bullet? Thomas ARNOLD was born around 1705 in Richmond. Co., Va. (1) He died around 1743 in King George Co., Va.. Thomas was born in Hanover Parish, Richmond Co., Va the first son of Isaac and Margaret (Goff) Arnold. There is no record of his birth which can only be estimated from the first record in which he appears. Shortly after the birth of the first son of Thomas, Humphery, on 30 August 1727, Thomas' father, Isaac, gave a deed of gift of 60 acres of land being a part of a 226 acre grant which Isaac had obtained earlier. This gift specifically refers to his son, Humphery, and was evidently also a gift to the recently married couple-Thomas and Mary, On this account the date of marriage of Thomas and the date of birth of Humphery can be estimated.

On 3 May 1733 having cleared up a question of title to the same property, Isaac again provided a deed of gift for the same 60 acres to Thomas Arnold in which it was again specified that this land should be for "Humphery Arnoldeldest son of Thomas".

No additional records exhist for Thomas Arnold until 1743 when he died intestate at his home in King George Co. His widow, Mary, was named as administratrix 6 May 1743 and the inventory of his estate was recorded 3 June 1743.

There is no further record of this family in King George Co. other than the sale of the 60 acres by Humphery in 1753 (9). It would appear that until the sons were grown and probably as long as the widow, Mary, lived the family remained at the homeplace. It would seem Mary may have died soon after 1749 and by 1753, about the time Humphery married abd soon moved to Prince William Co. Also about the same time, Isaac first sshows up in Orange Co. If there were other children any daughters may have married by that time or sons or daughters may have joined Isaac in Orange Co.

The evidence regarding there being a second son, Isaac, is altogether circumstantial. This Isaac is believed to have been the Arnold whose son Humphery, of Culpeper Co. was later of Garrard Co. Ky. where he died. The name Humphery is a key inference in this presumed relationship.The given name, Isaac, also occurs among the grandchildren of this Isaac in Garrard Co., Ky. Furthermore no other parentage for this Isaac of Orange Co. can be found among all the Arnold families in Virginia at this time. Finally, the deed of gift of 60 acres of land strongly implies that there was at least one younger son. Parents: Isaac ARNOLD and Margaret GOFF.

He was married to Mary around 1726 in King George Co., Va.. Children were: Humphrey ARNOLD, Isaac ARNOLD, Nicholas A. ARNOLD.

Death: (1,3a) 15 Mar 1676/7, New Kent Co., VA. Executed by hanging. (See
below).

(1) There were only 3 Arnolds in 17th century VA addressed by the term Mr.
- Mr. Samuel Arnold, Mr. Anthony Arnold, and Mr. Benjamin Arnold, and
they all lived in New Kent Co.
(1c) Lived in St. Stephen's Parish, but no records for the family are in the
parish records (Church of England). It is suspected that they may have been
Puritan. (3) The place of his residence is not known but it seems that he lived
above the Pamunkey River.
(3) Bought from Col. William TAYLOE land on the north side of the
Mattapony River, Gloucester Co., VA, called "Ricahock," originally a grant of
1,050 acres. (4a) William TAYLOR patented 1,050 acres, 18 Apr 1653, near
St. Stephen's Church, St. Stephen's Parish, King and Queen Co., VA, which
was later owned by Anthony ARNOLD and Benjamin ARNOLD.
(1) Owned more than 3000 acres adjacent to John MADISON, George
MORRIS, John PIGGE, John WEST, Rice HOOES. (See Samuel ARNOLD
for John PIGGE's and John WEST's roll in court appeals on Samuel's estate.)
(1) 1654: Witnessed a deed for Nicholas MERIWETHER, Lancaster Co., VA.
(1) On 28 June 1675, George ARNOLD, Nicholas MERIWETHER and John
FAWCETT witnessed the will of John BRADY in Surry Co., VA. George
ARNOLD was listed in 1674 Surry Co. tithables with 3 males over 16 in his
household. In 1678, George and William ARNOLD were listed. (See notes
below for more connections to William ARNOLD.)

Swamp. During the next few years he was granted land on both Blackcreek
and Whorecock Creek in New Kent Co., VA.
(2) One of the earliest patentees of land along the York and its tributaries.

