Our Records show that Thomas Barnabas Arthur, Sr did not immigrate. Immigration was by four of his sons, John, James, Thomas Barnabas, and William. One of the ways this migration was accomplished was by use of the Headlight plan of Virginia Colony and this is how the young brothers gained so much Virginia Colony lands so early. Thomas Barnabus Sr. lived and died in Culleybackey as did his wife, Anne Addams Arthur nee Moore. Virginia stayed in Culleybackey and lived with her parents caring for them as they grew older. Upon their death she also migrated to Virginia and died in Goose Creek in 1820.
