Arthur (Black) HAGAN
Birth: 1760/1765 in Ireland
Death: Abt 1828 in Monroe Co, Ky

"The History of Monroe Co: 1820 - 1988" was compiled by Dayton Birdwell. The following excerpt was based on information supplied by Arla Thompson Harlan.

Arthur Hagan was born between 1760 and 1770 in Ireland. He was kidnapped by some sailors and forced to serve on a ship sailing to New York. When they arrived in New York, he managed to escape. Hisparents thought he was dead and later had another son and named him Arthur after their son that was lost. They soon migrated to America, settling in New York. After they had been there for awhile, they found their lost son. The eldest Arthur had black hair and the youngest Arthur had red hair, so, to distinguish their names, they called the eldest "Black Art" and the youngest "Red Art".
Black Art Hagan migrated southward and settled in Washington County, Tenn. He was listed on the 1796 tax list. He migrated to Barren County, Ky. around 1803. That part of Barren County is now a part of Monroe County. He settled on a farm east of Tompkinsville near the present Monroe County Medical Center. He camped and lived in a cave until he could build a house. He married Jane Means, believed to be the daughter of isaac Means Sr.
Arthur and Jane were the parents of several children, among them were Nancy Lumira, married Isaac Jackson; Jane, married William Rush; Mary, married Edward Fraley; Elizabeth, married Robert Leaster; Margaret, born 1803, married Elijah Wright Harlan; Arthur Jr., Hiram and John Hagan. John Hagan married Hannah Harlin, a sister to Elijah Wright Harlan.

Although the story of the two Arthurs might be a little hard to believe, it does have some factual basis. A study of the land tax records of early Monroe(Barren) county shows two Arthur Hagans, one who was often labeled with the word "black" or letter "B" and the other labeled "red" or "R". There are many Hagans in early Monroe Co and little evidence concerning the parents of many. Some earlyHagans have been assigned as children of Black Art in the article quoted above. I am not aware of any documents (but there must be some) that assign children to Red Art.

Based on my study of Monroe Co in general and the Hagan line in particular, I have some fairly strong opinions regarding the parentage of early 19th century Monroe Co Hagans. I have assigned 10 children to Red Art and 8 to Black Art. I don't entirely agree with Arla Harlan's list of Black Art's children in the history book and I have moved two over to Red Art and added one (Thomas) to Black Art.

This is a first effort to sort out the early Hagans relative to the two Arthurs and there will probably be some adjustments made. There is more documentation that will be added later for some of the children.
