All contributions for publication or comments to the Editor, Mrs. Hazel Arnold MacIvor, should be sent to the above address. PURPOSES: The purpose of the Arnold Family Association of the South is to bring into contact with one another all those who are researching Arnold and allied families, who either originated in the South, or came through it and stayed long enough to leave records. We hope to do this by publishing an Arnold Family Annual Newsletter which will contain records of a private and public nature on the local, state, and national level. Our ultimate purpose is to publish an Arnold Family History containing as many branches of the Arnold Family as can be documented. To this purpose, the Arnold Family Historian-Genealogist will accept, evaluate, file and preserve records as they are received until such documents are published. PUBLICATIONS: The Arnold Family Association of the South has published a Quarterly since its inception in 1970 through 1975, and an Annual from 1976 to the present. The Association has also published Hazel Arnold MacIvor’s Some Ancestors and Descendants of Benjamin Arnold of King William County, Virginia and Greenville County, South Carolina. Copies of all of the above, each with index, are still avai1able and can be purchased from the Corresponding Secretary. See elsewhere in this issue for copies still available and price list. MEMBERSHIP: All individuals regardless of surname, libraries or societies may apply for membership, which is on a yearly basis, beginning on 1 August of one year to 31 July of the next year. Membership dues are $10.00 annually. Membership entitles one to receive the Association's Annual Newsletter free of charge. All members, other than libraries or societies, are required to complete applications and fill in pedigree charts to earliest-known ancestor. Requests should be made to Marian Carter Ledgerwood, 1655 Imperial Crown, Houston, Texas 7704). Please make check or money order to Arnold Family Association of the South. No cash, please. HOLDINGS: The Arnold Family Association will place all of its records, publications, books, etc. in the hands of its Historian-Genealogist. In the event of his/her death, the surviving officers will decide the place of repository. GENEALOGY INQUIRIES: The Arnold Family Association keeps a record of all members' surnames in its files. Members will be furnished upon request, if accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope, the names and addresses of others working in similar families. It will also furnish lists of genealogists (in most cases supplied by Archives in Southern States), but it cannot assume responsibility for, nor guarantee the nature and accuracy of work done by any such genealogist. EDITORIAL POLICIES: Neither the Editor, or the Arnold Family Association of the South and/or the members of the Editorial Staff, assume any responsibility for error of fact, or opinion, expressed by contributors. It is our earnest desire to publish only reliable source material of a genealogical nature. Materials for publication are welcome and should be sent to the Editor. Please type such materials or send Xerox copies of original records. 1 ARNOLD FAMILY ASSOCIATION OF THE SOUTH President: Treasurer: Newman Arnold Hall Ted O. Brooke Town Hill Road 79 Wagonwheel Court, N.E. New Hartford, Connecticut 06057 Marietta, Georgia 30060 Editor, Genealogist-Historian: Corresponding Secretary: Hazel Arnold MacIvor Marian Carter Ledgerwood 2481 Eaton Gate Road 1655 Imperial Crown Lake Orion, Michigan 48035 Houston, Texas 77043 From the Editor's Pen: Another year opens for our AFAS, the eighth of our existence. Thanks to our hard-working, dedicated membership, this year promises to be the best we have ever had. The process of reorganization, about which we told you in the mid- year Newsletter, is now complete, and it augurs new and exciting possibilities for our organization. Several things, which had formerly been merely wishful thinking have now been realized. Our President, Mr. Newman Arnold Hall, structured a constitution for our association and submitted it to the officers for ideas and suggestions, then reworked it in the form you will see elsewhere in this issue. A constitution was necessary for several reasons: it would provide a framework of reference within which we could function more efficiently; it serves as a clear statement of policy to members and non-members alike; it is a necessary part of our application to the Internal Revenue Service for tax-free status. The advantages of being a tax-free organization are readily discernible. We will be issued a tax-free number and supplies, printing and incidentals can be purchased without tariffs; members' bequests, donations and gifts will be tax- deductible; if our membership (active) goes over 200, we will have an advantage in use of bulk rate mailing. The constitution is presented to the full membership this issue for your perusal and ideas and suggestions. Please study it carefully, then write our President, Newman Arnold Hall, telling him of any suggestions or ideas which you think would make it clearer, more concise and at the same time keep it flexible enough so that we can grow within its framework. He will then incorporate your ideas and draw up a constitution in final form and present it to the membership for ratification in the mid-year Newsletter of June 1978. A simple majority vote will establish it as our official constitution. Our Treasurer, Mr. Ted O. Brooke, became an official member of our staff in May 1977. Ted has been, through the years, one of our greatest contributors, not only in the quantity of work he has shared with us, but more importantly, in the quality of his research as well. His meticulous attention to detail, his insistence on documentation for everything he produces and the prodigious amount of work he has done for us, makes us all very 2 appreciative of his contributions. His experience as Executive Director of the Upshaw Family Association and Editor of its Quarterly, as well as his authorship of Georgia Wills: 1733-1860 has fitted him admirably for office in a genealogical effort such as ours. Mrs. Marian Carter Ledgerwood has volunteered to fill the vacancy in the office of Corresponding Secretary and assumed her official duties on 1 January 1978. What praise could possibly suffice to express how much her membership has meant to this association. Quietly and unobtrusively she has undertaken a large variety of work and services for all of us in the past. She has typed so many of our publications that we have seldom had to pay anyone for that purpose. She has indexed every issue since 1970 save one. As Associate Editor, she often did more work than the Editor. She has spent many, many hours abstracting and analyzing genealogical records which she has shared with us. Serving in an unofficial capacity during the process of reorganization, she did a magnificent job of getting all members registered, answered all inquiries promptly and efficiently and has set up a card file index of all members, number one to present , with name, last- known address and earliest Arnold ancestor, which she furnished to our Association Genealogist. We will now be able to furnish members with lists of persons working on their lines, upon receipt of a request for this service accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope. In May 1977, our long-time member, Mrs. Ann Arnold Hennings resigned as Corresponding Secretary. When your Editor ran an ad in the Genealogical Helper in 1970, stating her intention of organizing an Arnold Family Association, Mrs. Hennings was the first to answer the call. Over the years she has served in several capacities: as Corresponding Secretary for seven years, as Treasurer for five years, as Editor for the year 1975. In addition she has shared with our membership a large number of records from her personal files. These titles cannot possibly convey the dozens of tasks she has performed for all of us, tasks she enjoyed and has done so well. Her seven long years of devotion to and hard work for this Association is much appreciated by all the membership. It was mentioned in the Mid-Year Newsletter that Mrs. Dorothy Coslet had generously donated the money several years back to enable the Association to purchase Arnold Archives Records from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. But we had no member in Salt Lake City who would or could look these up in the Genealogical Society, photocopy the hundreds of pages involved and send them to the Association. In 1977, our devoted member, Mrs. Elsie Updegrove, a resident of Salt Lake City, performed this arduous task for us. She had every Arnold Archive Record pulled and photocopied for us. These were carried by the Editor in June of 1977, to Ted O. Brooke in Atlanta. He has trimmed the Temple data from them and has bound them in several large volumes. For those of you who do not know what an Archives Record is, a simple 3 explanation may be in order. Members of the Church submit family group records sheets on their lines for Temple ordinances. It was felt that there might be information on these Archives Records that members did not have, and that this information could amplify our knowledge of the various Arnold families. It has been mentioned many times that our Family Group Sheet Program Which includes a pedigree chart showing all ancestral lines and family group sheets of every Arnold ancestor for each member, will be presented to the Virginia State Archives. The Editor had discussed with the officers having Xerox copies made of these volumes for the Genealogist-Historian, and others who had expended a lot of time and effort on the Program. Upon reflection, the Editor feels that these records belong to all of us. Therefore, beginning with the January 1979 issue, we will begin running a number of these sheets in the AFAS Annual every year. We will run these alphabetically and will add data gleaned from Temple Archives Records which will be indicated by an asterisk. In this way, each and every member will have a complete record of the work done on every other member's lines. It is very important, therefore, for each member to update his pedigree chart and family group sheets in order to make them as complete as possible before publication. I would like to draw your attention to our new column, "Family Trails." This is a very valuable addition to our publication in that members, using the documents and records published in our Quarterlies and Annuals and other sources, who have located and identified their Arnold families as they migrated from east to west, will be enabled to share these findings with the membership. Hopefully, those who are still floundering will be enabled to tie into these published lines and thus bring closer the day when we can delineate the several Arnold lines in the South and publish our comprehensive Arnold Family History. Our new Treasurer, Ted O. Brooke, has asked your Editor to draw to the membership’s attention our need to expand. He wants each and everyone of us to try to get five to ten new members by next year. Draw on your Arnold kinfolk, talk up the AFAS wherever you go--to your genealogical meetings, to your patriotic societies, to the library where you do your research. Word-of-Mouth advertising is the best advertising after all. Let us try to get between four to five hundred new members by next year. Your Editor's attendance at family reunions (Arnold of Gwinnett County, Georgia, and others) has inspired her to propose that the AFAS have an Arnold Family Reunion in June 1980, our Tenth Anniversary in Williamsburg, Virginia. The advantages of having a reunion in Williamsburg are obvious: We could enjoy the opportunity to visit Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, Busch Gardens and the James River Mansions as well as the sites connected to two ancestors whose descendants provide the bulk of our membership-- the Anthony Arnold home place on the Mattapony and West Point where he was hanged, and the Thomas and Grace Arnold home place in King George County. Both are geographically situated in such a way that members could visit and return to Williamsburg in one day. 4 A tentative schedule is as follows: Wednesday: (date in June to be decided), Check in at motel and register in the lobby. Fellowship with other members, or visit Colonial Williamsburg all day Wednesday. Thursday: Separate trips to King George (Thomas Arnold descendants) and to New Kent County (Anthony Arnold descendants). For those not wishing to go to either place, there are the James River Mansions, Busch Gardens and Swem Library that can be visited. Friday: Trip to Yorktown in the morning; trip to Jamestown after lunch. Friday evening: Visit to room in motel reserved as a Genealogical Workshop- room, where members can exchange data, show other members their family histories, purchase back issues of our publications, etc. Saturday: Fellowship breakfast together at our motel. Members free to pursue their own interests for rest of day. Saturday evening: Arnold Family Banquet attended by all members. A well-known Virginia genealogist speaking on research in Virginia. Sunday morning: Fellowship breakfast together at our motel. Prayers and then depart for home. Your Editor has included at the bottom of your renewal slip, a box for you to check if you are interested in attending such a reunion as is outlined above. It should be noted that members would be encouraged to bring their families and guests. Let's all get behind the Membership Drive and the Arnold Family Reunion and make it five hundred members, families and guests at the Reunion in 1980. Many genealogical and family societies benefit from bequests left to them by members upon their decease. We ask you, if you have enjoyed your membership in our Association, won't you please remember AFAS in your will as a token of your gratitude. The membership will be so appreciative of you and it will help our important work to go forward. Your Editor has been doing genealogy since 4 April 1968, when she attended a DAR Genealogy Workshop at 4 Ridge Road, Pleasant Ridge, Michigan. She applied for certification to the National Board for certification in the Winter of 1969-1970. This Board sets the standard for genealogical research in the United States and confers three types of classifications upon those who can pass its tests: Certified Genealogist (the highest); Certified American Lineage Specialist, and Certified Record Searcher. In June of 1971, your Editor became a Certified Genealogist and is at present one of the only two such persons in the state of Michigan. In the nine years since your Editor began family research, she has always been impressed with the type of person interested in this field of discipline. They were patient, courteous, willing to exchange data and of a very genteel nature. Then came Roots: A. R. (after Roots) a new breed of searcher has invaded the field. This new type wants 5 his family history instantly, as if it were a TV dinner, and wants it as cheaply as possible, usually free. He writes letters, with no self-addressed, stamped envelope enclosed, demanding you send him "everything you have" on his line, in the most aggressive, sometimes even vulgar, language. Several such letters have come to the AFAS, and we have attempted to explain courteously our policy (which is set forth on the policy page on the inside cover of every Annual). Here is what we offer members of the AFAS: 1. Each member will receive any and all current publications of this Association during his membership. 2. A member, upon request accompanied by a stamped envelope, will be furnished with the names of other members working on his lines. 3. A member can list a seventy word query in our publication each year. 4. A member will be furnished, upon request accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope, a list of genealogists specializing in southern research which are registered with the National Board for Certification. The AFAS, its officers or members, does not assume any responsibility for any arrangements made by the member and the searcher, in respect to fees or quality and quantity of work. All AFAS officers serve on a volunteer basis. They do not receive any compensation in any form for all the work they do for the membership. They enjoy their work and the results are sufficient reward. However, it should be pointed out that no member, officer or otherwise, owes anything to non-members other than what they wish to give of their own accord, other than an invitation to join our AFAS. We, as officers, by the very nature of our office, cannot carry on lengthy correspondence with non-members, do their genealogy or perform secretarial services for them. We have families, jobs, homes, church, social and community obligations just as everyone else. Let us hope these unreasonable demands, made recently by non-members, will cease. This letter from Ted O. Brooke: "It is my pleasure this year, as in the past, to contribute a comprehensive file of Arnold genealogical research material to the AFAS. I sincerely hope everyone with Arnold ancestry is helped by it". “I believe God gives each person a special talent or ability which we should use to help others. As a Christian, I apply all areas of my life, including my genealogical ability, to the commandments and teachings of Christ which include, in St. Luke 6:38: ‘Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again’.” 6 "I can testify that while I have given much to this organization in time, effort, and expense, it has been returned to me many times over and I thank Him for it. This Christian principle of giving and receiving, of sowing and reaping, is true and will work in our lives. Try it - it works!" Unfortunately, we could only print a small portion of Ted's record (see scattered). But, in the January 1979 issue we will present the balance of his records in full. And now, your Editor hopes you will enjoy this fine issue which has a variety of records. You will be hearing from us in June. Have a Happy 1978: God bless and keep you all.

