Biography* Arthur Whitehead was probably born in England about 1625, and came to Virginia sometime before 1643. He died about 1655, presumably in Isle of Wight County. His place of birth in England is not known at this time.
On 22 March 1643, he was listed as one of the Head Rights of Obedience Robins, who on that day received a patent for 450 acres in Northampton County, Virginia, bounded by a former devisement of the said Robins for the transportation of nine persons: John Coleman, Henry Edwards, Arthur Whitehead, Nicholas Every, John Ells, Henry Baston, Stephen Horse (probably Horsefield), Thomas Chapman, and John Carter. Of these it is interesting to note that all but two of the family names are subsequently found in the records of Isle of Wight County, which supports the conclusion that Arthur Whitehead, settled there. (C. P. 225)
Arthur died about 1655.2
