The ancestors of this representative Pennsylvania family came from Germany on the ship "Edinburgh," which arrived at Philadelphia, Sept. 16, 1751. His name on the ship's list of passengers is recorded as Johannes Arbengast. He was married and had among others two sons, Ludwig and Johannes. Johannes Arbogast, the son of Johannes, who emigrated, became one of the pioneer settlers in the territory which was embraced in the original Penn township, Snyder county. This territory was included in old Northumberland county, which was organized in 1772. That this pioneer planned well and was a most industrious and prosperous citizen of colonial Pennsylvania is evidenced by his many recorded land purchases and by his last will and testament which covers two pages, viz, 145 and 146, in Will Book 2, in the register's office at Sunbury, Pa. The will is a model in many respects, and reflects the noble character of the testator, who divided a very large estate among his five sons and three daughters, and for his dear wife, Catharine, who survived him, he provided most liberally.

The executors of the will were his sons, John and Ludwig Arbogast; and the witnesses to the document were his neighbors, John Moatz and Nich. Roth (or Rath). The will was made on the 15th day of April, 1811, and probated May 14th of the following month. It is evident that John Arbogast, the pioneer, passed from this life into his reward between these two dates. The names of the children follow in order as they are named in the will:
He mentions his wife (Catherine), and the following children; Nicholas; Peter; John, Jr.; Ludwig (Lewis); William; Catherine (Mrs. Christopher Shotzberger); Anna Maria (Mrs. Jacob Felmly), and Barbara (Mrs. John Zwally.)
