Henry ARNSPIGER5,6,56 was born about 1778. He had his estate probated in 1833 in Jessamine County, Ky.93 The appraisal of the estate shows the estate settled 26 Sept
1834. Note signed by Stephen Arnspiger and Henry Rhorer. On
14 Sept 1836 a deed in Jessamine county (Book M, p 40) shows
Elizabeth Arnspiger, widow of Henry Arnspiger, selling to
Johnson Mitchell, 95+ acres on Jessamine creek. On 26 Mar 1838
an Indenture for sale of Henry Arnspiger land by John Arnspiger
mentioning all living Henry Arnspiger heirs at this time, i.e.
John, Stephen, David, Samuel, Mary Grow, wife of Christopher
Grow, Sarah, Catherine all over 21 years, also George and
Frances infants under 21 years. Samuel was named guardian.
By this time Elizabeth had died. He died before 31 Aug 1833 in Jessamine County, Ky.56,93 His reference number is 46. The dates for this individual are very questionable. He first
appears on a tax list in 1802. However, his first child was
born in Feb 1797 which means he had to have married in 1796.
Estimate his age at the time of his marriage as 18 years old.
Was he living with his father and that is why he is not on the
tax rolls??? Was he in another county?? Why does he not
appear until 1802??? Is he actually on the tax roll, just with
his name misspelled and therefore not found?? Did he stay in
Bedford county, PA, marry there and then come to Kentucky???
Is he in Fayette county, Kentucky which is what Jessamine
county Kentucky was in 1797??? The birth date for the first
child is sure level 4. If we estimate his age at 18 then he
was born in 1778. This is my hypothesis at this time.
8/11/99. He would have been 16 in 1795 when the family moved
to Kentucky. Perhaps he stayed behind with his uncle John
Bruner, who had power of attorney from Paul to sell his land in
Bedford. If he married in 1796, no record has been found in
Jessamine. Has anyone looked in Bedford?? Also perhaps
looking in Fayette county KY would be productive. Parents: Paul ARNSPIGER and Maria Dorothea BRUNER.
