Rodenbach,Israel Jacob, PA, moved to KS
I recently found out that my maiden name (Roadenbaugh) was changed from Rodenbach.The story that I was given was that my great-grandfather Israel Jacob, or simply Jacob, had left his family in Pennsylvania and run off to Kansas with the family cook, changing his name to Roadenbaugh once he got there.The only concrete information I have about him is that he was born Dec. 4, 1855, he married Ida Elizabeth Arbogast, who was born Nov. 6, 1864, they had 8 children: Austin, Belton, Beulah, Minnie, Mazie, Mable, Henry, and Sylvia, and he died Nov. 28, 1911 and is buried in Zimmerdale, KS.Can anyone confirm this story?
