    "Abraham Dipboye first saw the light of day in Carlisle, Pa, abt 1787, and there grew to manhood. He married Rose Anna Goodyear, a native of Germany who came with her parents, George and Arbena (Summers) Goodyear, to Pennsylvania when but a girl. In that state her parents passed the remainder of their days."
    "After his marriage Abraham Dipboye resided in Pennsylvania until after the birth of three children, and moved to New Market, Virginia about 1813. From there he moved to Henry County, Ind., in 1835, and located on a farm in Fall Creek Twp, where he died about one year later. He was a plasterer by occupation and followed that trade until his death. He was a well educated man and quite a linguist, speaking English, high and low German, and French with fluency. Studious and well posted, he was a brilliant conversationalist, and a man well posted on the current topics of the day. He was especially fond of history, and had a wonderful memory. A worthy member of the Christian Church, he was recognized as a consistant Christian man. In politics he was a Whig. By attending carefully to business he became quite wealthy, and passed his closing days in peace and comfort. His wife died in Henry County, Ind., about 1873."
