William Arthur
(1762 - 1847)

Anna Nancy Watts
(1762 - 1848)
​

At this time, my research has only been able to prove that William Arthur lived and died in Bedford County, Virginia.  Documentation found proves that he married Ann Watts in September of 1782.

The only child I have proven to be theirs is William Arthur, Jr. born in 1796.

There seem to be several William Arthur's in this time frame in Bedford County.  Others claim to have only a daughter, and many different wives.  Research is on-going.
