Ahhh, the Chester A Arthur lie rears it's ugly head yet again.

Chester Alan Arthur was born October 5, 1829, in Fairfield, Vermont.[a][7] Arthur's mother, Malvina Stone, was born in Vermont, the daughter of George Washington Stone and Judith Stevens. Malvina's family was primarily of English descent, and her grandfather, Uriah Stone, fought in the Continental Army during the American Revolution.[7] His father, William Arthur, was born in Dreen, Cullybackey, County Antrim, in what is now Northern Ireland; he graduated from college in Belfast and emigrated to Canada in 1819 or 1820. Arthur's mother met his father while William Arthur was teaching at a school in Dunham, Quebec, just over the border from her native Vermont. The two married in Dunham on April 12, 1821, soon after meeting.[7] After their first child, Regina, was born, the Arthurs moved to Vermont.

Lie? How so? As you yourself posted...

Chester A. Arthur didn't meet the birther NBC standard of two American-born parents.
