(before 1660) where his wife soon died, leaving son, Samuel. He married (II) Anne BENNET, who left twelve children. Samuel, the son, born in Barbadoes before 1660, (will 1734), mentioned in Henrico Records, married Martha JONES, and had seven children. Of these the third son: Phillip (b. 1700-20) went, through Mecklenburg County, to Edgefield, SC about 1760; had three sons."

Does anyone have information on William Arthur and his family? My Arthur info. begins with Michael Arthur Sr. b. 1818. Larry Scott and several others have contributed to the desc. of several of the children. This family was found in Barnwell Co in 1850, in 1870 Gregg township, Edgefield Co, SC then Aiken Co., and Augusta, Richmond Co, GA. 1 Michael ARTHUR, Sr. b: February 01, 1815 in SC Burial: Stephen Arthur Cem., Aiken Co., SC . +Harriett Caroline BURKHALTER b: July 17, 1821 in SC Burial: Stephen Arthur Cem., Aiken Co., SC ..... 2 Stephen ARTHUR b: Abt. 1841 ..... 2 Sarah ARTHUR b: July 05, 1841 in Probably Barnwell Co, SC d: November 28, 1930 in Aiken Co, SC Burial: Town Creek Baptist Church, Aiken Co, SC ......... +John M.
