The Arnold Family Association of the South Quarterly is published each Fall
(August 1), Winter (November 1), SprIng (February 1), Summer (May 1) at 2431
Eaton Gate Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48035. All contributions for publica-
tion or comments to the Editor, Mrs. Hazel Arnold MacIvor, should be sent to
the above address.
Purpose: The purpose of the Arnold Family Association off 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 Magazine, Quarterly, 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, preserve, and possibly publish
records as they are received.
Publications: The Arnold Family Association at present publishes only its
Quarterly. Other publications will be announced as they are projected.
Membership: All individuals regardless of surname, libraries or societies may
apply far membership which is on a calendar year basis, August to May (four
quarterlies). Membership dues are $4 annually. Quarterlies, if bought
separately are $2.50 per issue. Aid members, other than Libraries or
Societies, are required to complete applications and fill in pedigree charts
to earliest known ancestor. Bequests should be made to Ann A. Hennings, 6600
Placid Street, Falls Church, Virginia, 22043. Please make cut 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.
Genealogical 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 on 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 Policy: 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.

From the_Editor's Pen: First, I want to thank each and every
one of you who took the time to write ye auld Editor with warm
words of thanks and appreciation for getting ye auld publica-
tion out. I think we should all keep in mind that all the
work that goes into this Quarterly is given freely and with
love. No one gets a red cent! That applies to all of the
contributors as well. Secondly, I want to call your attention
to the new format. It was called to my attention by Marie
Garland of Enid, Oklahoma (who has a marvelous sense of
humour) that she would "have to do a miracle with dough-nuts"
on the margins as they were so narrow. It did not cross my
mind that people would be wanting to bind our magazine in
notebooks. Then came word from the Secretary, Ann Hennings,
to the same effect. Hope this style suits you all better.
Thirdly, our membership is up to 63 members, which at $4.OO
each adds up to $256.00 plus a $6.00 donation by our Pres-
ident, Edwin A. Arnold, gave us a total of $262.OO in our cof-
fers. This amount just barely covers the cost of putting out
our first two issues, so we must push with all of our strength
for new members. Fourthly, I am sure we all feel that our
own pedigrees would advance by leaps and bounds if we could
get our Arnold Quarterly into as many Archives and State Li-
braries as possible. But it cost us .52¢ each just to print
up the first issue, to which we had to add .O5ç for an en-
velope and .l6¢ for postage. Thus the cost of putting an
issue gratis in the hands of the Virginia State Library, for
example, is .73¢. Won't each of you who has a favorite Li-
brary, Genealogical Society or Archives please donate a
year's membership to the repository of your choice? We will
all benefit from your generosity. Just make out your check
to the Arnold Family Association and designate where you Wish
a copy sent. Fifthly, we desperately need records from
Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee.
I have a great deal of Georgia and South Carolina records and
Ann Hennings has a great deal of Virginia records, but if we
are to keep this magazine a well balanced one, we need records
from all over the South, from early periods as well as late.
We especially need Bible records, so blow the dust of GGG
Grandfather's Bible and send us a copy in the next mail. We
Will publish everything as it is received. Lastly, I want
to express my gratitude and thanks to all who have taken the
time to type up or zerox copies of their records and sent
them to me. I will publish them just as soon as I can get
around to it.
Meet Our Members: As I write, two of our members are in
Europe: President Edwin A. Arnold and Ruth Baker Moody. They
both plan to see the Passion Play at Oberammargau. Perhaps
these Arnold "cousins" will run into each other. Donald J.
Arnold received his Ph. D. just after a tornado blew the stage
37
away across which he was to walk to receive his sheepskin.
This "whirlwind event" occurred in Lubbock, Texas. Gertrude
Dean and daughter went on a genealogical vacation this sum-
mer and collected lots of material they have written they
will share when Mrs. Dean’s "Gray Family Bulletin" is put to
bed. Mrs. Hennings has been helping her husband set up a new
office. Mrs. Ona Edwards and Hubby flew to Europe on the
24th of September and will post her Profile and Pedigree to
us on her return. It has been a busy summer season!
Continuing the custom initiated in our first issue of pub-
lishing the profiles and pedigrees of our charter members
(first 100 members) we present to you...Mrs. John Michael Van
Drew who was born Kathy Sarah Arnold in Kewanee, Illinois, on
4 June, 1947. She lived in Buda, Illinois, until her marriage
in Sheffield, Illinois, until just recently. As I write
they are preparing to move to a new home. Mrs. Van Drew was
Chairman of Concord Township, Bureau County, Illinois, for
gathering data for "Big Bureau and Bright Prairies", a book of
county history published in honor of Illinois’ Sesquicenten-
nial in 1968. Her hobbies are antiques, needlework and gene-
alogy. That she is a very fine one indeed is evidenced by
the lengthy pedigree she has assembled.

