Research Notes

In 1784 an Adam Orback appears in the list of Anthony Rader along with an Andrew Orback in the Head of Families Virginia page 77. This list is made up of people near Timberville.

In the 1792 Tenth Legion Tithables, No. 9 – East Dist (Page 40) is the same area. Andrew Orebough appears as well as Adam Oreboh with son Wm. This is most likely the William Oarbaugh who married Magdalen Stoutmier and is buried in Rader’s Lutheran Church Cemetery. There are many Orebaugh in this cemetery. Some have connected them to the Hessian Oberbach/Oberbeck/Overpeck family from Bucks, Pennsylvania.

In 1995, Larry G. Shuck published a genealogical memorial entitled “Our Families - Shuck, Fleshman, Sydenstricker, Smith, Lewis, Kincaid, Keister, et al of West Virginia”.

Page 374-376:

In 1765, Rudolph (this is the Adam Arbaugh whose will dated 12 Mar 1798, proved: 27 Mar 1808, Greenbrier) and Mary Eurabough have a survey of 221 acres in Rockingham on the Shenandoah County line. On the next page, they note that this land was sold in 1771. Of the 221 acres, 26 acres went to Adam Eurebough (this Adam) and the remainder to William Stolp, father-in-law of Andrew Orbough. Adam Orbough of Rockingham later deeded this land to sons William and Christian in 1819. These are the Orebough found in the Rader’s Church Cemetery.