BROWNE, belonging to Robert VAULX.
(1j) 1665, 3 May: Anthony ARNOLD of New Kent Co. deeded to Thomas
BRERETON of Northumberland Co. 500 acres in Westmoreland Co. soon

the head line of MORLEY and ARNOLL 320 poles, S. 160 poles to land of
Anthony ARNOLL, west by his head line & the head line of MORLEY to the
beginning. The tracts of MORLEY and ARNOLL can be traced in the records
to a 10 Jul 1658 patent of ABRAHALL and PIGG for 1280 acres. It appears
that ABRAHALL and PIGG divided their 1280 acres evenly, and PIGG then
sold a 320 acre tract to Richard MORLEY. The other half of PIGG's 640
acres was apparently sold to Anthony ARNOLD, but no record of a deed or
patent is known to confirm this.
(1l) 1669, 31 Aug: Witnessed, with Timothy DAVIS, a power of attorney by
Arthur HODGES to Edward HUDSON, and a power of attorney by Katherine
HUBBERT to John FORTH to acknowledge her right and title to 375 acres

In 1682, in Surry Co., Thomas ARNOLD appointed his friend B. PERRY,
merchant, his attorney to sue recovery from James BARROTT and Mr. John
NICHOLLS, executors of the will of Ann ARNOLD in regard to the plantation
"that was formerly my brother, Edward ARNOLD's, of Chickahominy in
James City County, Virginia in his will of 14 August 1679, left said plantation

most presumtiously Disobeyed an order of this Court and a Warrant of Coll.
Robt. ABRAHALLS sent to the said ARNOLD by the Governor's order, it is
therefore Ordered that Mr. Anthony ARNOLD be fined two thousand pound
of tobacco and caske with costs sute als ex which sd. tobacco is to be for use
of the fort at York."
(1a) 1674, 1 Oct: The General Court ordered Maj. Wm. WYATT issue an
order against the Sheriff of New Kent Co. for the non-appearance of Mr.
Ambro. CLARE and Mr. Antho. ARNOLD, "for what shall he maek them
appeare Justly Due the next Genll Court, in case he Doe not cause them to
then appeare." (NOTE: The sheriff was apparently on ARNOLD's side, either
because of friendship, or because he felt the charges were unfounded.) (1)
John ARNOLD and Henry DAVIES were tenants on Nicholas HALE's land
on the Corotoman River, Rappahannock Co., VA, in 1666. In 1671, John
ARNOLD witnessed a deed for the above Ambrose CLARE. Robert

(1a) In the suit of William RICHARDSON vs. George LYDALL,
RICHARDSON, deceased, had given LYDALL a list of bills, among which
was a bill for 3000 pounds of tobacco due from Mr. ARNOLD which
belonged to the orphans of William EDWARDS. (1) A William ARNOLD in
Surry Co. in 1671 gave a deposition with William EDWARDS. On 12 Oct
1675, William ARNOLD was wits. to a deed and of an administrator's bond in
1680 of Mary SWANN and William EDWARDS on the estate of MORRIS.