Henry Barber (Elliott Stock, London. 1903) p. 84 Arnold: a locative name Nottinghamshire, Wiltshire, and York D. B. Ernehale Norman Arnholdr (eagle holder) Anglo-Saxon Earnweald Personal Name: A Protestant refugee of London, 1618 2. English Surname, Their Sources Significations Charles Wareing Bardsley (Charles E. Tuttle Co.. Rutland. Vermont, 1968) Arnold, as a baptismal name is now almost unknown in England, made a deep impression on our nomenclature, as it did in that of Central Europe. "Earn" (for the eagle) is a word not yet obsolete in the North of England, and this reminds us of the origin of the name. The kinship is more easily traced in our registries where the usual forms are "Earnaldus Carnifix" or Peter Arnold. Besides Arnold and the diminutive Arnott or Arnett still live among us. 3. Prentiss Hubbard and Allied Families Arnold, as a surname, with its variants Arnoll, Arnott, Arnot, and Arnould, is of baptismal origin, meaning “the son of Arnold. II It was derived from the French Arnoud.” This was a very popular personal name in its day, and was in great favor just when fontal names were becoming surnames. The earliest record of this name is in 1273, when it appears on the Hundred Rolls of County Essex as Arnald or Arnard Attebroke. In the same year Walter fil. Amald appears on the Hundred Rolls of County Lincoln, Stephen Arnold on those of County Kent, John fil. Arnoldi for County Cambridge, and . Ayelina relicta Arnold for county Huntingdon.

