    1. Historic MArker on Old 63
    2. Virginia
    3. Ray, The monument on Old 63 in Arthur, TN marks the spot where pionner James Robinson (Robertson-not sure which spelling) died. He was ambushed by Indians at Butcher Springs (Gap Creek) where he had stopped for water and escaped wounded . He got as far as the place where the marker is and was found dead there. I remember stories of this from my childhood. The monument has a brass plate on it with this information. The plate was missing for years and finally found and put back on the monument.
