Cindy,
I do not have that much information.I know that John and Sarah Walters Rodebaugh are the parents of William F. Rodebaugh b. March 1849 from this death certificate.I found Sarah age 36 in the 1860 census: Concord Elkhart, IN
Sarah Rodabaugh 36 b.PA
Lovina 12 b OH
William F 11 b OH
James H 9 b OH
Thoams H 7 b OH
Benton 5 b IN
Mary J 3 b IN
George H b IN
I cannot find them in 1870.In 1880 W Frank is back
in Medina, Ohio. with his family. It appears that George
is also in Medina.
In "Portrail and Biographical Album of Stephenson Co. Ill" Chicago 1888 there is a sketch on Thomas Rodebaugh who came from Medina Ohio. in the 1840s.It would appear that he is the brother of John.Both born in Centre Co. PA the sons of John Rodebaugh a native of Dauphin Co. Pa. son of Peter who was born in Germany son of Matthias who came to PA before the Rev. Peter and then son John moved to Medina Ohio. This article gives the wife of John (father of Thomas and John) as Polly Bughman a native of Northumberland Co. PA. Children of this couple Susanah, Mary, Mary, Betsey, Elizabeth, Thomas, John and Lovinia.
I have no proof that John and Polly are the parents of John but it is a pretty good guess that they are.
