Hugh Arthur, the earliest known ancestor, was born in the north of Ireland, from whence he emigrated, in the early part of the eighteenth century on account of political complications, settling in Baltimore, Maryland. His occupation was that of millwright, in which he had attained eminence by reason of natural skill and ability, and was in consultation with Robert Fulton in his steam navigation experiments. During the war of 1812 he served in the militia at Baltimore, rendering efficient service. He was a Protestant in religion. His wife, Margaret (Cathcart) Arthur, came from the north of Ireland in the same sailing vessel with Hugh Arthur, but they were not acquainted at the time ; they met later in the city of Baltimore, where her family also settled. She was also a Protestant in religion.
