• Notes

  (From WFT #1326) Adam in his will, named all his children, giving the family names for his married daughters. He mentions Mary as his wife. His will was made in 1798 and was probated in 1800. The Arbaughs were of German origin. They used various spellings for the name: Orbaugh, Orbau, Oback and other forms have been used. They very likely came from Pennsylvania to the Valley of Virginia where we find them located at the time of the Revolution. Two daughters of Adam Arbaugh married in the county of Shenandoah, 1785 and 1787; he is mentioned in the records of Augusta. He was in the military district headed up by Adam Rader. By 1792 he was living with his family in Greenbrier County, Virginia where three more of his children have marriage records.
