The second son of Thompson Arterberry and Elizabeth Johns Arterberry, Benjamen Franklin and his wife, Nancy Williams Andrews were the first of the Arterberry children to move from home. They traveled to Grayson County, Texas buying land there before 1859 in time for Benjamen Franklin to fight in the Civil War there. Benjamin Franklin Arterberry was a Private in the 1st Texas Batallion, Fort Hudson, Louisiana and also at Jackson, Mississippi.

Genealogy of the Andrews-Maxey and Related Families of Henrico Co. in Colonial Virginia gives Benjamin Franklin Arterberry's birth date as 11 Dec 1833 in Jackson County, Tennessee.

The Andrews-Maxey book gives this account:
Benjamin Franklin Arterberry performed valiant service in the War between the States. He was Sergeant of Company "D", First Battalion, Texas Sharp Shooters, CSA, commanded by Major James Burnet, in the overall command of Major General Samuel Bell Maxey. Numerous letters written throughout the years 1863-64-65, by his wife Nancy Andrews Arterberry to Sergeant Arterberry, and many of his letters to her during that tragic period, vividly depict the loneliness, the heartaches, and the unhappiness of this young couple brought upon them by events beyond their control.