next General Court.
(1a) ARNOLD vs. PICKIS. Anthonly ARNOLD petitioned the Court for an
attachment against Capt. PICKIS' estate for 160 pounds. It was referred to the
2nd day of the next General Court, at which session the case was continued
"by reason there is noe shipps come in."
(1) 1676: Because of heavy taxes, economic harship caused by the Navigation
Acts of 1661, favoritism shown by Gov. BERKELEY and Charles I, and
increased Indian raids on the frontiers against which Gov. BERKELEY was
apparently refusing to act, angry colonists found Nathaniel BACON, Jr., to
lead them in a rebellion. When BACON came to St. Stephen's Parish in New
Kent Co., he recruited Col. Thomas GOODRICH, Thomas HALL, Clerk of
the Court, and Anthony ARNOLD, "associate of Col. BREWERTON." Most
of the colonists from the parish then joined their leaders. After BACON died
of dysentery in Oct., the rebellion fell apart and their forces were eventually
defeated or surrendered.
(1f) 1676/7, 20 Jan: Gov. Thomas NOTLEY of MD wrote that "all the chief
Rebells" had submitted to Sir William BERKELEY, "but three Rebells of note
stand out and they but with four men, but they have been during the Whole
Rebellion, the Bellweathers of unrest, to say, LAWRENCE, DRUMMOND
and ARNOLD."
(1e) 1676/7, 21 Jan: Gov. BERKELEY wrote Maj. Robert BEVERLEY that
he hoped in a few days to take the "chiefe remaining villains," Richard
LAWRENCE, Thomas WHALEY and Anthony ARNOLD.
(1g) 1676/7, 10 Feb: Governor BERKELEY denied pardon to Arnold, even
though on 27 Oct 1676 the King had issued a proclamation which offered
pardon to all rebels, BACON excepted, who would accept it within 20 days.
(1h) 1676/7, 29 Feb: ARNOLD was caught in open rebellion, one of the last
or the last leaders to be taken.
(1a,i) 1676/7, 9 Mar: The "Tryall of Life and Death" of Anthony ARNOLD
was held at Green Spring, the ruined home of Gov. BERKELEY. When
Arnold was brought into court, "he boldly defended the right of the people to
resist oppression." "It is well known that I have no kindess for Kings," he said.
"They have no rights but what they gott by Conquest and by the Sword, and
he that could by force of the Sword deprive them thereof, had as good and
just a title to it as the King himselfe... If the King should deny to do right (I)
would make noe more to sheathe (my) sword in his heart or Bowells than of
(my) own Mortall Enemyes." For these and other treasonable words, this
"horrible resolved Rebell and Traytor" was condemned to be "hanged in
chaines in his own country, to be a more remarkable example than the rest."
The Court was sorry that the country was not capable of executing the
sentence for traitors as in England, which was to hang the victim for several
minutes, cut him down while still alive, rip him open, cut off his head, then
quarter him. (3a) 1676/7, 3 Mar: It is stated that he was convicted for "divers
rebellious treasons and other misdemeanors and was sentenced to be hanged
to death on the 15th instant." (3b) Commissioners Sir John BERRY and Col.
William MORYSON reported to Sir Joseph WILLIAMSON that "they had
advised the hanging in chains in his own country of one ARNOLD, a horrible
resolved rebel and traitor."
(1) 1676/7, 15 Mar: Was led back to New Kent Co., and hung at what is now
the corner of 2nd and Main Sts., West Point, now in King William Co. (2,3b)
There is a legend that he was hanged in chains on a mulberry tree and that
descendants of that tree still survive near 2nd and Main Streets in West Point.
(1) Mrs. Ann Cotton, in a letter giving an account of Bacon's Rebellion to Mr.
C.H. of Northampton, England, states that "Anthony Arnell" was "the same
that did live at your house." She also spoke of Col. Washington "seen at your
howse." (1) The H. in Mr. C.H. may stand for Harrison. A Harrison Arnold is
listed in the 1704 rent rolls of Accomack Co., VA. (2) Mrs. Cotton wrote
"Anthony Arnall the same that did live at your house hanged in chaines at
West Point."
(3) After his hanging, his estate was confiscated by the Governor, but the
properties were inventoried in 1677 in great detail for approval by the King.
(3c) The inventory of his estate shows that he owned a good deal of land: A
plantation of 1,200 acres of "indifferent and good land with ordinary Virginia
houseing upon it with an undershott mill upon the land"; 300 acres of land
lying upon Hoarecock Creek, "poor land with an indifferent good orchard but
very band houseing" purchased by Arnold and Pigg; 600 acres of land lying
upon the north side of the Mattapony River "joining upon Moddies, purchased
of Coll. Clayborne." (1) Owned "1200 acres of indifferent good land with
ordinary Virginia housing upon it," which after his death passed to his son
Benjamin by virtue of a re-grant.
(3b) 1677: The petition of the four distressed orphans of Anthony Arnold was
presented to the Commissioners for Virginia, "for the Restitution of their
Father's small estate, who was executed for being concerned in Bacon's
Rebellion." (1e) His estate fell into the hands of various neighbors. Col.
Claiborne had Arnold's good saddle horse as well as his harness. John Inge had
a good breeding mare and a cart horse. Thomas Miller had his gun and 2 iron
pots. John Claiborne had his feather beds and good worsted rug. His six red
cushion chairs, six gallon iron pot, 40 gallon cistern and his serving maid had
been carried away by someone called Dunbar. His tailor and gold ring (which
he had apparently given to his sister for safe-keeping) were in the hands of
Capt. Jacob Lumpkin. His "four poor distressed orphans" were left "destitute
of Maintenence and Reliefe, but such Charity of some persons moved with the
distressedness of our sad and deplorable conditions hath bestowed upon us."
(1e) His inventory also listed land, a sloop, 40 hogs, 12 cattle, a cart, and
"divers papers, bills, bonds and patents with other writings in the hands of
Jacob Lumpkin." Gov. Berkeley had encouraged colonists to appropriate the
belongings of Bacon's followers.

