Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Military Officer, Frontiersman
• Probate: 20 Nov 1781, Greenbrier County, West Virginia, USA; "An appraisement of the goods and chattels of Capt. Matthew Arbuckle."

Notes:

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.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Farmer
• Will: 21 Jan 1835, Mason County, West Virginia, USA
• Probate: 5 Sep 1836, Mason County, West Virginia, USA

Notes:

William Arbuckle was the third husband of Catherine Madison, who, when she married William, was 25 years old, twice widowed, and with two children. William and Catherine had 8 children together, and he lived to the age of 84 in Mason County (now in West Virginia), just a few miles from Point Pleasant.
------------------------------------------
William was at Fort Randolph in Point Pleasant for the famous Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774, but he later described himself as a "volunteer soldier". My guess is that he was given an assignment at the fort by his much older brother Capt Matthew Arbuckle. He is somtimes credited Matthew's military accomplishment, but there is no contemporary evidence that he served in the militia. In fact, his application for a Revolutionary War pension was denied for that very reason.


Will:
He left bequests to the four daughters who survived him and to several grandchildren. He left $1 to be shared by the seven or eight sons and daughters of his late daughter Jane McMullin "by way of Remembrance". He similarly left $1 to his daughters Margaret James, Catherine Craig, & Elizabeth Alexander, though he left his blacksmith tools and his shop property to Elizabeth's husband, Samuel. His daughter Mary Nelson and several grandsons received $100 notes that were due to him from Samuel Alexander. He also left a shotgun and a rifle to two grandsons.
His executors were his "friends" (and sons-in-law) John G Nelson and Sam'l Alexander.

Buried:
GRid=34837010; Very old stone; almost disintegrated. A new monument reads "ARTIFICER VA TROOPS REV WAR". An "artificer" is a craftsman who specializes in the construction of artillery or fortification systems.

He built roads and maintained peaceful relationships with local Indians as well as Indian who were relocated there. The Arbuckle Mountains of eastern Oklahoma are named after him.

Died in a Cholera epidemic shortly after being reassigned to his position as commander of Fort Smith after Pres Zachary Taylor, a professional rival, died in office.

Notes:

Buried:
GRid=162791243; Extensive bio. No photos. Says he was buried on his farm, which he called High Tebo, at his request, but the farm was sold before his wife died, so no one else is likely buried there.
