    • Ambrose Arthur, Kaziah Hargrove

      Benjamin Arthur (Ambrose, Thomas Barnabus, Henry, Andrew) was born 27 April 1737 in Lynchburg, VA, and died 27 March 1820 in Highland Co., OH. He married Anne Arthur 23 April 1765, daughter of William Arthur and Anne Murray. She was born 23 April 1741 in Campbell, VA, and died 17 October 1777 in Bedford County, VA.

      In Christos Christou and John Barnhouser book, The Descendants of John Arthur of Bedford Co., VA (b. abt. 1707, d: abt 1793) (125 Wiltshire Rd., Baltimore, MD 21221-6935, notes by author, September 1994, pp 2, 4-5, 10-13, states that Benjamin's parents, Ambrose b: abt. 1708 in Ireland -- the fourth (4th) Arthur brother, and his wife Keziah Hargrove, daughter of Augustine Hunnicutt Hargrove and Mary Lane, were killed by Indians and he was raised by his uncle William Arthur (1713) and aunt Ann Murray Arthur (1717). Benjamin would marry William and Ann Murray Arthur's daughter (his cousin) Anne Arthur (1741-1777) on April 23, 1765.

      Joseph Hargrove was bound to Benjamin Arthur on February 14, 1760 in Caroline Co., VA as found in John Frederick Dorman, Caroline County, VA Order Book 1759-1763. Thomas Arthur (1710), Benjamin's uncle, was Joseph Hargrove's guardian, and Joseph bound Joseph to work with Benjamin. Joseph was a minor brother of Benjamin's mother Keziah. Benjamin was raised by his uncle and not his grandparents, Augustine Hargrove and Mary Lane Hargrove even though they lived closer, and there were stories that Old Augustine was not "right in the head."
