The Person Profile displays a list of the profiled person's branches.
Depending on mod options, this mod can turn each branch name in that list into a hyperlink that pops up a list of all branch members.
This mod's options determine whether anonymous visitors and logged-in users are allowed to see the detailed branch information, and thus whether the branch are actually hyperlinked.
While this mod controls which information about branches can be seen by different classes of site visitors,
The separate Regroup Person-Hide Branches mod controls which branches are visible to those classes of visitors.
Also, the Show Branch Users mod adds branch-assigned users to the list of branch members in the popup box.
This mod's purpose is to treat the standard biological Parent-Child relationship as an unstated default.
The exact terms to be ignored (such as 'natural', 'birth', or 'biological') must be specified as mod options.
This mod changes the layout of Event dates and places,
combining them into one cell so that the date never wraps.
It also tries to move the event text (not the comment) onto that same line.
It's fairly subtle; see the mod's Wiki article for details.
The native Person Person profile places a plus sign just before children's names
to indicate whether the child has descendants,
and to serve as a hyperlink to a descendant report for that child.
This mod changes that descendant indicator to a down-arrow.
It also adds an up-arrow as an indicator that parents have ancestors.
The ancestor indicator is a hyperlink to a parents' ancestor chart.
The native Person Profile lists the names of all branches that the profiled person is in.
This mod hides branch names from some non-administrative users.
The exact set of branch names that are hidden from which users is determined by a mod option
See the mod options or the Wiki article for specifics.
The Regroup Person-Move Media mod simply moves the Media section of the Person Profile from below to above the Event Map. It has no mod options
The Regroup Person-Sources mod changes the Person Profile to show only the Source title for each Source Citation as the page loads.
It also adds buttons and single-letter hyperlinks that allow you to display the source and/or citation details,
and possibly to display a source image. It has no mod options.
See the Wiki article for details.
This mod suppresses ALL data about a person if that person is living or private,
and if the user does not have permission to see the person.
(The native Person Profile will hide the name or show just the initials, and will display links to living relatives.)
This mod changes the layout of the Person Profile in several ways,
with the intent of making it easier to read. For example,
It moves some the profiled person's events below the person's Parent and Family data,
Adds headings (e.g. Parents, Family or Families, Media, Event Map) above each block of data, and
Moves 'metadata' (e.g. the personID, date of last change, and links to the Group Sheet and Family Chart) into headings.
It makes numerous additional changes, some of which are controlled by mod options.
See the Wiki article for details.
Matthew Arbuckle was a renowned frontiersman in western Virginia (now West Virginia) and the Ohio territory in the 1760, and is considered to be the first European to travel on his own (i.e. not in captivity) across the mountains of Virginia to the Ohio River. He was an officer in the Virginia miltia as early as 1767, and was a "gentleman justice" in Botetourt County Virginia from 1769 to 1773. In 1773 or 4, he was the guide and chief scout for British General Andrew Lewis in his campaign in the upper Ohio River Valley. In October, 1774, he led a Virginia militia company in the Battle of Point Pleasant, which is historically because it was the first battle in which Colonial and British armies were (effectively) on opposite sides. General Lewis was expected to join the Virginia Militia in defense of frontier settlements that were under attack by a Native American force led by the Shawnee Chief Cornstalk. but General signed a peace agreement with a Shawnee conferation. His failure to assist the militia at the time of the Battle of Point Point Pleasant contributed to the miltia's sound defeat.
In 1777, Captain Arbuckle was in command of Fort Randolph at Point Pleasant, when he "detained" Cornstalk while Cornstalk was on a peace mission. When Cornstalk's son Elinipsico visited him at the fort, a Native American who was presumed to be part of Elinipsico's contingent killed a militiaman, whereupon a gang of militiamen raced into the fort and murdered Cornstalk, Elinipsico, and two companions. The murder was widely publicised and roundly crticized, but the militiamen were acquitted at trial because their fellow soldiers refused to testify againt them.
In 1789, Captain Arbuckle participated in Gen. George Rogers Clark's successful military expedition into the Northwest Territories (Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, etc.). Then, in 1790, he was the first settler of the new town of Lewisburg, (now West) Virginia, on the western slopes of the Allegheny Mountains. In 1781, while returning from a trip to the Virginia state capital at Williamsburg, he was killed by a falling tree during a storm.
Capt Arbuckle's son, Gen. Matthew Arbuckle, was instrumental in establishing peaceful relations between American and Native Americans in western Arkanas and eastern Oklahoma. The Arbuble Mountains of Oklahoma are named for Gen. Matthew Arbuckle.

This article appears to give a good, detailed historical view of the death of the Native American chief Cornstalk and related events. However, it falls into the same trap as many stories about Point Pleasant and Fort Randolph, and confuses the Arbuckle brothers, Matthew and William.
At the famous Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774, Matthew was a well-known frontiersman, and a 34-year-old Captain, whereas William was a 22-year-old "volunteer soldier", as he put it in his rejected application for a Revolution War pension. William did not have a military career; Matthew was the commander at Fort Randolph in 1777 when Cornstalk was murdered.
