Notes |
- Lewis Co., WV Birth Records per Amanda Arbogast Forbes Record 282 on file.
Lewis Co., WV census of 1880, age 9; name, Manda E.
Listed as Maude E. Halterman, survivor of brother, Thomas D. in Sep 1932. See
Thomas D. Arbogast obituaries in file.
Reconciliation of all children of Adam and Elizabeth Arbogast indicates strong
probability that this child is the Amanda E. on birth record, Manda E. on 1880
census and Maude E. Halterman on brother, Thomas D. Arbogast, obituary. There
were 5 Highland Co. births and 9 Lewis Co. births recorded for a total of 14.
Census of Lewis Co., WV 1880 indicates 13 children not including Henry, born
1973 and who probably died before the census, thus not included in Thomas D.'
obituary either; for a total of 14 children. Obituary lists 12 surviving
siblings including Maude E. Halterman (a.k.a. Amanda E. and Manda E.).
Assuming Wm. M. as well as Henry died before the obituary, this would also
account for 14 total children. This is my best estimate from the information
available - C. J. Eades, 5 Mar 1992.
1900 Census of Lewis Co., WV; on census with husband. Lewis Co., WV, Marriage
Record 18 Apr 1892; Amanda E. Arbogast, age 20, born Highland Co., VA and James
W. Halterman, age 24, born Lewis Co. Place of birth of Amanda differs on
birth record from that indicated on marriage record.
1900 Lewis Co. census has Amanda and James in household of Sarah Vandevender,
a widow; their aunt. Obit of brother John, Mrs. Amdanda Halterman, 1937,
Weston, WV.
