 v. ELIZABETH ARTHUR, b. Bet. 1805 - 1810, Oglethorpe Co., GA; d. Aft. 1828, unknown; m. WILLIAM ZUBER, 10 January 1828, Oglethorpe Co., GA.

Notes for ELIZABETH ARTHUR:
Ted Brooke:  Primary Sources:
1.  1820 census, Oglethorpe Co., GA., page 187:  (Barnabas Arthur head)
     1 female 10-16  (Elizabeth).
2.  1828, 10 Jan:  Oglethorpe Co.,GA., marriage record-Elizabeth Arthur & William Zuber.
3.  1830 census:  Williamson  Zuber(county & page?).  1 female 30-40.
4.  Gary Arthur found no later listing of William (etc) Zuber in any later Oglethorpe Co., GA census.
     (What about anywhere in GA.?)
NOTES:
1.  Williamson (sic) Zuber is spelling given in Barnabas Arthur estate returns, Oglethorpe Co., GA,  1828
     and in the 1830 census conflicts with that given in the 1820 census.

 vi. JOHN ARTHUR, b. Bet. 1805 - 1810, Oglethorpe Co., GA; d. Aft. 1820, unknown.

Notes for JOHN ARTHUR:
Ted Brooke:  Primary Sources:
1.  1820 census, Oglethorpe Co., GA., page 187:  (Barnabas Arthur head):
     1 male  10-16  (John Arthur)
2.  1830 census, Oglethorpe Co., GA., pag 102:   John Arter (sic) note that this enumeration for John does
     not agree with the 1820 census):
     1 male  10-15       2 females  5-10

                                        1 female 20-30 (wife, name unknown)
3.  1840 (and later) census:  not located.
NOTES:
1.  There is a marriage record of a John Arthur to Matilda Gibson on 08 Sep. 1817 in Oglethorpe Co., GA.,
     but that must be a different John Arthur.

Kirk Arthur has his birthdate as Abt. 1797 in Bedford Co., VA. Listed as John H. Arthur.

 vii. NANCY ARTHUR, b. Bet. 1805 - 1810, Oglethorpe Co., GA; d. Bef. 03 March 1832, Oglethorpe Co., GA.

Notes for NANCY ARTHUR:
Ted Brooke:  Primary Sources:
1.  1820 census, Oglethorpe Co., GA., page 187: (Barnabas Arhtur head)
     1 female 10-16  (Nancy)
2.  1830 census, (county & page?):  John Eason head:
     1 male  5-10                                 1 female 5-10
     1 male 20-30                                1 female 10-15
     1 male 40-50                                1 female 15-20
                                                          2 females 20-30
3.  1832, 03 March:  Oglethorpe Co., GA., return on estate of Barnabas Arthur shows Nancy Arthur is
     deceased.
4.  1840 census (county & page?): John Eason, age 50-60, reported by Gary Arthur.
NOTES:
1.  1832, 03 March, Oglethorpe Co., GA., return on estate of Barnabas Arthur shows a John Eason  
     receiving a share for his deceased wife, Nancy Arthur; on 10 Dec 1807, there is a marriage in      Oglethorpe Co., GA, of Nancy Arthur and John Eason, but the dates do not agree; what is wrong here?
     One theory:  If Barnabas, father of Nancy, had been married prior to his marriage in 1800 to Mary      Burditt, Nancy may have been a child of that earlier marriage; if she IS the one who married in 1807,      then she was not in the Barnabas household in 1820, so who was that?
2.  Additional research needs to be done to check 1820 census for John Eason.

 viii. *THOMAS (SR) ARTHUR, b. Abt. 1805, Oglethorpe Co., GA; d. Oglethorpe Co. GA.
 ix. JANE ARTHUR, b. 1810, Oglethorpe Co., GA; d. Aft. 1860, unknown.

Notes for MARGARET ARTHUR:
Ted Brooke:  Primary Sources:
1.  1820 census, Oglethorpe Co., GA., page 187:  (Barnabas Arthur head):
      1 female under 10  (Margaret Arthur)
2.   1833 Oglethorpe Co., GA., return to estate of Barnabas Arthur, dec'd, shows that Margaret is a minor
      (under 16) at that time.

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

THOMAS (TOM)6 ARTHUR (*THOMAS (SR)5, *BARNABAS (JR)4, *BARNABAS (SR)3, *JOHN (SR.)2, *THOMAS1) was born 21 June 1857 in Oglethorpe Co., GA, and died in Brady (Coleman) TX.  He married (1) *HATTIE M. BUTLER 22 April 1879 in ? Clark Co. GA (Source: Have copy of mar.rec. Name was misspelled "ARTER".), daughter of *WILLIAM BUTLER and *MELISSA SORROW.  She was born 23 January 1862 in ? Clark Co, GA, and died 12 November 1944 in Waco (McLennan) TX.  He married (2) MISSOURI BASSETT 1910 in Brady (Coleman) TX.  She was born 1909 in Brady (Coleman) TX.

Notes for *HATTIE M. BUTLER:
In 1985 when I started this research, I found that my Gr.Grandmother (Hattie Butler Arthur) had only a small cemetary marker.  This was found after much digging as the marker had sank into the ground about 5 or 6 inches. After calling the cem. office, it was dug up and replaced.  This continued to bother me
so in the summer of 1986 I ordered a small headstone of pink Georgia Granite for her grave. Two of her grandchildren, Jane Whitehurst Hawkins & Juanita Whitehurst Boyd also contributed to the cost.
