Biography

Col. Thomas Arthur and Sarah Arthur married in 1770 in the Scots-Irish settlement of Augusta County, Virginia. They were blessed with several children, Ambrose, Elizabeth, Mary, Milly, Sarah, Susanna, Thomas and JoAnna.

JoAnna Arthur first married William Arthur on August 14, 1787 in Bedford County, Virginia. Like her mother, JoAnna's maiden name and married name was Arthur. JoAnna and William celebrated the births of four children, Elizabeth, Gross Scruggs, William and Nancy. William passed soon after. In his will, he named JoAnna's brother, Ambrose Arthur, to manage his estate and guardian of the two minor children, William and Nancy.

JoAnna married her second husband, Moses Stuart McSpadden. They celebrated the many births of their eight children (and possibly an infant daughter).

JoAnna's untimely death came at some time after the birth of her last child in 1812.

By 1830, Moses were making their way to Georgia's land lottery with a stop off in Monroe County, Tennessee. By 1840, Moses lived in Cass County, Tennesse until his death in 1847.

Georgia was the only state to use the lottery (from 1805-1832) to distribute land taken from the Cherokee or Creek Indians. The 1832 Georgia Land Lottery and Gold Lottery gave the Cherokee Nation to Georgia settlers and sparked the Trail of Tears