Hammers) After several years of researching this family, here are the results or the findings of their descendants. John and Grace Arendell married while in North Carolina as one of the oldest sons, Bennett (our ancestor) was born in this state. He went to Spartanburg, South Carolina with his parents, Rebecca and Benjamin Arendell as he was the administrator of his father's estate there in 1784. Grace and John Arendel1 had sixteen children, fifteen sons and one daughter. This reference is taken from "Kentucky, A History of the State" by Battle, Perrin and Kniffin, published in 1884. There is a biographical section in this book, and one of the counties who is represented is Butler Co., Ky. One biography is of Reddick Arendell, who it states "is the grandson of John Arendell who had fifteen sons and one daughter". This researcher has found only twelve of the above numbered children and believes the other four must have died young, or lived to be 16 adults and were unmarried at time of death. Or else they would have been named as some of the heirs of John and Grace Arendell in Butler County. Kentucky. Grace and John Arendell came to Logan County. Kentucky about 1805 for they are found for the first time in the tax lists of this county in this year. With them in the tax lists at varying times are their sons, David, Samuel, Cader, Lott and Bennett Arendell. When Butler County was formed in 1809 they were then in this county, having broken off from Logan County, in it's formation. Butler County, Kentucky Circuit Court file number 1017 gives heirs of Grace and John Arendell who will follow in the next paragraphs. This record states that Grace died on August 16, 1830 and John died July 29, 1830, about one month apart. The order of appearance of their children isn't necessarily the order of their birth for all birth dates aren't known. 1. BENNETT ARENDELL born December 22. 1777 in possibly Granville County, North Carolina (or may have been Warren or Franklin Counties as these two counties were already formed at this time from Granville County). He married Carey Cooper 1800 - 1805. This marriage hasn't been found and is only family tradition that Carey's last name was Cooper. Carey was also born in North Carolina. Their children: 1.

