Posted on: Webster Parish, La. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/La/Webster/392 Surname: Arthur ------------------------- Noticed your message from back in Feb. 1999 mentioning an ancestor of yours marrying a Mary Jane Arthur. In looking for my La. Arthurs have located two Arthur Families in Claiborne Parish in the 1860 census. One on page 700.gif which is my great great grandfather and family, located near the Flat Lick P.O. Flat Lick was between Minden and Homer. The other, a Phillip Arthur on page 747.gif (Homer survey area)has a 15 year old female, initials M.J. which may be the Martha Jane you are looking for, although it shows her born in Miss. Phillip may be the brother of T.R. (Thomas Rhodes Arthur). I do not know that. Per the La. enlistment records that I have found, TR had three sons in the 17th La. Reg. and Phillip had two. Four of them enrolled on the same day, same location. Hope this is of help to you and perhaps you have some Arthur info. that you could pass on to me. I can't find the parents of TR, supposedly born in Ga., birth date of 1-1-1813 and buried in Smith Co. Tx, d 5-21-1873. Thanks, Bob Arthur
