FIRST GENERATION
1. Barnabas ARTHUR was born about 1735
in , Lunenburg Co., Virginia.
He was prosecuted along with others on 9 Nov 1752 in , Caroline Co.,
Virginia.1,2,3 Thomas Lee believed that prosperity depended on strict
enforcement of the laws to limit tobacco produced for export, and in keeping
with his belief ordered county courts to force constables to make oath
that they visited every plantation in their precincts and determined if
the laws stinting (limiting) the number of plants under cultivation and
banning the tending of seconds were being obeyed. Barnabas Arthur
and others were arrested and fined 1,000 pounds of tobacco each. Not sure
if this Barnabas was the son of John or the son of his brother William.
Both were teenagers and probably not married.

3. Lucy ARTHUR was born about 1755 in , Bedford Co., Virginia.
She received a Land Grant: 200 acres in Wilkes Co., Georgia in 1786
in , Wilkes Co., Georgia.50
She was married to James MCKELROY.
4. Mathew ARTHUR Sr. was born about 1756 in , Bedford Co.,
Virginia.53 According to the 1820 census, Mathew is over 45.
And in the 1830 census for Barnabas Arthur in Habersham Co., Georgia,
an older male is in the household, in the 70 to 80 age group. Since
Mathew participated in the 1832 Gold Lottery, and is in no other census
for 1830, unless missed by the census takers, he is possibly this older
male. This would place his year of birth sometime around 1760, possibly
before. Since no census exists prior to 1820 for Georgia, the task
of determining his age is difficult without other evidence. He served
in the military in 1772 in , Bedford Co., Virginia. Joined when he
was 16, served for 3 months. He served in the military between 1776
and 1783 in , , Virginia. Served in Virginia under Capt. Leftwich,
Regiment Commanded by Col. calloway. Volunteered in Bedford Co.,
Virginia served several tours in Virginia, arresting Tories.

Reconstructed census for Georgia. Original returns were lost when
the British captured the city of Washington in 1812 and burned many of
the government buildings. Deed, court and other official records
were used to rebuild the census. There is another Mathew Arthur in
Georgia enumerated in Wilkes Co. These are the same people.
Mathew Arthur was originally granted 200 acres of land in Wilkes Co., Georgia.
It is possible that Mathew never moved, just lived in an area that was
called Wilkes Co. and was used to create Franklin Co. by the time the reconstruction
was attempted.

Co., Georgia.94 10/2/98: At this writing, I am not sure where or
when Mathew and Caty Arthur are married. I have written Wilkes Co.,
Georgia, however, it could just have easily been somewhere in Virginia.
There is no record of their marriage in the Bedford Co. or Campbell Co.,
Virginia marriage records. I have yet to find any record in Wilkes
or Franklin Co., Georgia. Since the records of most Georgia counties
during this period are not complete, it is likely that we may never have
an accurate date or location. The knowledge that we have that Mathew
married Caty ______ is the mention of her name with Mathew's in a deed
for Franklin Co., Georgia in 1795.
"Deed: 31 December 1794, recorded 2 November 1795. MATHEW ARTHUR,

"In the name of God Amen. I, Barnabas Arthur, of the county of Bedford
being

helped me
with do make ordain and constitute this my last will and testament

Imprimus: It is my will that all my debts be paid off as soon as possible

then it is my will that the tract of land I now live do constitute

Item: I give and bequeath unto my grandsons JAMES MAXEY and BARNABAS
MAXEY the
sum of five pounds each to be their full share of my estate.
Item: In consequence of long and faithful service of my negro man George
and my
negro Betty, it is my desire that they be emancipated, whenever the
laws of this
state will allow it and they have the tract of land I purchased of
Benjamin
Williamson for and during the term of their natural lives; to live
upon and
maintain their idiot daughter Amy and until they can be so emancipated
it is my
will that they shall live upon said land and maintain their said daughter
and
have all the profits of their labor, under the direction of my son
LEWIS and
moreover that they be furnished with one year provision out of my estate
whenever they leave it in consequence of this article and the said
negroes are
not to be considered or appraised as part of my estate.
Item: The residue of my estate both real and personal, after executing
the above
bequests together with the part left my wife, after her decease and
that left to
my negroes George and Betty, after their decease, I give and bequeath
in equal
shares unto my children JOHN ARTHUR, WILLIAM ARTHUR, LEWIS ARTHUR,

Barnabas (X) Arthur
Accounting of the property given by Barnabas Arthur to sundry of his
children
over and above what others have received:

Lewis Arthur - One (1) tract of land --------------- $100.00
William Arthur - Land and cash --------------------- $ 80.00

Given unto my hand and seal this 2nd day of March 1815; Teste: J. Leftwich,

Signed by: Barnabas Arthur (his mark) He died before 24 Apr 1815
in , Bedford
Co., Virginia. His estate was probated on 20 Jul 1815 in , Bedford
Co.,
Virginia.2 Court held for probation of Will of Barnabas Arthur
convened 24
April 1815, but was continued until the actual day of probation on
20 July 1815.
Inventory and Appraisement of the Estate of Barnabas ARTHUR", Inventory
taken 24
August 1815, approved on 27 November 1815. The estate was valued at
$5,801.31.
Items included horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, wagon, 122 bushels of wheat,
10
adult slaves, 22 negro boys, 65 barrels of corn, and leaf tobacco.
The widow's
dower as $1,953.77, Negro George 35 acres of land and nine bushels
of corn, and
Barnabas Marcy's legacy left in hands of executor. According
to the will of
Barnabas, 4th child of John and Rebecca of Goose Creek, his wife was
Nancy; from
Bedford County Deeds we find a Barnabas with a wife named Elizabeth
who was
still alive in 1802.
It is believed by some that Barnabas married second to Nancy Williamson,
3
January 1811, as per marriage records of Bedford County, Va.
Others have stated
that his second wife was Nancy Clayton. I offer no proof for
either claim. It
can be stated for sure is that Barnabas was married first to Elizabeth
who died
after 1802 and then married second to Nancy. There were numerous
Barnabas
Arthurs around Bedford, Campbell, and Franklin Co.'s at the same time,
making
identification of each very difficult.
He was married to Elizabeth (ARTHUR). Elizabeth ARTHUR was born
about 1735.
She died after 1802 in , Bedford Co., Virginia. Barnabas ARTHUR
Sr. and
Elizabeth ARTHUR had the following children:

/CLAYTON was born about 1735. She died after 1815.
SECOND GENERATION
2. (Phebe?) ARTHUR was born about 1750 in , Bedford Co., Virginia.
She died
before 1815. Her given name is not known. The only reference
that indicates it
might be Phebe has to do with a death record of one of the children
of Josiah
and Phebe (?) Arthur Maxey. However, in the will of Barnabas
Arthur, Sr. the
only mention of grandchildren are in reference to Barnabas Arthur Maxey
and
James Maxey. Since the will was written many years after Josiah's
death, one
might assume that since the other children were not mentioned then
they may have
come from another marriage. Josiah's wife's name in his will
of 1793 is given
as Phebe, but it is not known if her maiden name is Arthur.
She was married to Josiah MAXEY Sr. (son of Walter MAXEY and Mary Ann
NETHERLAND). Josiah MAXEY Sr. was born in 1739 in , Goochland
Co., Virginia.
