Lillian, Thanks so much for your research. We think our George is probably related to Christian and the rest of the Bobsts in Rushville at this time, but can find no evidence this is absolutely true. In 1854, Christian and the rest of his family moved to Nebraska and became some of the first settlers there. http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/kibble/93/bobst.htm With Christian is his brother George T Bobst, who appears different than our George Bobst. In the 1860 Rushville census George and Wilymina and one child Samuel Bobst b.1849 are not found, and their surviving children- George Washington Bobst b1846, William Bobst b.1853, John Bobst b.1854, and David Lewis Bobst b.1857 are split up and living with three different families. One family is the Roberts, which is Wilymina's maiden name. So what happened to George, Wilymina and Samuel continues to be a mystery. If anyone else wants to join the hunt, any help would be appreciated.

Will of Mary Bobst - Estate File #1726 F.C. Wills & Estate Abstracts -Cases 1001-2000 p.56 Case 1726- estate of Mary Bobst of Rushville filed 1839, Administrators were Robert Paden/Patten and Daniel T. Bobst. Name mentioned Christian Bobst. Mary owned land in sec.28, twp.17,range 17 and a lot in Rushville. Marriages FC Marriage Book- Vol1 1800-1835 p.77 - Christian Bobst to Sally Bugh 18 Nov 1824 p.84 - Eliza Bobst to Robert Paden 6 Oct 1825 p.68 - Elizabeth to David Wilson 31 Oct 1822 p.72 - Mary Ann to David Colwell 13 Nov 1823 all these marriages performed by Andrew Henkel/Henkess/ Herkch/Herkley (spelling all different but appears the same name) Only one marriage after this time period in Vol.3 - p25 Mary Jane Bobst to Robert Turner 13 Oct 1852 MB2-30 ( this appears to be dtr. of Christian) Only Cemetery records found Rushville Pleasant Hill Cemetery (Richland Twp) p.19 Bobst - Thomas Ewing s/o Christian & Sarah d.3 Sept 1838 1yr5d - John s/o Christian & Sarah d.3 Aug 1827 2m4d - Daniel B s/o Christian & Sarah d.11 Nov 1832 b.9 Jan 1830 - Mary d. 27 Feb 1838 66y 9m 24d - Anna Barbara b.4Feb 1833 d. 23 Aug 1843 10y6m19d - Matilda M b.3 Aug 1826 d 14 Oct 1843 17y 2m 11d - Sarah dtr. of C. & S d.23 Nov 1851 8y 10m Paden - Thomas Bobst s/0 Robert & Eliza d.8 Sept 1828 4y4m22d - Eliza w/o Robert d.20 Dec 1849 42y I did a quick lookup on the census for your George Bobst and noticed he was born 1797 about. Possible that he is the George listed in the partitions abstract and brother to Daniel,Eliza,Elizabeth, Christian, Michael and Mary. Mary that died in 1839 would be his mother and marriages his siblings, but no marriage record found for him. Possible he married in other surrounding county. The only thing I found in the obituary abstracts was for David Wilson 1885 which is as follows: Vol3 p.7 June 13 1885 - David Wilson was born in Bedrod Co.PA on 8Sept 1797 and died in Eureka, Missouri 17 May 1885. He came to Fairfield C. OH with his parents in 1800 and maried Elizabeth Bobst on 30 Oct 1822. In 1860 they moved to Moargan Co.Missour to Tipton Missouri in 1862 and to Eureka Missouri 1880 to live with younest dtr. Mrs. A. B. Markley. He was the father of Mars. Robert Work of Fairfield Co.
