I am not related to your John Arthur(s) line. But, I feel as you did, at last, a connection. I have read John Arthurs Rev. War Pension papers, no dates, no wife, no heirs.... and wondered who this man was. I am related to the other John Arthur 1758, of the Rev. War. Pension papers. He is not my direct line either, but son of my direct. I am glad you found your connection and shared with us all. Thanks.
