Excerpts from a Centennial History of the Arthur Family, by Elijah A. Arthur. Crawfordsville, Indiana. Washington, Indiana: Daviess County Historical Museum, 1937. James Arthur was born in Ireland about 1776, and came to America the latter part of the 18th century. He married a woman born in Wales. They were in Virginia for a time, then joined the stream of Western Emmigration that brought them to Kentucky, it is thought in Mason County near Mayslick. About the turn of the century, they joined a caravan consisting of several families who were bound for Old Post Vincennes, Indiana. Six of these families were: Arthur, Donaldson, Eskridge, McClellan, Robinson, and Wise. Most of these ultimately settled in southern Daviess County, Indiana. James Arthur and his wife, however, lived at Chelsea, about four miles east of Washington, Ind. There they reared their family of six children, three boys, and three girls. The eldest son James, is thought to have been born about 1798; Matthew, the second son was born March 22, 1800; John C., the third, was born Jan 26, 1801; Margaret, Mary, and Melvina followed in order, but no dates are known. The name was originally MacArthur, but after the settling of the family at Chelsea, James applied to the Government for naturalization. The matter was delayed for several months, and when at last the papers came the name had been inserted, James Arthur. No effort was made to have them corrected. There is no record of the death of James Arthur, but he was a man of delicate health and probably did not live beyond middle age. He is known to have been burried at Chelsea, but his grave is unmarked, and unknown. The Welsh wife who had been his bosom companion, and reared his six children, subsequently married a man named McKinley and lived with him and raised a family. Members of this family formerly made occasional visits with members of the Arthur family in Daviess County, notable Robert, Wash., and Albert McKinley, and others of a later generation. The six children born to James Arthur and wife grew to maturity, married, and established homes. All continued to live in Indiana, except James who returned to Kentucky, and reared a large family there.

- Excerpts from a Centennial History of the Arthur Family, by Elijah A. Arthur. Crawfordsville, Indiana. Washington, Indiana: Daviess County Historical Museum, 1937..

Matthew Arthur, the second son of James Arthur and his Welsh wife, was born Mar. 22, 1800, and died Mar. 27, 1852. He was married to Margaret Hopkins, sister of Samuel Hopkins, and together they reared three children. She outlived him many years, and became affectionately known in the family as, "Aunt Peggy Arthur." Their children were, Clarissa, Milton, and Mary Ann Arthur.

1. Clarissa was born April 3, 1823, and died February 13, 1863. She married Alfred Miller Sept. 18, 1843, and to them were born two children, Andrew Miller who married, and died without issue and Alice Miller who never married.

2. Milton Arthur died at the tender age of sixteen years.

3. Mary Ann Arthur was born Nov. 5, 1827, died Nov. 12, 1900. She married Andrew Jackson Hart, Feb. 8, 1854, but to them there was no issue.

Matthew Arthur is absent from the 1840 Census of Daviess County. His wife Margaret is present, as are his children. He must have died before 1852. One family source says he died in 1828. The last child was born in 1827.

Arthur the third son of James Arthur was born Jan. 26, 1801, and died July 5, 1842, and on Jan. 10, 1826 married Nancy Robinson. Their history will follow in a subsequent chapter.

John C. Arthur was the third son of James Arthur and his Welsh wife. At the age of twenty-five he was married to Nancy Robinson, a product of the Kentucky caravan aforementioned. They settled on a farm four miles southeast of Washington, and a mile south of the Vealescreek church.

John C. Arthur was, like his father James, not destined to long life, for he died at the early age of forty-one years. Nancy Robinson Arthur survived him fifty-one years, dying in the old family home July 23, 1893, at the age of 86 years. The names of their children were: Elizabeth, Elijah, Sarah, Lydia, James Robinson, William, John, and Mary, all of whom spent their entire lives in Indiana, and mostly in Daviess Co.

It seems that Melvina, known also as Lavina or Lanna, married first Jacob Burris, and then Asa Black. The following census records, coupled with the marriage records, indicate this.

- Excerpts from a Centennial History of the Arthur Family, by Elijah A. Arthur. Crawfordsville, Indiana. Washington, Indiana: Daviess County Historical Museum, 1937..

JAMES ROBINSON ARTHUR was born Sept. 30, 1834, and died Mar. 15, 1905. He was married to Lettie Ellen Steen Feb. 19, 1857. She was born Aug. 14, 1840, died Sept. 6, 1915. Soon after their marriage they established a home for themselves on the Portersville road in Harrison township, seven miles from Washington. Here they spent the remainder of their days. To them fifteen children were born, twelve of whom lived to middle age. James Arthur first engaged in the saw milling business with his brother William, then took to farming and stock raising. He built his home on a heavily timbered tract of land, rived clapboards to cover the house and farm buildings. And now long since, the two of them have gone to their reward. In the quiet Veals Creek churchyard, surrounded by their kith and kin, they rest side by side just as they had planned it.