Could he be one of the unknown Sons of Grace and John Arendell ???? If so, then he wasn't mentioned in the Circuit Court file of Butler County on estate papers. 21 BRIDGES ARENDELL appeared only one year in Butler County tax lists, in 1812, and this was the same year he entered the War of 1812 from Logan County. Kentucky. From the National Archives in Washington. D. C. on his bounty-land grants (two of them). he was shown living in Franklin County, Alabama in 1859 and was age 79. He also could be a son of Grace and John., but again, if so, then he wasn't mentioned in the estate papers. This is perhaps the same Bridges who appears in Spartanburg County, South Carolina deeds. NATHAN ARENDELL, born ca. 1808 married Polly Ann McLaughin in Butler County on December 10.1826, died in Muhlenberg County in 1846. His administrator was Reubin Arendell. This man and his descendants are being researched by several at this time. all trying to prove if Grace and John were his parents. I do not think they were Nathan's parents since their first children were born in the 1770's. An 1808 birth date would make Grace seemingly past her child-bearing days. The only other possible parents would be Cader and his first wife. Nathan wasn't mentioned in the estate suit of his parents as an heir is another reason I don't believe John was his father. Polly and Nathan's children were. 1. Edy, b. 1826/30, m. March 9. 1852 Muhlenberg County to Allen Hill. Issue: Nathaniel, James L., John E., Sheby, Sarah F., Samuel A., Rose A.. and Phristie. 2.

The front of this book has the meaning of the abbreviations, but darned if I could tell heads or tails as to what CPR meant. If Lott was father and giving his consent, then the Logan Co. Scott Arnold marriage I thought was for Lott, isn't his, or else, a second marriage. - Patsy Arndell to Simon M. Whitney - June 21, 1825 by B. Reynolds, the father, Reuben Arndell, gives consent - page 18. - Nathan Arndell to Polly Ann McLaughlin - December 10,1826 by Benj.

The father, Bennett Arndell, gives consent. - Cader Arendell to Elizabeth Fleener - August 7, 1810. Lott Arendell is surety, or bondsman. The Marriage Bonds are still in Butler County (I don't mean marriage register books, but the loose bonds with parents' or guardian permits.). No doubt the missing 59 marriages could be filled in from these bonds. About two years ago I was in Butler and a researcher was going through these and so I also looked and came up with one missing marriage record - that of Cader Arendell. Kentucky kept Vital Statistics during the years 1852 to 1862, also in 1894 and 1904. The records vary for all counties, some skipping some years, for marriages, births and deaths. Usually these marriage records offer more in data than those registered in a courthouse. BUTLER COUNTY KENTUCKY BIRTH RECORDS FOR ARRENDELL/ARNOLD - Franklin P.

