When Adam Christain (likely middle name) Radabaugh and his twin brother Heinrich were born about 1755 in Womelsdorf, Berks, Pennsylvania, their father, Johann Adam Rudebaugh\/ Reidenbach\/ Radabaugh<\/a>, was 30, and their mother, Maria Barbara Fischer, was 25.\u00a0 Adam’s birth is verified by his father’s will.<\/p>\n

He married Elizabeth Catherine Simon<\/a> in 1780 in Hardy, West Virginia.\u00a0 They had six children:\u00a0 George, Jacob, Christain, Elizabeth<\/a>, Barbara Louise, and Benjamin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHistory of Upshur County\u201d by W.B. Cutright with material collected 1906-1907, page 539, 4th paragraph, gives information about Benton Radabaugh, as son of Adam Radabaugh and wife, Clara Eleanor Wagner.\u00a0 It goes on to explain that Benton is the grandson of George Radabaugh\u00a0 and the \u201cgreat grandson of Adam Radabaugh, Sr., and Catherine Simons, who were citizens of Chillicothie, Ohio, at the time of their death.\u201d\u00a0 In the case of this writing, Adam Jr is referenced as a \u201cSr.\u201d because he is the eldest \u201cAdam\u201d. \u00a0The table below provides and breakdown of the relationships in the paragraph.\u00a0 Evidence for each generation is given in the \u201cList of Documentation\u201d. \u00a0The \u201cHistory of Upshur County\u201d by W.B. Cutright, 1906-1907, page 539, 4th paragraph provides acceptable evidence of the marriage of Adam Radabaugh, son of the patriot, and Catherine Simon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This paragraph also provides evidence for the death of Adam Jr in Chillicothie, Ohio.\u00a0 The historical society in Chillicothe, could not produce any additional records. Deed and chancery records were searched in both Chillicothie, Ohio, and Virginia with no results.\u00a0 No guardianship record was located for the children.\u00a0 No will has been found for Adam Radabaugh, Jr., likely because he was unprepared for death at his youthful age.<\/p>\n

Indirect evidence will provide a reasonable conclusion that he died after 1806. The closeness of the death dates with Adam Sr., the patriot in Hardy County, Virginia, and his son Adam Jr., in Chillicothe, Ohio, are likely another reason for the confusion that has resulted with the mixing of their historical records.<\/p>\n

More information from the \u201cHistory of Upshur County\u201d on page 540 that provides evidence about the son Benjamin and narrows the timeframe of Adam Radabaugh\u2019s death. Page 540, states \u201cBenjamin Radabaugh, who emigrated from Ohio to West Virginia, settled the farm now owned by his son Sandusky Radabaugh.\u201d\u00a0 The death certificate of Benjamin Radabaugh gives his birth as 1803 in Ohio does have the person reporting his death as \u201cS. Radabaugh, son\u201d.\u00a0 As further evidence, the 1850 census in Harrison County, Virginia, has Sandusky in the household of\u00a0 Benjamin Radabaugh and supports this family returned from Ohio. \u00a0Pulling out the pieces of information, and backward engineering them, it is reasonable to conclude that Benjamin was the son of Adam and Catherine Radabaugh. \u00a0Additionally, it provides evidence that Adam Radabaugh Jr.\u2019s death was after 1803 when his son, Benjamin, was born.<\/p>\n

Adam Radabaugh Sr.\u2019s estate was settled in 1807, all of the assets were sold.\u00a0 Many family member names were among those who purchased items; but not Adam Jr.\u00a0 It is possible that was due to the distance of residing in Ohio.\u00a0 It is also possible that Adam Jr was deceased after 10 September 1806 but before 1810.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