! Birth: (1) ca. 1660-1662, New Kent Co., VA, s/o Anthony Arnold. Probably
not of age in 1677 when called an orphan, but of age in 1683 when he signed
petition (see below). (2) In all the family histories of the Temple, Arnold and
Gwathmey families, Benjamin Arnold is spoken of as "Ben Arnold, a
German," although there is no authority for the statement. (4) Ben Arnold, a
German. (5a) "Ben Arnold, a German" is a quote from the Gwathmey family
Bible in possession of Joseph H. Gwathmey of "Burlington." (5b) "There is no
ground whatever for this assertion." "According to some authorities on the
history of surnames, the name Arnold is described as being of Low German
origin. However, to others, it is a perfectly good English name, deriving from
the French "Arnaud."" (1) The "a German" may have stemmed from his
sympathies with William of Orange (see below). (6) s/o Anthony Arnold.
Marriage to Anne __: (1) ca. 1689 (by 10 Sep 1690), King and Queen Co.,
VA. (6)
Death: (1) ca. 1723, probably King William Co., VA. His last business

Arnold, deceased. (1b) 704 acres beginning below the Mill Creek as near the
River as could be... in sight of Daniel Coleman's plantation to Pick's Hill, by
William and Thomas Campe; over the Mill Creeke... etc. (1) It is here, on his
father's plantation, that Benjamin Arnold lived in Oct 1690. (6a) Benjamin
Arnold was granted 1,725 acres which had been granted Captain Taylor and
by him sold to Anthony Arnold deceased. (6) This land, located on the
upperside of the Mattapony River, became the home of Benjamin Arnold. It
was at "Rickahock" on the Mattapony River, then in New Kent County, now
in King and Queen County. (6b) The original patent contained 1,050 acres of
land, and a resident of 740 acres was taken up for the transportation of 15
persons. The description of the lands in the patent begins 40 poles below the
mill creek as near the river as could be, and by the plantation of William
Nichols, John Pigg's, Daniel Coleman's, William and Thomas Camp's and
down a small creek to the Mattapony. This invested the whole of Col. William
Taylor (Tayloe)'s patent and added 720 acres more. Benjamin Arnold and his
wife Ann were seated here at "Ricahock."
(1c) 1689: Benjamin Arnold petitioned the Colonial Council to let him swap
lands along the south side of the Mattaponi for land along the north side of that
river, to get away from the Indians. Apparently his petition was granted. (6c)
Sometime before 1704, Benjamin Arnold exchanged his land at "Rickahock"
for lands of the Chickahomonie Indians which they had been allowed to settle
on after Bacon's Rebellion. This land lay along Herring Creek below the
Mattapony River in Pamunkey Neck. It had been assigned the Indians for a
Reservation and the exchange of lands, with Benjamin Arnold, was a simple
trade. This exchange of lands brought the Arnolds into Pamunkey Neck where
they established their home and in time, operated the ferry across the
Mattapony River which bore the name Arnold's Ferry. This plantation lay a
few miles below Aylett's Warehouse and ultimately became the home of the
Temple family. A town site had been platted for at the direction of the Council
by the county surveyor, Mr. Henry Beverley, and that tract or part of it was
the land exchanged with Arnold.
(1d) The Chickahominy Indians requested to remove to Richahoch on the
north side of the Mattaponi River, the land of Benjamin Arnold, which they
had taken in exchange from him for their lands which lay on the south side of
the river, "lands lying in ye front of the English Inhabitants."
(1) 1690, 10 Sep: Benjamin Arnold signed a paper charging Capt. Jacob
Lumpkin with "seditious, unlawful and dangerous words and expressions
against their Majesties." According to the information Benjamin Arnold gave,
he had been entertaining people who lived in his neighborhood on 1 Sep:
Joseph Clarke, Richard and Elizabeth Yarborough, Ann Browne and Ellinor
