The following is from Bill Smith:
Hargrove Arthur (1752-1817), b. in Caroline County Virginia, d.
Cayce, Lexington County, South Carolina. So far, he is the beginning of
the Arthur family.
Three brothers, William, Hargrove, and Ambrose, moved from Caroline
County, Virginia, before the Revolutionary War (about 1765), to South
Carolina, setteling in what is now Lexington County.
The second of these three brothers, married Mary Reese, the daughter
of Rev. Joseph Reese of Pincushion Place, before 1785, when Rebecca
Arthur was born in South Carolina.