Lloyd Monroe Raymer one of our most enthusiastic
supporters, was born 15 October, 1943, in Anna, Kentucky, in
rural Warren County. Upon graduation from High School he
went to Western Kentucky University. He is presently engaged
in the raising of livestock and the growing of tobacco. A
very active member of the Mt Pleasant Church of Christ,where
he has been a member for fourteen years, Lloyd takes an
active role. His hobby, besides genealogy, is photography,
which is very useful in genealogical endeavors, too. Mr.
Raymer is the Republican Chairman for his local precinct,and
has served as an election officer. Floyd is a bachelor and
lives one mile from the old Arnold Homestead. His Arnold
ancestors settled there early in the 1800's having come
from Virginia. He and other members of the Arnold families
around here still have some of the relicts and books that
once belonged to the "Old Arnolds". At present, Mr. Raymer
is busy doing research on as many family lines as he has
presently uncovered and in the process is building a fine
genealogical library. He is a member of the Kentucky Hist-
orical Society, and the Bowling Green/Warren County Hist-
orical Society and subscribes to a number of historical
periodicals. He is most enthusiastic about the Arnold Family
Association and is an avid genealogist who is really racing
along in his search for ancestors.

One of the bonuses of doing Arnold research is that keep
finding names of other ancestors. For example, in the
42
"Naturalization of Foreign Protestants, etc" above I found
My Jacob Deem in Cumru Township, Berks Co., Penna, in Apr.,
1762. In the "Original Lists of Emigrants In Bondage, etc."
just above, I found the name of Margaret Lawrence, whom I
believe to be the progenitor of my Lawrence line, in the
same list of passengers as are Henry Mitchell Arnold and
James Arnold aboard the "Patapscoe" on Mar. 17, l730. I sent
to the British Public Record Office for the above reference
T 53/35 p. 174-l75, only to be told by the Deputy Archivist
that both the Roll of Indictments and the Transcript of the
Trial have been lost. He said some published accounts of
these trials exist, "Old Bailey Sessions Papers for the City
of London and the County of Middlesex, Volumes for 1728-1729"
but so far I have been unable to locate them.
"Revolutionary Records":
The material in this issue has been contributed by Ann Arnold
Hennings.
"Supplement to the National Genealogical Quarterly, March,
1943". Index of Revolutionary War Pension Applications and
Bounty Land Records of the Veterans’ Administration Archives
in the National Archives, Washington, D. C.
The original papers in these Revolutionary War Applications
for pension and Bounty Land are in linen-lined envelopes ar-
ranged according to the full name of the Veterans. In addition
to the full name of the veteran, the name of the state from
which the service was rendered is shown, with few exceptions,
and the file number. Continental (Conn.), or other State in
parenthesis, means that the service was in the Continental
line and the veteran was a resident of the state named.
Continental and Connecticut, for instance, with no parentheses,
means that the service was rendered in both the Continental
and the State Regiment and the veteran a resident of Conn.
When the services were rendered in the sea forces the des-
ignations on the envelopes are Navy, State Sea Service,
Privateer Service.
In regard to the file numbers, ie. S, W, and R proceeding
numerals mean, respectively, Survivor, Widow and Rejector
claims. The abbreviated Dis means Disability, for which the
veteran was pensioned. BLWt means Bount Land Warrant. For
instance, BLWt. 145-100 means that 100 acres of bounty land
granted on warrant No. 145 prior to the 3 March, 1855 and
BLWt. 145-160-'55 means that 160 acres of bounty land was
granted on Warrant No. 145 under the Act of Congress approved
3 March, 1855 and BL Reg. '55 means Bounty Land Register and
that the claim for bounty land under said Act was rejected.
When a veteran and his widow both applied for pensions all
papers pertaining to both claims are in the same envelope.
When a veteran's claim was admitted and hid widow’s claim was
rejected an R precedes the file number, her application being
the last adjudicated. When the words, "No Papers" appear on
43
the envelope it means that the application papers were burned
in the years of 1801 or 1814.
The following are only a partial listing of Arnolds given
starting on p. 26 and are those from Pennsylvania South.

