McArthur Family Papers, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine.
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
The collection centers on two generations of the McArthur family of Limington, Maine. Arthur McArthur, Sr., was born January 14, 1790, the ninth of eleven children of John McArthur (1745-1816), a native of Perth, Scotland, and the third settler of the town of Limington, and Mary Miller McArthur (1753-1835). McArthur, Sr., was graduated from Bowdoin College in 1810 after prepatory study at Fryeburg Academy. He completed his legal studies with Cyrus King, half-brother of the first governor of Maine, at Saco in 1815. McArthur, Sr., was a farmer in Limington (1817-1874) and U.S. pension agent for the State of Maine. In 1829, he married Sarah Prince Miltimore (1805-1881), daughter of the Rev. William Miltimore of Falmouth, Maine. They had six children: Arthur, Jr., (1830-1862), William (1832-1917), Catharine (1834-1864), Duncan (1837-1854), Charles (1839-1894), and Malcolm (1841-1886). McArthur, Sr., died on November 29, 1874. The collection centers on two generations of the McArthur family of Limington, Maine.

McArthur, Sr., died on November 29, 1874.
Arthur, Jr., (Bowdoin 1850) taught school and travelled in the South and Midwest before settling in Sabine Parish, Louisiana, as a teacher and lawyer in 1859. He enlisted in the Confederate Army, served as a major in the 6th Louisiana, and was killed in battle at Winchester, Virginia, on May 25, 1862.
William(Bowdoin 1853) served with the 8th Maine and rose to the rank of Brevet Brigadier General. Although he was a lawyer like his father, he never actively practiced law. William succeeded his father as pension agent, served as a member of the Maine House (1867) and Senate (1869), was postmaster of Limington (1866-1907), and ran the family farm until his death in 1917.
Catharine, the only daughter, was graduated from Mount Holyoke Seminary in 1853 and taught school in Maine and Flint, Michigan (1860-1863). She died in 1864 soon after taking a position at Gorham Academy.
Duncan went to sea at 15 on board the ship "A.B. Thompson" and drowned after falling overboard during a violent storm on the return voyage from Havre, France, on March 1, 1854.
Charles, a Bowdoin non-graduate (Class of 1863) travelled to California as a young man. He later married and practiced law in Kansas and Missouri.
Malcolm, the youngest, graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1865, was captain of the 17th Infantry, United States Army, and spent his career as a frontier officer in the Dakota and Montana territories. His troops, under the command of Major Reno, were among the first on the scene of the Battle of Little Big Horn.