McNamara from "A Memorial and Biographical History of Johnson and Hill Counties, Texas (Contributed by Jeanette Osteen) Oliver P. Arnold, was born in Spartanburg, S. C. in 1826. His father, William B. Arnold was born in that state in 1803. He moved to Tenn. then to Mo. and from there in 1847 to Texas. Arriving in this state he first located in Titus Co.; in 1859 settled near Cleburne till a few years prior to his death, when he moved to the city of Cleburne. He died at the latter place in 1873. Mr. Arnold's mother's maiden name was Mary Fryer, her native place Spartanburg, S.C., and the date of her birth, 1803. Her parents were married in 1831 and to them were born seven children, viz. Amanda M., a widow of M. B. Kouns, is a resident of C1eburne; Oliver P., Cynthia J., widow of Levi Lewis, a resident of Weatherford; Marion, who was killed at the age of 20; Absalom M. a farmer of Johnson Co. the sixth born died in infancy, and the youngest, . Puss, died when 2 years old. Mr. Arnold's paternal grandfather, James Arnold was a native of Virginia; served in the War of 1812; died in South Carolina. His grandmother Arnold was before marriage a Miss Blundell. Oliver P. Arnold came to Texas with his parents in 1847. In 1853 he went to California, remained on the Pacific Coast until 1859 and then returned to Johnson Co. Texas. He enlisted in 1861 but being in poor health at the time he enlisted, was discharged after a year's service and returned to his ranch in Johnson Co. He was elected sheriff of Johnson Co. just after the war and served till 1876. In 1861, Mr. Arnold married Miss Abigail Winchester a daughter of Isaac and Mary Winchester and a native of Mo. Her death occurred in 1884. To Mr. and Mrs. Arnold, 12 children were born, namely: 89 Harrison Arnold, a farmer of Johnson Co. Texas; Olie I. Arnold, of Johnson Co.; John A. Arnold; Mary E. Arnold, wife of John A. Barkley of Arizona; Lee Arnold; Alberta Arnold; Fannie Arnold; Nannie Arnold; and George, Hood, Byrd, and Oatis who died when young. FROM CHRONICLES OF SMIGH COUNTY, TEXAS Contributed by Gertrude Crook Dean George ARNOLD House (Omen) Early in the year of 1851, the Arnold Family left their homes in Henderson County, Tennessee to go to Texas. Included in the party were George Mitchum Arnold and his wife, Susan Douglas Arnold, and their baby girl Elizabeth (Betty) Arnold; also George's brother, Henry Meredith Arnold, and his wife, Becky Rhodes Arnold, with twin baby girls, Sarah and Nancy. Taking a river boat on the Mississippi River at Memphis, Tennessee, they came down river to the mouth of the Red River, thence up the Red River to Shreveport. From there they traveled by wagon to Rusk County, stopping at the settlement known as "Old Belleview". In the summer after they arrived in Texas, the two Arnold brothers bought land in Smith County two miles north of Omen, then known as Canton, and built their houses on adjoining farms, each on the west side of the Omen-Starrville Road. Meredith Arnold's house was of logs and was torn down only a few years ago. The George Arnold house is a two-story frame with lean-to or shed room across the back of the main house. Two rooms with a porch between comprise the lower floor, with fireplaces in both large downstairs rooms and a stairway in the north room. The kitchen (no longer standing) was a log room, quite a distance from the main house. It had a large chimney and fireplace for cooking. George Arnold was a farmer owning two slaves. He had eight children by his first wife, Susan Douglas Arnold; one child by his second wife, Jane Alexander Arnold; and five children by his third wife, Maggie Canterberry Arnold. Mitchum Arnold and his sister, Sally Arnold, children of George Arnold, lived in the house until they died. A grandson, Paul Horton, now lives in the home (1967). (This information was provided by Rella Williams, grand-daughter of Meredith Arnold, and daughter of Nancy Arnold Williams. She lives in Arp and is the last of her immediate family.)

BAPTIST: Missionary Baptist 1. BAPTIST CHURCH (FIRST): In the latter part of the year 1850, at a meeting of the Mission Board of the old State Convention with the church at Huntsville, Texas, an application was made for a small appropriation ($75.00 per annum) to sustain a missionary for a part of his time at Waco, then a frontier village. Rev. Noah T. Byars, a pioneer Texas Missionary (b. 1808 in S.C.; d. 1888 in Brownwood, Texas) gave notice on the following May 31,1851 calling the Baptists together. They met in a board shanty or hut at the corner of Jackson & Second Streets, loaned to them by the Methodists. Charter members were James C. Johnson, George T. Holman, Noah Woods, and Sister Matilda Johnson. Rev. Byars served the church for the rest of the year. (The story that the Texas Declaration of Independence was written at his home prior to the Texas Revolution was recently disproved.) Rev. Byars Soon became President of a Baptist Classical School, the predecessor of Baylor University. Other early members by 1854 were {in order of membership) Rebecca Edwards, Mary Ann Holman (consort of G.T.), Mrs. Mary Barron, P.P. Bloodworth, Emiley J. Bloodworth, E. H.

Page 91 Church burned February 1877. Page 220 A very out-standing layman united with the Church by letter February 7,1852 in the person of B. D. Arnold-- who was made the second deacon of the little congregation--when the need for another man in that office was felt. Mr. Arnold served the Church in many essential capacities, such as member of the first building committee in 1854. Manufacturer of the brick for the first house of worship the Church ever owned, as delegate to the 92 district Ass'n. and state convention and member of many important committees. Mr. Arnold lived in E. Waco, where he owned a large farm in addition to his brick plant, and he opened his home to the preaching of the gospel in that section, a factor that helped pave the way for Turner St. Church. But today Mr. Arnold is best remembered by reason of the outstanding children whom he and his good wife gave to the world. Mrs. Arnold died in 1855, three years after having united with this Church. Their oldest daughter--Summer united with Church by letter with her parents--and in her adult life as Mrs. Summer Oakes became very prominent in Waco. She lived to be 93. The other daughter Samantha (Mantie) united with Church on profession of faith at 8 years, and later as Mrs. S. C. Hooks was long an active member Mrs. Hooks' daughter Mrs. E. J. Webb of Downsville was also a life long member. Her daughter-in-law and her son Kenneth M. Webb now in armed services of his country. He is a great-great grandson of B. D.

