 Jim, I checked my Indiana County references and could not find
any mention of Arthur NUGENT -- in fact there was very little
mention of any NUGENTs.  Just a mention of this name being a
early settler associated with the lumber industry, and several
NUGENTS mentioned in connection with Civil War units.  No wills.
I checked the two Pennsylvania census references I have to see if
this would give any leads.  Here is what I found.

 As you can see, it looks like three in the 1800 census can be
identified in the 1790 census (and I've indicated them).
 ..........................
 Indiana County was formed in 1803, from Westmoreland and Lycoming
Counties.  Westmoreland was formed in 1773 and Lycoming was formed
in 1795 from Northumberland.  Northumberland was formed in 1772.  So,
none of the names above are associated with the area that became
Indiana County in 1803.  All I can suggest at this time is that you
check the 1810 and 1820 census records for Indiana County to see if
your Arthur NUGENT was in fact there.  If so, note where he lived and
then check land records and tax records for that township to see
what addtional info you can pick up.  Hopefully, you'll be able to
tie into one of the NUGENTs identified above.
