James Arthur lived in Batavia township, where, in 1805, his daughter, Mary, married Hugh Ferguson, father of the venerable Hon. James Ferguson, of Clay county, Indiana, formerly auditor of this county, and owner of the Sun paper. Mr Arthur as late as 1840 was living in Ohio township. Isaac Ferguson was of the famous house of Ferguson Ireland, and the son of Thomas Ferguson, who was with Washington at Braddock's defeat. Isaac served for four years in the "days that tried men's souls," came to Kentucky in 1784, was in the fight with the Indians in Jackson township in 1791, with the Kentucky boys under Kenton, and in 1793 crossed over the river and settled below New Richmond, where he established "Ferguson's Ferry." He died in 1818, leaving seven sons and three daughters. The sons were Isaiah - father of the late Representative Hon. Ira Ferguson - Zachariah, Hugh, Isaac, Francis, James and Thomas.