Thompson, among others. One of the party proposed drinking a toast to the
King and Queen (King William of Orange & Queen Mary), and all did so save
Capt. Lumpkin, who refused to even take off his hat. Then Benjamin Arnold
decided, "according to usuall Custome to trye ye temper of ye said Capt.
Jacob Lumpkin" by drinking to the Royal Governor's (Francis Nicholson)
health. Captain Lumpkin, a Jacobite, ran out the door, mounted his horse and
rode off, swearing that "he was as good a man as ye Governor and swore God
dam him if he (the governor) were there he (Lumpkin) would fight him." It is
thought that Benjamin was trying to prove beyond any doubt that he was loyal
to the King, since he was trying, 13 years after his father's execution as a
traitor, to recoup the family fortunes and obtain the Royal Governor's favor.
He took his charges to Capt. John Lane and Mr. Robert Bird, Justices of New
Kent Co. (6) 1691: Jacob Lumpkin refused to drink a toast to the King and
Queen, William and Mary, at Benjamin Arnold's home, which brought him
into a hearing before the County Court. It is known that Capt. Jacob Lumpkin
lived for many years after this and died a respected man.
(1) 1690, 29 Sep: At a Court held at Mr. Edmond Tunstall's home on the
south side of the Mattaponi, it was ordered that the Sheriff summon Capt.
Lumpkin and all those who had evidence to give to the Court to be held 9 Oct,
and to give "all the northside gentlemen notice hereof for Speedy Tryall of ye
matter." James Taylor, the sub-Sheriff, summoned Capt. Jacob Lumpkin,
Richard Yarborough and his wife Elizabeth, Ann Browne, Ellinor Thomason
and Ann Arnold, Benjamin's wife, to come before Justices Capt. John West,
Maj. Wm. Wyatt, Capt. Roger Mallory, Capt. John Lane, Mr. Thomas Foster,
Mr. Robert Bird and Mr. Joshua Story. The testimony agreed with Benjamin's
version in the charges. It is probably from this incident that Ben Arnold
became known as the "German" since his sympathies lay with William of
Orange, rather than the Stuarts.
(1e) 1691, 27 Apr: The Chickahominy Indians again petitioned the Lt. Gov.
and the Council "that they may continue on the land of Mr. Ben Arnold." The
petition was referred to the House of Burgesses, which referred it to the
Committee on Propositions. (6) The Indians remained but a short time at
"Rickahock," for they were unhappy, and they soon moved over to the
present Mattaponi Indian Town, where the tribe has been on its own
reservation ever since.
(1f) 1692, 12 Nov: Benjamin Arnold conveyed the lands he had traded with
the Indians to John Hurt. Hurt then had sold the lands to Richard Yarbrough
on 12 Feb 1695. At the death of Richard Yarbrough, the land went to his heirs
John and Richard Yarbrough. John Yarbrough conveyed his half on 20 May
1704 to William Aylett, Gentleman. (2a) 20 May 1704, John Yarbrough of the
parish of St. John in King William Co., Planter, sells to Wm. Aylett, Gent., of
the same parish and Co., 200 acres in St. John's Parish, King William Co., on
the bank of Mattapony River, adjacent to Herrin Creek, etc., the land being
part of a greater Quantity of land formerly x x sold x by the Chickahomany
Indians with Arnold for other Lands and by the said Arnold then of King and
Queen Co. in St. Stephens Parish sold and conveyed to John Hurt then of said
parish of St. Stephen and Co. of King and Queen (as by Deed acknowledged
in King and Queen Co. Court 12 Nov 1692 may appear) and by the said Hurt
of said Co. of King and Queen and parish of St. John sold and Conveyed unto
Rich'd Yarbrough (father of the aforesd John Yarbrough as by deed
acknowledged in Court held for the said Co. of King and Queen 12 Feb
1695/6 may appeare) and is now in the Possession of the said John Yarbrough
one halfe by virtue of a deed from his brother Rich'd Yarbrough and the other
halfe as heire to his the said John Yarbroughs dec'd father. Abigail Yarbrough
to relinquish her right of Dower in King William Court.
(1g) 1701: A subscribing witness to a King William Co., VA deed in which
