently
followed the nearby headwaters of the Elk River, down to this location, then
Nicholas Co., or Braxton Co.,VA, sometime during the period 1842-1847.

Some family records sent by R. W. Arbogast, Sr. June 11, 1992 indicate
Nichodemus' second wife was Margaret Ward and mother of Dock and Tecumptas, copy
in file, no documentation.

Nichodemus on 1850 Braxton Co., VA/WV census, age 25, with wife Margaret, age
22 and daugher Edith, age 1.

Nichodemus married Mary Simmons about 1848 in Braxton Heights, Salem (city), Virginia, USA. Mary (daughter of Michael Lum SIMMONS and Mary Ann Obrion) was born in 1828 in Nicholas Co., Va/Wv; died on 31 Aug 1870 in Union City, Clay, West Virginia, United States; was buried in Arbogast Family Cemetary, Elkhurst, Clay County, WV, USA.

Year of birth and date of death from death certificate, Clay Co., WV.

Other Sources- 1860 & 70 census, Clay Co., WV; Wm. J. Arbogast, grandson, and
Amanda Arbogast Forbes records.

Infant Lemuel, born 1 May, 1859, not on 1860 census with this family; listed
with the Geo. Wash. Arbogast, Sr. family. Believe this is a census error or the
Geo. Wash. Arbogast family may have been caring for the infant.

1850 Census of Braxton Co., VA/WV indicates age as 22, name Margaret, with
husband Nichodemus, age 25 and daughter, Edith age 1, all born in VA. Correct
name may have been Mary Margaret Simmons or Nichodemus could have been married
earlier to a Margaret. Olive Reedy Wriston's records indicate a Mary Hanshaw
was Nichodemus' wife at the time Sarah D. Arbogast was born.

Co. Census and the death of her husband. See Daisy Hartmann Papers, in file.

Edith's brother and sister married a brother and sister of her spouse.
Edith is #5-11-1-4, The Henckel Genealogy.

Edith's tombstone photo in file from Gwendolyn Arbogast Walton,"Edith Arbogast
Died 28 Oct 1879, Aged 78 years" No room on tombstone for mos. & days, so
probably born in 1801.