(Some names have been missed due to the difficulty of read-
ing the faded writing. The inventory was given here for two
reasons: first, a sample inventory serves social history in
that it gives us a view of how a middle class farmer such as
John Arnold lived in 1824. We who love to hunt down our
elusive ancestors, want to know more than their birth, mar—
riage, and death dates. We also like to know how they lived,
what they valued, who they knew, and what were their hopes.
An inventory throws much light on these things. Secondly,
by listing the slaves some of you who are descendants of this
man, may be able to connect to him by these names, as I
have been able to do in the past.)
* Rowland Hughes was the father of Susannah Hughes who mar-
ried John Arnold. This Rowland must be Rowland, Jr. I have
a letter from Mrs Rebecca Bouldin, who works in the Logan
County Courthouse and who is a researcher and genealogist.
She said John Arnold married Susannah Hughes in Woodford
Co., Ky. They then came on to Logan County about 1807.
Rowland Hughes, Susannah’s father, died there about 1809.
He had earlier been in Orange and Caswell Counties, N. C.
A Deed of Settlement, Deed Book D, P. 267 shows the heirs of
Rowland Hughes signing a partitioning deed. The following
people signed this deed: James Holiman, Polly Holliman, ,
Alphous Wickman, Corby Hughes, Jos. Whitaker, Patsy Whitaker,
Lewis S. Arnold, William H. Arnold, John Arnold, Younger H.
Arnold, Wyatt B. Arnold, E. H. Arnold, Mary S. Arnold, Nancy
Whitaker, Rowland Hughes, Daniel Hughes, Isaac Hughes, Polly
Hughes, Bettsy Hughes, Atatia Hughes, John Hughes. Molly is
called the wife of James Holiman, and Patsy is called the wife
of Joseph Whitaker in the deed. They are all called the
heirs of Rowland Hughes in the deed. Deed dated 15 August,
1827.
** Notice that one of the sons of Francis Arnold was named
Colbert, see P. 44, this issue. This would seen to connect
the Arnolds in Greenville and Spartanburg Counties, S. C.
with this group. I think deeds in Spartanburg as they are
printed will verify this.
Will Book D (1827-1831)
John Arnold, dec’d.
Pp. lO1-140-147-424.
These papers have to do with the division of land and slaves,
among the heirs of John Arnold, dec‘d. At a court held 6th
of September, 1828 a survey of John Arnold’s land showed
that it adjoined Thos. W. Taylor’s land and Hadon Eadson’s
land. There were two tracts of land in question. The first
tract was 346 acres. The second tract was 227 acres.
Wyatt B. Arnold was allotted thirty-five acres.
49
Twenty-three acres was allotted to William H. Arnold. He
was to keep a convenient 100 feet from the east door of the
brick house and to allow Wyatt B. Arnold to use the spring.
Elizabeth H. Arnold was allotted seventy acres.
Lewis S. Arnold was allotted seventy-three acres.
Younger H. Arnold was allotted eighty-five acres.
John J. Arnold was allotted (sixty?) acres.
Polly Ann Arnold was allotted one hundred and ten acres.
James H. Arnold was allotted one hundred and seventeen acres.
Lots No. 7 and 3 were opinioned to be better than the other
lots by the commissioners, and the owners of them had to pay
$25.O0 each to all of the other owners of the lots. Polly
Ann Arnold received Lot No. 7 and James H. Arnold. received
Lot. No. 8. The Commissioners were Samuel Wilson, William
Aingell, and Thomas W. Taylor.
Then came a division of the Negroes and money.
Lewis S. Arnold got Negro woman Ann valued at $325.00 and
$l05.00 in cash making his share, $430.00.
William H. Arnold got a Negro girl named Eliza and a Negro
boy named Joe valued at $430.00 together his fair share.
John J. Arnold got Negroes Charlott valued at $280.00 and
Allan valued at $l30.00 to which was added $20.00 in silver
making his share $43O.00.
Polly Ann Arnold got Negro woman Agness valued at $260.00
and a Negro boy Johnston valued at $75.00 and $95.00 in silver
making her share of $430.00.
James H. Arnold got a Negro woman named Tamer valued at $260
and a negro girl named Milly valued at $l50.00 and $20.00
in cash making his share $430.00.
Elizabeth H. Arnold got a Negro boy named Jesse valued at
$260.00 and Negro boy named Sampson valued at $150.OO and
$20.00 in silver making her share $430.0O.
Younger H. Arnold got a Negro girl named America valued at
$250.0O and a Negro boy named Henry (Hum! This one is not
in the inventory!) valued at $130.00 and $50.00 in silver
making his share $430.00.
Wyatt B. Arnold got a Negro girl named Rachel valued at
$230.00 and a Negro girl named Mary valued at $160.00 and
$40.00 in silver making his share of $430.0O.
The Negroes amounted to $3090.00 and the money to $550.00
the remainder of the money to be equally divided among the
heirs after all debts are paid. Respectfully submitted.

