Notes |
- Source is Amanda Arbogast Forbes file with reference to correspondence
with Grace Emahiser of Fostoria, OH. Tombstone indicates death at 39 yrs.
Centennial Biogaraphical History of Seneca Co., OH indicates death in 1835.
Same history lists children Phoebe, Christina, Jesse and Michael. Grace's
husband is Geo. Clifton Emahiser, a descendant of Andrew, #2803, and Barbara
(Wimer) Arbogast.
From History of Seneca County, Ohio, Illustrated, 1886, Warner, Beers & Co.,
Chicago. Tiffin-Seneca County Public Library, 76569-85. Page 552, Pioneers
and Incidents of Pioneer Times..."Peter Arbogast, who died in 1833, owned the
west half of southwest quarter of Section 16, Township 2 north, Range 14 east.
He settled here in 1826. Mrs. Sophia Arbogast died in 1861. Michael Arbogast,
born in Virginia in 1824, came here when two years old, and is now a resident
of Seneca Township. Page 987, Michael Arbogast, farmer, P.O. Tiffin, was born
in Virginia, 1 Aug 1824, a son of Peter and Sophia Arbogast, natives of
Virginia, where they first settled; thence came to this county in 1826,
locating in Hopewell Township, where they lived and died, the former in 1833,
and the latter in 1861. Our subject (Michael, ed.) was united in marriage, 19
Dec 1847, with Jane Gedulting, born in Frederick Co., MD, a daughter of Jacob
and Elizabeth Gedulting. Mrs. Arbogast departed this life 6 Jan 1849, and our
subject then married, 11 Mar 1852, for his second wife, Jane R. Stoner, born in
Frederick Co., MD, 18 Jan 1825, a daughter of Henry and Sarah Stoner. Father
of nine children, all named except an infant, as recorded, six living in 1886.
Jane R. (Stoner) Arbogast died 23 Jun 1882. Our subject has met with fair
success and now owns 300 acres of land". A photo of Michael appears therein.
Peter is obviously a descendant of Michael Arbogast, unplaced at this time.
On 1830 census, Seneca Co., OH, age 30-40 bracket. Also two males age 20-30
bracket unidentified.
