Thomas Arthur was an American planter, businessman, military officer and politician in Virginia and Kentucky, who helped establish Franklin County, Virginia, which he represented in the Virginia House of Delegates in 1787 and the Virginia Ratifying Convention the following year. Implicated in several scandals, Arthur moved to Kentucky by 1800, where he died three decades later, after founding a Baptist church and manumitting named slaves in his will.
