The house John Arthur Jr built around 1820 in Franklin County Virginia. The Arthur family was considered well to do in their community in Virginia. John Arthur Jr died in 1844, and his wife, Charlotte, died in 1882. John Arthur 3rd, their son, was born here. He and his wife, Mary, lived here with his folks when they were first married. About three years later they moved to Texas where John Arthur 3rd founded the town of Saltillo, Texas (now known as Old Saltillo, Texas). The house shown here is bigger than it looks in the picture. Behind it on a hill is the family cemetery with about 90 to 100 graves. John died in 1844, and his wife, Charlotte, died in 1882. This place in Virginia was passed down to some of the children. To the right is a picture of the road sign near the house. Courtesy Wanda Corn
