Notes:

From ROSEMARY PICKETT PAPERS.

Notes:

Migrated to Champaign Co., now Clark Co., OH, about 1811, killed there in
1813. Land Bounty for war service? Relocated with brothers, David and Peter.
Father of several children. See Biographical Album of Clark and Greene Cos.,
by Chapman Bros., 1890, page 295. Also Court Records of Clark Co. This
information from Amanda Arbogast research.

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).

Records of daughter, Mary, indicate Michael had two wives. Considering all
available information, Mary was probably his first wife, Elizabeth his second.

Pendleton Co. History. The Peter Arbogsast who married Henry Arbogast's daughter also not placed.

Christened:
Michael was baptized on 27 Sept 1732.

Buried:
"Take Wimer Mountain road from Blue Grass, at the intersection with Hardscrabble road, continue north on Wimer Mountain, go approximately 3/10 mile. On the left will be a pond. The two rocks marking the graves are on the right side of the road. The graves sit almost in the fence row, if the grass is high its difficult to see them from the road. "

Michael married Mary E Samuels about 1758 in Prb Frederick Co, Va. Mary was born in 1736; died in 1772. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

History of Pendleton (Highland Co.), by Morton, indicate Mary as wife. First

signature appears on deed, documents, etc.

See Deed Book 19, page 267, 130 acres on head of South Branch of Potowmackpatented to Michael Arbocust, undated, but adjacent entries indicate the year
was 1773; Augusta Co., VA. Also Deed Book 23, page 90, 17 Aug 1779, conveying
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.

Only Mary's given name is on record, her full name has not been proven by documents at this time.

Notes:

Married:
No actual marriage record has, as of yet, been found for Michael and Mary. And as of yet only Mary's given name has been documented.
