Notes for JAMES ARTHUR: 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.
