  • Notes 
    • The Crabbottom area was part of Pendleton Co., VA and became part of Highland
      Co., VA when Highland was formed in 1847.

      Date of birth is from a tombstone and obituary which correspond with census
      records, but family bible indicates 1837. However, on all census records he is
      listed as two years older than his wife. John W. was Sheriff of Highland Co.
      from 1879 to 1890. He was a bugler in the Civil War, A Co., 14th VA Cav., CSA.

      Tombstone record, obituary, marriage, family bible all in possession of Amanda
      Crawford Arbogast Forbes who also provided this compiler with all of this
      information.