These papers deal with the ongoing expenses of rearing the
minor heirs of John Arnold, to wit: James H. Arnold and
Polly Ann Arnold. There are items for schooling and for
room and board.
Note about the foregoing. Not everything in the papers
has been given here. Furthermore I had to rely on Becky
Bouldin to send me the zerox copies of the pertinent papers.
I cannot guarantee that these are the only papers or that
they all apply to the same estate. But I feel enough has
been given to help anyone researching this particular line
get ideas about where to go from here. Among some papers
sent me by our Secretary, Ann Arnold Hennings, were the
papers of Mrs. O'Neal. In these papers it states that John
Arnold, son of Nicholas Arnold (whose brothers were Lewis
and James)and Margaret -—-—? his wife, came to Kentucky
with the Traveling Church in 1781. This John Arnold was
born l/lO/1734 and he married Elizabeth Hitt who was born
3/12/1751. Elizabeth Hitt was the daughter of Peter and
Sarah Hitt. They were the parents of ten children: Lewis,
Younger, John, Wyeatte, Thomas, Joel, Sarah, Elizabeth,
Mary "Polly", Nancy. This John Arnold died in Woodford
County, Kentucky. His will, dated 23 April, 1818, can be
found in Will Book F, p.41 at the Courthouse of that County.
Can some reader tell us what the connection was between the
John Arnold who died in Logan County, Kentucky and the John
Arnold who died in Woodford Co., Kentucky in that they gave
their families of children almost identical names?

Leonard Andrea’s Notes on Arnolds: (Abstracted by Hazel
Arnold MacIvor)
Leonard Andrea, a most careful and precise genealogist,
had collected before his death two sets of Arno1d Notes,
based on many hours of research. Within the past year this
editor has purchased both sets of notes. In this issue we
give abstracts of the first installment of the set of notes
he prepared for Mrs. Katie Arnold Smith, 2100 Hardy St.,
Hattiesburg, Miss. In a preface to this material, Mr. And-
rea stated that he had not named the sources but would sup-
ply documentation upon Mrs. Smith’s request. He also stated
that all of the data had been compiled from material under
the surname Arnold on file in the South Carolina State Arch-
ives. It should be remembered that this report to Mrs.
Smith was mailed in 1948.

(Editor's Note: I have never tried to contact Mrs. Smith
to inquire if she has done or has had done any further work
on either of her Arnold lines. Perhaps one of our readers
has. If so, please write us your comments.