This line of research is pertinent to the research of a number of our members: Mrs. Elsie Updegrove, Mrs. Dorothy Coslet, Mrs. Eugenia Snow, among others, and may be the answer to problems of our President, Newman Arnold Hall, Col. Lloyd Raymer, Mrs. Sue Alexander, et al, in locating and identifying their Arnold ancestors. As Thomas Arnold was not my ancestor, I was not particularly, interested in him until I was commissioned by Mrs. Mertie Arnold Harris to research her Arnold line. Mrs. Ann Arnold Hennings had pioneered in this field, by researching pertinent data, on Thomas and Grace Arnold 1 of King George and had identified three of their issue. Her work was published in Quarterly, Vol. IV, numbers 3 and 4, pp. 107-111. In this article, Mrs. Hennings carries her line down through Thomas' and Grace's son, Isaac, Sr. 2, through his daughter, Jemima, who married William Arnold (parents unknown) and their son, Lt. John Arnold. Mr. John Wright Boyd, in his definitive work, Family History, Lt. Thomas Fortson (1742-1824) Descendants, pp. 334-336, traces his ancestry back to William Arnold, (son of Isaac Arnold, Sen'r.2) and his wife, Lydia Bell. Mrs. Harris supplied me with the name of her ancestor, Reuben Arnold, of Arkansas, whom she stated was said to have come from Tennessee and whose census records showed he was born someplace in Georgia. Intensive work at the Tennessee State Archives, at the Library in Nashville, at the Georgia Department of Archives and History and in Wilkes and Elbert Counties Records, revealed that Reubin's 6 father was James Arnold5 and was brother to William Arnold, Jr.5 who married Susanna Tait/Tate 4. Their parents were William Arnold, Sr. and Lydia Be11 3. As stated above, Mr. Boyd had proved William Arnold, Sr. as a son of Isaac Arnold, Sr.2, who was the son of Thomas Arnold and wife, Grace ? l In . carrying this line back from Arkansas, through Tennessee and Georgia, into Virginia, I was aided by Mrs. Marian Carter Ledgerwood. Mrs. Ledgerwood knew her ancestor Dr. George W. Carter had married Nancy Emmeline Arnold in Wayne County, Tennessee and had discovered two men whom she felt to be Nancy's brothers, were born in Georgia. A careful study of her line revealed a connection between her line and the line I was researching. I enlisted her aid in reading census records but more importantly in analyzing and assessing the data I was accumulating. This is an area where Mrs. Ledgerwood really shines and she was a great deal of help. Mrs. Ledgerwood published both her own and Mrs. Harris' line in AFAS Newsletter, Vol. VII, pp. 149-157. It was while researching Mrs. Harris' line in Virginia that I discovered Crozier, in his Spotsylvania County Records had omitted the name of one of the sons of William Arnold, Sr., that of Isaac. 94 This important discovery was made when I purchased the original will, along with some deeds, from the Clerk of the Court in Spotsylvania County. This shows the importance of working with the original documents when researching a line, and never accepting a printed source. The next time I became involved with the Thomas Arnold line was when I was engaged by the Lindsey Family Association to search for the parents of their Isaac Arnold of South Carolina. After a false start, in which I had identified Isaac's father, John Arnold. as the son of William Arnold and Lydia Bell. I made the correct location and identification of his parents. John Arnold of Newberry County, South Carolina was none other than the son of John Arnold of Prince William County, Virginia, who died in Fauquier County. The documents below amply prove this identification. Will of John Arnold Newberry County, South Carolina Probate Offices Apartment #1, Package #2.

Mrs. Lieutiche Arnold must have died shortly before the 1st of May 1815 for her part of John Arnold's estate had to be disposed of at that time. Her small estate. referred to in the records as the John Arnold estate (since a wife could own no property in her own right at that time in South Carolina). was ordered appraised. by Judge Samuel Lindsey of the Court of the Ordinary, on or before the first Monday in June 1815. An appraisal was made 4 May 1815 and was recorded 16 April 1817. A sale of Mrs. Arnold's worldly goods was held at the home of Margaret Dunkin 20 May 1815, which netted $91.89. At the same time old Mrs. Arnold died, a kinsman of John Arnold's died also. Mark Arnold. He left no will and since no widow applied 95 for Letters of Administration, we must conclude Mark was either a young, unmarried man or a widower. Mrs. Eugenia Snow of Lafayette, Georgia has thought this Mark was the father of John Arnold (who was the father of her ancestor, Jacob). I have thoroughly searched the records of the Probate Court and the Deed Office of Newberry County, South Carolina, and cannot find a shred of evidence to support this theory. Daniel Arnold was Mark's Administrator, granted Letters on the 1 August 1815. His inventory was taken 4 May 1815 (the same day as old Mrs. Arnold's, see above) by the same means John Edmundson, John Gregg and Isaac Kirk. His estate was small and consisted only of his wearing apparel, two small books, a saddle and blacksmith tools. I feel he was probably a grandson of Mrs. John (Lieutiche) Arnold's and lived with her. Probably the same sickness that carried her off, was responsible for his death as well. At any rate, the sale of his small property occurred on the same day and place as Mrs. Arnold's, 20 May 1815.

