----------------------------------------

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 19, Ed. 1, Tree #0723]
Elizabeth Sageser, daughter of Jacob and Anna Maria Sageser, was born 4 Jun 1788 in Frederick County, Maryland. Her father and family came to Fayette County, Kentucky, from Maryland, in 1796. She married on 25 Jun 1805 in Fayette County, Kentucky, Christian Arnsparger, (Arnspiker in her fathers Will). Jacob Sageser gave consent, as her father, on the marriage consent. Christian was probably the son of Christopher and Catherine Arnsparger.

Family tradition says they returned to Maryland for several years, and most of their children were born there. Sabillasville, Maryland, Jessamine and Bourbon Counties in Kentucky are listed as places of residence for this family.

It is believed that Elizabeth died about Oct 1869. She had been a widow for some time, and in the 1850 Bourbon County, Kentucky census, she was supposedly living with her younger sons. An old note says that Christian Arnsparger, and others, were buried in the Old Union Graveyard near the Bourbon and Fayette County Line.