Abstract of Judge Winn’s Story of Daniel H. Arnold.: (Contri-
buted by Hazel Arnold Mac Ivor).
Judge Richard D. Winn, judge of the Inferior Court, and a
distinguished citizen of Gwinnett Co., Ga. wrote a number of
biographical sketches of about 50 men who had lived in the
County during its early history which were included in His-
tory of Gwinnett Co., Ga. One of those stories was about
Daniel Hopkins Arnold. There are inaccuracies here but it is
given as the Judge wrote it.
Mr. Arnold came to Gwinnett Co., Ga in 1823. He first set-
tled on Redland Creek, later on Pugh’s Creek, where he lived
until he moved to near Foswell, in Cobb Go,, Ga. in 1858.
Mr. Arnold was born 4 Nov., l794 in Providence, R. I. His
ancestry is traced back to the Pilgrims who landed at
Plymouth Rock in 1620. His father was a sea captain who made
a five year around the world voyage. On a second voyage a-
round the world, his vessel was wrecked. All of the crew was
saved except the Captain who lost his life to a shark in his
efforts to regain his ship. His Mother was Deborah Hopkins,
dau. of Stephen Hopkins, signer of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. (Judge Winn then gives a brief description of the
Hopkins family.) Mr. Arnold was reared and educated in Provi—
dence, R. I. After an unhappy love affair, he came South
and settled in Greenville Co., S. C. (no year given) and was
employed setting up a cotton factory for a Mr. Perry, the
first ever built in the state. He was superintendant there
for several years. While thus engaged, he met and married
Mary Dunbar, the dau. of John Dunbar, who moved to Gwinnett
Co., Ga. on Pugh’s Creek. Soon Mr. Arnold followed him,
where for many years he worked, as overseer for Robert Craig’s
plantation. He was a farmer as well as a machinist and mechan-
ic. He also worked as a miller for John Wright on Pugh’s
Creek. Judge Winn relates that a distant relative of Mr.
Arnold’s, Shubel " ?", came and settled in Gwinnett Co.
also. Now Shubel was in the custom of beating his wife.
When Mr. Arnold found this out, he told him, "Shubel, if you
whip your wife while I am here, you will have to whip me too."
Mr. Arnold was forced by Shubel’s actions to keep his word a
few days later. Judge Winn gives several other examples of
Mr. Arnold’s opposition to wife beating, his courage and fort-
itude as well as his love of hard work and opposition to
slavery. Mr. Arnold died 11 May, 1868, near Roswell, Cobb
Co., Ga,
Administration of Edward S. Arnold, Greenville County, South
Carolina ---Apt. #1, File #5, ( contributed by Hazel Arnold
Mac Ivor).
The Administration of Edward S. Arnold consists of four
papers.
66
Paper #1: Sarah P. Arnold applied, to Spartan Goodlett, Ordin-
ary, for Letters of Administration on the Estate of Edward S.
Arnold, deceased. Dated 13 May, 1820.
On the back of this was the certificate of Jonathan Davis and
Sarah P. Arnold’s petition would be cited in public meeting
at the Fork Shoal on 14 May, 1820.
Paper #2: Spartan Goodlett, Ordinary of Greenville District
Court, ordered Thomas Alexander, John Smith, William Arnold
and George Terry, Senior to Inventory and Appraise the estate
of Edward S. Arnold, dec’d. Dated 25 May, 1820. Sarah P.
Arnold is called administratrix of Edward S. Arnold. On 7
June, 1820, three of the appointed four appeared before the
Justice of the Peace, Micajah Berry, and made oath they would
inventory and appraise the said estate before 25 July next.
These were Thomas W. Alexander, John Smith, Senior and George
Terry, Senior.
Paper 3: A true and perfect inventory of all the goods and
chattels made this 7th day of June 1820.

67
Paper #4: Papers relating to the sale: (1) Petition of Sarah
P. Arnold to make sale of the goods and chattels of the Per-
sonal Estate of the deceased. Dated 25 May, 1820. Signed
Sarah P. Arnold. (2) Order for the sale granted by Spartan
Goodlett, 25 May, 1820. (3) The Sale bill: Buyers were
Phillip F. Quinn (sp.?), Sarah P. Arnold, Shubel F. Arnold,
William Arnold, Thomas Alexander, John Terry, George Terry,
John T. Smith, Daniel H. Arnold*, Hudson Berry, Bruce Las-
sem (sp.?), and Allen Hing (sp. ?).
Editor’s Note: The Grantee-Grantor Indices to the Deeds of
Greenville County, S. C. revealed that neither Edward. S.
Arnold, Shubel F. Arnold, nor Daniel H. Arnold ever bought or
sold land in Greenville Co., S. C. This Daniel H. Arnold was
undoubtedly the one that went on to Gwinnett County, Georgia
and Shubel Arnold here is probably the same Shubel that
Daniel scolds for wife-beating. In the "History of Gwinnott
County, Georgia, Vol. I.", there is given a brief history of
the Berry family (pp. 409-4l3). There is also a story of
Solomon Hopkins (pp. 437-439) whose first wife was Elizabeth
Terry. These families lived in Greenville prior to coming to
Gwinnett Co., Ga. and Hopkins served in Thomas W. Alexander's
Cavalry there. I feel there were ties between these families
that could be proved by a careful reading of the documents.
Deeds - Spartanburg Co, S.C.: (contributed by Hazel A.
Mac Ivor).
In our first issue I listed all of the deeds given in the Cross
Index (Indirect Index, in which Arnolds were the buyers). I
am completing these transactions with this issue by listing
all deeds listed in the Cross Index for all other spellings
of the name Arnold that could be found. Next issue I will list
all of the deeds found in the Direct Index in which Arnolds
were the seller. Then in the Spring issue deeds listed in