James Scott, Sr., Augustin Jennings, Sr., William Pinkard. Inst. 25 Nov. 1771 There is some evidence that John Arnold and wife. Letitia, also went to Frederick County, Virginia. It is said that his son, George. married Rachael Jay in that county (some AFAS member sent proof of this but it has since disappeared). Perhaps Moses and John Arnold (wife, Letitia) were brothers. This seems reasonable in that John named one of his sons, Moses. Also one of the witnesses to old John Arnold's will in Fauquier County, Virginia, 1771, was William Settle and Moses' land was stated to be adjoining Willaim Settle’s and John Arnold (with wife, Letitia) sold out to William Settle. See deeds and wills above. It appears from the records then that John Arnold who died in Fauquier, 1780, definitely had issue: 1) John Arnold, married Letitia---?; 2) Benjamin Arnold, married Elizabeth; 3) Margaret Arnold; 4) Verlinda Arnold; 5) and perhaps, Moses Arnold, married Sarah ? How many other children John Arnold, died 1780. Fauquier County. Virginia. had is not known. Further Fauquier-Prince William Counties records need to be purchased and examined carefully. 97 Who was the father of John Arnold, died 1780 Fauquier? It appears his father was also John Arnold, who died in 1768 in King George County, Virginia. See, John Arnold of King George County, Virginia, Administration, 6 October 1768. All that remains of this estate is the Administrator's bond which was secured on the oaths of Benjamin Johnson, George Johnson and William Boon. Original in files of AFAS. No book number sent by Virginia State Library, but record is on pp. 74-75. This John seems also to have had wife, Margaret ---?. Note several instruments for him recorded in King George County, stating he is of Prince William County (Quarterly, Vol. II, No.1, pp. 29-34). This John first appears in the records of King George County (according to Mrs. Hennings' abstracts) on the 2 November 1731. Isaac Arnold had appeared as early as 6 November 1724. If these records reflect their legal ages, then Isaac was the first born son of Thomas and Grace Arnold and John was likely their second born son. (AFAS Quarterly, Vol. II, No.1, p. 29) Mrs. Hennings' abstracts show Grace Arnold as being deceased before the 2nd March 1732 when Isaac Arnold gives bond for the Administration of his mother's estate (Quarterly, Vol. II, No.1, p. 32). AFAS now has in its files, Grace Arnold's inventory, taken 6 April 1733, by Wm. Harrison, Frans. Woffendall and Rankins. Grace's son, John Arnold, apparently lived on the Home Place of his father, Thomas Arnold (See Quarterly, Vol. II, No.1, p. 29) after his father's death, for on the 2 November 1731, he leased this place to Isaac Johnson. In the body of the deed of lease it was stated this was the "home place of his father, Thomas Arnold." This lease might have occurred shortly after his mother, Grace's death. His father, Thomas Arnold, and mother, " lived in Hanover Parish, King George County on the road to Strothers Church (AFAS Quarterly, Vol. II, No.1, p. 33) and Bishop Meade stated in “Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia”, Vol. II, p. 184, that Strothers Church lay "between Port Conway and Oakenbrough." In 1731, Prince William was cut out of the northernmost part of King George and shortly thereafter that John Arnold and wife, Margaret, became residents of that county. (“How Justice Grew: Virginia Counties, An Abstract of Their Formation”, p. 21) see deed below. John Arnold, and Margaret, his wife, of Prince William County, Virginia to William Duff Hanover Parish, King George County, King George Deed Book lA, pp. 222-224 (Original in AFAS files) Deed of Lease (5 shills.) and Release (pds 50.0.0) for plantation and house whereon Isaac Johnson now lives together also with 50 acres of land given by Thomas Arnold in his last will and testament "father to the said John Arnold” to grantor (John Arnold).

Margeret (X) Arnold released her dower rights. 11 April 1732. Some confusion has arisen over the death date of the above John Arnold due to statement in Mrs. Hennings Papers (AFAS Quarterly. Vol. IV. Nos. 3-4. p. 107). that John Arnold died before 1 Sept. 1732. She cites Deed Book I-A. p. 222. I have this deed before me as I write (the same one as abstracted above) and it reads: "Land was given by Thomas Arnold father to the said John Arnold Late of King George County Dec'd as in and by the said Thomas Arnolds Last Will and Testament In writing will appear." There are no commas in this sentence and no apostrophe to show possession in Thomas Arnold's name--a notorious fault of the county clerks of that time. But if we punctuate the sentence properly, "Land was given by Thomas Arnold, father to the said John Arnold, Late of King George County, Dec'd." then we see that the deed is reciting how the Grantor, John Arnold, came by the land he is selling to William Duff, the Grantee. Besides, it seems very unlikely a dead man would be making a deed. Furthermore. John Arnold and wife, Margaret, are making deeds in 1744 (1 October) and in 1745 (1 August) where Duff has deeded the land back to John and he and Margaret again sell it in August 1745. (See AFAS Quarterly Vol. 2. No.1. p. 30.) It appears from the record then that this Thomas Arnold of King George County had son, John Arnold of King George County, who married Margaret---? and went to Prince William County. We have no will connecting the John Arnold who died in Fauquier County, 1780, to the John Arnold who died in King George in 1768, but we do have the third John Arnold's deed which states that the deed by which he got the land from his father, John Arnold, was earlier recorded in Prince William County. On the best evidence . we have we see the line as follows: I. Thomas Arnold and wife, Grace, had son. John Arnold. who married a Margaret (maiden name unknown), died1768, King George County, Virginia. II. John Arnold and wife, Margaret, had son. John Arnold, who married Margaret (maiden name unknown), died 1780, Fauquier County, Virginia. III. John Arnold and wife, Margaret had son, John Arnold, who married Letitia (maiden name unknown). They died in Newberry County. South Carolina; he in 1798, she probably in 1815. This line of research establishes that John Arnold of Newberry County, South Carolina was descended from Thomas Arnold and wife, Grace. Likewise, it proves the father of Col. Raymer's ancestor, 99 Benjamin Arnold. He is John Arnold, died 1780, Fauquier County. It also opens up a number of possibilities for Sue Alexander, President Newman A. Hall and others. Nothing is known of the children of the first John Arnold (son of Thomas Arnold) other than that he probably had son, John. Mrs. Alexander is descended from the Settles, Morgans and Strothers who lived first in King George, later in Prince William. It seems very likely that her Stephen Arnold might have been a son of this early John Arnold. Much research needs to be done in King George, Prince William and Fauquier Counties. We will present further findings in future issues as money and time allow. See Settle notes below, from “Settle-Suttle Family”, William Emmett Reece.

Brown, Jr., 165 acres of land on the east side of Chiquateague Stamp in St. Mary's Parish, Richmond (now King George). Page 29 The deed was witnessed by James Taylor and Woffendalle The Taylors and Browns were related to the Settles in Barwick-in-Elmet, Yorkshire, England.

