Arthur Boke, Jr. was the first African-American resident of Franklinton, Ohio. In 1803, Sarah Sullivant (wife of Franklinton founder Lucas Sullivant) had just given birth to a son, when several days later she found at her doorstep an abandoned baby of a slave. Named Arthur Boke, Jr. by the Sullivants, the baby was adopted by the family and lived as a son and brother until his passing in 1841.
