Person:Henry Arnspiger (4)

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.