Settle, born 1710 in King George County, son of Francis Settle (son of Francis Settle, son of John and Mary Strother Settle) died in Hamilton Parish, Fauquier County, Virginia on 30 July 1742 he received grant to 507 acres in Prince William County. This land was on No. side Rappa. River on water of Hedgoman's River. On the south his land was bound by that of the Chas Morgans, Sen'r. and Jr. and Thos. Aires. See page 59 above where his Uncle Isaac Settle received land the very next day. Page 78 Another neighbor was John Edwards. Nine years before Capt. Wm. Settle died the Hedgeman River Baptist Society was organized. It later became (1773) the Hedgeman River Baptist Church. Today it is known as the Jeffersonton Baptist Church. Originally located on the edge of Fauquier Co., it served residents in both Fauquier and Culpeper Counties. Today it is in Culpeper in Jeffersonton, on the old stage coach route from Washington to Georgia. Page 79 Wm. Settle's will - dated 25 February 1782. Names land adj. "Arnold Mill".

Wit. John Waight, Hugh X Pa1lmer. 28 Aug., 1673; 30 June, 1677. Editor's Comment: John B. Boddie, Historical Southern Families, Vol. II, page 111, states, "William Goffe was the immigrant - ancestor of this family, patented 1000 acres in Kent County (italics mine) on 7 Oct. 1658. This land was on N.E. side of Mattapony River (italics mine). This land was later assigned to John Madison (a neighbor of Anthony Arnold's) who assigned it to Martha Goffe (wife of William Goffe). After the death of William Goffe, his widow married John Prosser, immigrant ancestor of this family. Thus, we have two-new ancestors, on the line of Isaac Arnold, Sr.'s wife, Margaret Goffe: her father, Thomas Goffe was the son of William Goffe, the immigrant and his wife, Martha. The designation "son-in-law" meant in colonial times, stepsons. Mrs. Margaret Prosser later married Simon Miller. See his will below. All of the above leads the Editor to ponder, "What was the relation between Anthony Arnold, these Goffe and Prosser families (note that John Prosser names sons, Anthony and Samuel) and Thomas Arnold?"

Page 125, From Mrs. Marion Carter Ledgerwood comes this information: Mr. J. C. Harris, 247 Cypress Mill Road, Florence, Ala. 3563O writes: "The father of Edmund Harris, who married Rhoda Arnold, was Giles Harris who had died in 1775 when Edmund was only five years of age. Giles Harris was a brother to Lewis Harris, the father of Patience Harris and the two Harris brothers lived on adjoining farms in Prince Edward County. Claiborne Harris was a brother of Edmund Harris and I wonder if he may not have been a cosigner on the marriage bond with Edmund Harris. Claiborne was not Edmund's father." Memo from mcl: 12 August 1977 Re: The father of Edmund Harris: Some time ago, I sent a correction to Vol. VII page 125 re the father of Edmund Harris. The Prince Edward Co. Marriage Index (females) has a note by Edmund Harris' name (in same handwriting as the rest of the index) stating that Claiborn Harris was father of Edmund, and we printed that statement. 105 Mr. Joe C. Harris of 247 Cypress Mill Road, Florence, Ala. 34630 (not a member of AFAS) has studied the Harris Family and compiled a book, Captain Thomas Harris Manuscript. He wrote saying, "The father of Edmund Harris, who married Rhoda Arnold, was Giles Harris who had died in 1775 when Edmund was only five years of age …Claiborne Harris was a brother of Edmund Harris." Mr. Harris wondered if Claiborne Harris was a cosigner on the marriage bond with Edmund Harris. I wrote for a copy of that marriage bond. The main part is dark and difficult to read (in some places impossible, because of having been torn). A note with the bond is misleading. Apparently it was written by Ann Harris, mother of Edmond, and witnessed by Claybourn Harris and Terry Arnold. See below: Marriage Bond of Rhoda Arnold and Edmond Harris Prince Edward Co., Va.

"This chart was copied from a 20" x 24" "Family Record" chart which I bought at an antique auction in Adairsville, Ga. You will note that it was printed in Chicago, Ill., in (circa) 1860s, but there is no clue on the information given on it where this Arnold family lived. It was mixed in with a great many other miscellaneous papers - a diploma from Pittsburg, some 1900s newspapers from New York and Baltimore, photo albums (old) from Atlanta and Augusta., which I couldn't get, and etc., so I really don't have any good idea of where it originated. None of the other papers related to any Arnolds or any of the families given on the chart - I went through them all. I will deliver the chart, which is very ornate, Victorian style and attract1ve, and would be a fami1y heirloom to be framed and on the family-room wall of some descendant, to the person who offers the largest donation to the AFAS." From Ted O. Brooke. Family Record of William Arnold and Melissa B. Nichols ( Engraved Family Record Obtained by Ted O. Brooke at Antique Auction in Adairsville, Ga., 3 September 1977.) Engraved page, 20" x 24", titled at bottom: "Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1866 by Rollin H. Trumbull in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Ill.8" This is a very ornate engraving, including angels, cherubs, wreaths, scrollwork and spaces available for filling in names and dates of family members; engraved in lower right- 107 hand corner: "Designed and wholly executed with a pen by R. H. Trumbull." Notes by tob: The information on this chart has very obviously been entered on three occasions by three different series of handwritings as follows: The oldest dates from 1821-1863; the second dates from 1878-1928; the third dates from 1930- 1938. When purchased, there was an old scrap of paper attached at bottom of chart with masking tape, entitled "Arnold and Miller Family Record", "Family Record - Birth and Marriage of Parents" William Arnold born April 14,1821 Melissa B.
