an Indian Reservation in Oklahoma in 1901 with the Indian migration from Hancock County. She returned after a short while there.
The 1880 Hancock County census lists four children in the home of John “Jack” McArthur and Milly. They are: Nancy age 15, John age 12, Bilbo age 6, and Jim age 4.
If the last two are children of John and Milly, they apparently never lived to maturity.
John and Nancy are the only two children that the family remembers. Neither have we found any record of a Bilbo or a Jim McArthur bom around that time. The children of John “Jack” McArthur and Milly to reach maturity are:
A.	Nancy McArthur - bom in 1865 according to the 1880 Hancock census. She died on September 3, 1929 according to her headstone in Cedar Rest Cemetery in B. S. L. that has fallen down and is in bad condition. It says she is the wife of “G. Favre.” Her death is recorded at O. L.G. Church as “Nancy Favre” who died at age 69 (1860) on September 3, 1929. Nancy lived for a while with Valery Bourgeois, Sr. and on
May 27, 1884, had Paul “Arthur” Bourgeois, an illegitimate son by him (see Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church record of his baptism). In 1885, Valery Bourgeois won legal custody of the child (see Metal Boxes #M-6 Hancock Court House). This child was raised by Valery Bourgeois and went by the name of “Arthur Bourgeois”
(see our Bernard Bourgeois History for more on him). Arthur Bourgeois first married Julia Favre in 1906 in Hancock County, and second to Alert “Gertie” or “Mattie” Servat and moved to Monroe, LA where he had a family and died there on January 1, 1948. Nancy was first married to Henry Egloff on August 17, 1886 as found in the Hancock County marriage records. Next Nancy married Charles Anatol “Galoute” Favre in 1905 in Bay St. Louis. She had no children. Then in the 1920 census of Hancock County, she is living with Joseph Monroe as a “lodger.” She is listed as “Nancy McArthur, age 54 (1866), and a widow.”
B.	Joseph John “Johnny” McArthur - bom in 1869 according to his baptism record in
0.	L. G. Catholic Church. He was baptized on September 17, 1889. He appears in the 1880 Hancock County census with his parents. He is also found in the 1900 census of
B.	S. L., as bom in November 1870, widowed, and Indian. He lists three daughters: Lily bom 1891, Mary bom in 1892, and Nola bom in 1893. According to his marriage record at same church, he married Clarisse (Corinne on other records) Yarby, on September 19,
1889. She was listed as the daughter of Ellis Yarby and Margaret Taylor and that the newlyweds were 3rd degree cousins. The following information regarding Johnny McArthur was told to us by Johnny “Galoute” Favre of B. S. L. and Mrs. Joseph (Alice Lindsley) French of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. By Johnny’s first wife, he had three girls:
1.	Lillian “Lilly” McArthur - bom in 1891 as found in the 1900 B. S. L. census.
2.	Mary McArthur - bom on May 8, 1893 as “Marie Louise Martha McArthy” as found on her baptism record at Annunciation Church in Kiln, MS. Parents listed were “John McArthy and Clarine Yarbrough.”
