2. | Allen Arthur was born about 1795 in South Carolina (son of Thomas Arthur and Elizabeth Courtney); died on 19 Dec 1878 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. Notes:
Casagranda notes that he was accused of killing Louis Blackman of Sabine County, Texas in 1826, and he fled into the Neutral Strip. He was said to have returned to Nacogdoches to stand trial, but as Louis's brother Bennett Blackman, who had accused him of the deed did not appear in court, the charges were dropped.
Several online trees show him as Allen Taylor Arthur, Sr., however, this is not a certainty.
