  • Duncan McArthur was a Federalist and National Republican politician from Ohio. He served as the 11th Governor of Ohio. Born to Scottish immigrants in Dutchess County, New York, McArthur grew up in western Pennsylvania and later moved to Kentucky, where he was employed as an Indian ranger. McArthur moved across the Ohio River in 1797 to the new town of Chillicothe, Ohio, which was to become the state capital in 1803. McArthur grew wealthy investing in land in the surrounding area. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives from Ohio's 3rd congressional district while serving in the militia during the War of 1812, but never qualified for office, preferring to continue serving in the military. He was appointed colonel of Ohio volunteers and was second-in-command to General William Hull at Fort Detroit. He and Colonel Lewis Cass were not present at Detroit when Hull surrendered and were greatly angered to hear that Hull had included both of them in the capitulation. When a British officer notified him of the surrender, McArthur is said to have torn off his epalettes and broke his sword in a fit of rage, although historians note similar stories were told about other officers as well. He was paroled and returned to Ohio. He was appointed a Brigadier General in the U.S. Army and commanded a brigade under William H. Harrison during the battle of the Thames. Shortly thereafter he was placed in charge of the Army of the Northwest following Harrison's resignation. He did not face much action but was instead engaged in negotiating treaties with the Indians. In 1817, he was one of two commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Fort Meigs, which was signed September 29 of that year with several Native American tribes. McArthur served intermittently thereafter in the Ohio House of Representatives and Ohio State Senate, as well as a single term from 1823-1825 in the United States House of Representatives before winning election to the governorship in 1830. McArthur served a single term and did not seek re-election. McArthur is buried in Grandview Cemetery, Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio, USA.

  • ダンカン・マッカーサー（Duncan McArthur、1772年1月14日 - 1839年4月29日）はアメリカ合衆国オハイオ州の連邦党、国民共和党の政治家である。 第11代オハイオ州知事。 ニューヨーク州ダッチェス郡のスコットランド系移民の家に生まれ、ペンシルベニア州西部、のちにケンタッキー州に移り原住民の保護官として雇用された。 1797年、マッカーサーはオハイオ川を渡って、1803年に州都となるオハイオ州チリコシに移った。 マッカーサーは周囲の土地に投資する事で豊かになった。 米英戦争中、民兵を務めていた間に彼はオハイオ州の第3選挙区から連邦下院議員に選出されたものの、民兵を務め続けることを好み職に適格ではなかった。 彼はオハイオ州義勇軍の大佐に任命され、デトロイトのウィリアム・ハル将軍の副司令官となった。 ハルが降伏した時、マッカーサーとルイス・カス大佐はデトロイトにおらず、そしてハルが降伏に両者も含めたことを聞き大いに怒ったとされる。 英国の軍人が降伏を知らせた時、怒りのあまり彼は肩章を毟り剣を壊したという。 それからマッカーサーは仮釈放されてオハイオ州に帰った。 彼はアメリカ陸軍准将に任ぜられ、テムズの戦いの間、ウィリアム・ハリソンの下で旅団を指揮した。 その後まもなく、ハリソン辞任後に北西部の軍の責任者になった。 マッカーサーはその後、オハイオ州下院議員と州上院議員、1823年から1825年までは連邦下院議員を1期務め、1830年には州知事選挙に当選、知事を1期務め再選は狙わなかった。
