Hi, there is no ARTER, but there is a mention of an ARTHER: (could be your family line? Maybe a typo in the book?) pg. 30 " Henry McDaniel, the first settler of Walnut Township was born Nov. 7, 1763, in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Sometime in 1779 he enlisted in Col. Lynch's regiment of Virginia Militia, serving in Capt. THOMAS ARTHER's company of Rangers." --April. "Charlotte R. Mitchell" <[email protected]> wrote: Hello again, April. Is there anything about any people with the surname ARTER from Gallia or Jackson counties? Thanks again. Charlotte R. Mitchell --------------------------------- Fussy? Opinionated?