Arnolds----Franklin (and other counties), Tennessee Miscellane-
ous Records: (contributed by Mrs. L. W. Ledgerwood Jr.).
Nancy Emmaline Arnold(1) was born 14. Sept. 1815 in Tenn.(2) She
died (1) 22 Feb. 1892 in Washington Co., Ark., and is buried in
the McCord Cemetery, near Elkins, in that country. Family
tradition has it that she was a daughter of John "Big Foot"
Arnold, whose feet were so long he had to have shoes specially
made. She is said to have had red hair. According to 1880
census of Washington Co., Ark,, her father was born in Vir-
ginia, her mother born in Georgia. Nancy Arnold was listed in
the Wayne County, Tenn. census of 1850. In her household was
a woman old enough, to be her mother, also also named Nancy, age
70, born North Carolina, and a Joseph Arnold, age 22, born in
Tenn, (probably a younger brother). Also in Wayne County in
1850 were a John Arnold, born in Georgia in 1799, and a Wil-
liam Arnold, born in Georgia in 1798. It is assumed they
were brothers.
Nancy E. Arnold was married(1) 3 July l85l to Dr. George W.
Carter. She was age 36; he was age 51. His wife had died in
Oct. of 1850, and he had several children, some of them grown.
They moved to Washington Co., Ark. where their only son, George
Washington Carter, was born. (This was my grandfather.) His
birthdate was 7 May 1852. After the death of her husband in
1875, Nancy (Arnold) Carter lived with her son, Dr. George W.
Carter (Jr.) until her death in 1892.
In l840 census of Coffee Co., Tenn., there was a Nancy Arnold
with 1 male under 5, 1 female 20-30. This woman was 50-60,
and may have been the Nancy Arnold, shown in 1850 Wayne Co.,
Tenn, in household of Nancy Emmaline Arnold. The female
20-30 could have been Nancy Emmaline, and the young male
(though age is incorrect) may have been Joseph, who was then
about 12.
In 1830-1840), Dr. George W. Carter was living in Franklin Co.,
Tenn., and from what records I have found, it seems he was
living in what is now the eastern part of Moore Co., not far
from Coffee Co. The maiden name of his wife is not known, but
it is thought she may have been a Hasty. In 1840, George W.
Carter served as executor of estate of Benjamin Hasty, dec’d.
A William Arnold was living next to Mary Hasty (the widow of
Benjamin Hasty) in the census of that year. Also, William
Arnold was listed in the administration as holding a note for
$5.37 due Dec. 1840. Others listed with notes were G. W.
Carter, and Benjamin Hasty Jr. and William Hasty. It seems
likely that William Arnold may have married a daughter of
Benjamin and Mary Hasty.
1. Carter family Bibles
2. According to Census.

By 1850, the George W. Carter Family and the William Arnold
Family were living in Wayne Co., Tenn., with Benjamin Hasty
(Jr.?) nearby. There was a John Arnold who had been in Wayne
Co., Tenn. in l840, and was still there in 1850. In 1848,
William Arnold furnished security in a deed of Trust for some
money owed by John Arnold to James Arnett. In 1852, William
Arnold sold a tract of land on Hardin Creek (in Wayne Co.,
Tenn.) which adjoined a tract of land in the name of J. Hasty.
(This was Jourdain Hasty, dec’d. who was in Franklin Co.,
Tenn, 1820, but moved to Wayne Co. He is thought to have been
the brother of Benjamin Hasty. His children were named in
estate settlement, and he apparently did not have daughters
who married either William Arnold or George W. Carter--but
both these men named sons Jourdain, the Carter son being
Jourdain Hasty Carter.) Since John Arnold and William Arnold
were near the same age, both born in Georgia, it is assumed
they were brothers.
In 1860, John Arnold was still in Wayne Co., as was Joseph
Arnold who had married and had 3 children. William Arnold
seems to be gone. George W. and Nancy (Arnold) Carter had,
of course, moved to Arkansas. There was a Nancy Arnold
living in the "Poor House"--listed as age 98, born Va., a
Pauper. It is hard to believe she was the Nancy Arnold who
in 1850 was age 70, b. N. C., living with Nancy Emmaline
Arnold. With two married sons living in the county, it
doesn’t seem right that she would be a pauper in the poor
house, if she was the same. If she was not, then I don’t
know who she was:
