  • Following is the text from the bio found on Find A Grave memorial #17346123. Documentation for some of the facts included have not yet been noted on this profile. In some cases, it is also difficult to differentiate some records between this James, and his nephew, James (Arbuckle-227), son of Thomas Arbuckle (Arbuckle-198). Further substantiation, edits, and additions welcome!

"James Arbuckle was a Captain in the 1812 Militia from Jefferson County.; IN. His commission was dated 4 February 1811 and signed at Vincennes by William Henry Harrison, Governor of Indiana Territory. James took oath of office on 1 August 1811. He was Captain in the 1St Battalion of the 1St Regiment of Militia in Jefferson County.

There is a deed dated 3 August 1813 in Jefferson Co. from James and Mary, but Mary does not sign. I believe she was either ill or died shortly before this deed, but the is no proof either. This deed was to John Arbuckle for $2000.00; but was not recorded until 17 July 1820. had james died?! John just turned 21,

From the "Western Eagle" (Newspaper), Lexington, Indiana Territory, Saturday, October 28, 1815 comes this story. "We regret to state, that on Saturday night last, the new and just finished dwelling house belonging to Capt James Arbuckle, about 5 miles from this place, on the road leading to Madison, was consumed by fire. Capt. A.., we understand, had contemplated removing into his new home on that day before the catastrophe happened, but for some reason he did not. We further learn there had not been any fire in the house for more than a week - it appears therefore, that this deed of darkness must have been the act of some unprincipled incendiary. Capt James Arbuckle's loss, we understand, may be computed to about five hundred dollars.

James evidently soon replaced his house, which has been dated about this time. Until a few years ago descendants of the family still lived there. In the past 10 years the house has fallen into disrepair and may be entirely gone by now.

Captain JamesArbuckle 2nd. married Francis " Fanny" (Arbuckle) Lawrence on 18 May 1815 Jefferson County Indiana. Francis was the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth ( Lawrence) Arbuckle and widow of Samuel Lawrence.

Capt. James Arbuckle was called an Early Settler in Indiana Quarterly Magazine of History, September 1916, Vol 12- Vol 12 No 3 page 228. James Settled and bought land in Clark County; Indiana 1808... His Military Commission now of Dr Phillips Works. in Denver, Colorado, appointing him Capt, in the First Battalion of The First Regiment of Jefferson County, Indiana. was dated February 4, 1811 and signed at Vincennes by William Henry Harrison. Governor of Ind. Territory...

A land patent was issued to James Arbuckle, June 16, 1812 and was signed by James Madison. That part of Clark County, Indiana became Jefferson County, Indiana in 1810...

Note: James Arbuckle finished building his two story Brick Home and Mill in October 15, 1815 Jefferson County, Indiana, and was said he finished building his home 5 years before he died...

He first married Mary Powell and second married Francis "Fanny" Lawrence.. and after James death and Fanny married a third time to Phillip Redenbaugh.