Thomas Henderson sold land patented by James Henderson.
(1e) 1701, 15 Aug: Benjamin Arnold and John Hurt obtained orders from the
commissioners to examine and settle claims to land in Pamunkey Neck and to
survey some disputed lands that lay between Herring Creeks. Edmund
Jennings held patents to 770 acres between the 2 Herring Creeks which was
apparently in dispute, probably arising out of boundaries being set for the new
King William County being created on the south side of the Mattaponi out of
King and Queen Co., and the new St. John's Parish created in Pamunkey
neck.
(1e) 1701, 4 Sep: Patented 2100 acres in King William Co., VA.
(1g) 1702, 21 Sep: Witnessed a deed, with William Davis, of John Pettiver to
Hugh Owen, King William Co., VA.
(1b) 1703, 24 Apr: Received a large tract of land (amount unknown) in King
William Co.. Reference is made to this grant in a number of small grants to
others: 150 acres in King William Co. on Middle Herring Creek to his brother
Anthony; 130 acres to Jacob Wilsey in King Wm. Co. on Lower Herring
Creek; 150 acres in King Wm. Co. on Governor's Swamp.
(1b) 1703, 23 Oct: Ben Arnold was granted 1770 acres in King William Co.
between the Herring Creeks. (6) The Committee on Indian Lands which sat at
King and Queen Courthouse on 21 Jan 1699 (appointed by the House of
Burgesses to adjust claims of patentees to land in Pamunkey Neck) approved
a patent to Benjamin Arnold for 2,000 acres. This patent was not recorded
until 23 Oct 1703, probably due to conflicts when surveys were made of the
land, for the tract was reduced to 1,770 acres lying between Herring Creek
and the Mattapony River lying at the mouth of Herring Creek. This was the
same tract which Benjamin Arnold had received in exchange for his plantation
at Rickahock in King and Queen Co. when he traded land with the
Chickahominie Indians.
(1) His land and plantation house were at Presque Isle on the Mattaponi River
near his brother Anthony. (2) Joseph Temple lived at "Presqu'Isle about 2
miles below Aylett's Warehouse. This tract is formed into an "almost island"
by the Mattapony River and a small stream known by the name of Spirit Run.
After feeding Aylett's mill pond Spirit Run flows into the river just above
Pointer's Landing, thus cutting off a deep bend in the Mattapony and enclosing
one of the most fertile farms on the north side of the county. "Presqu'Isle" was
Arnold property and it is likely that Joseph Temple acquired it by his marriage
with Ann Arnold, daughter of Benjamin Arnold. Here was Arnold's Ferry,
sometimes called Yarborough's Ferry, for many years the only crossing place
in this part of the country over the river to King and Queen. (6) Arnold's Ferry
crossed from Pres Qu'ile to the Chatham Plantation of a later date. Benjamin
Arnold established his home in the bend of the river, where the Mattapony
almost makes an island. In 1748, the Act of the General Assembly which
established ferries called it Temple's Ferry.
(1g) 1703, 20 Nov: Gave bond as newly appointed sub-sheriff of King William
Co.
(1) 1705, 1 Nov: A petition, its contents unknown, was brought by residents of
King William Co. before the Council, which the council found to "contain
matter of a very dangerous consequence." It was sent to the House of
Burgesses, which resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole to consider the
grievance. After reconvening, Mr. Miles Cary reported that the Committe had
resolved to order the Speaker to issue warrants for the arrest of the petitioners:
Col. John West, "he being the alleged That he is the Writer of the said Paper,"
Roger Mallory, Geroge Dabne, Thomas Spencer, John Downer, Jure Barber,
Francis Hill, Benjamin Arnold, Morris Floyd, John Whitehead, John Gree and
Jacob Sellers.
(1) 1705, 9 Nov: When the House of Burgesses met, the petitioners were in
custody and brought before the bar of justice and examined. The House then
ordered the petitioners to withdraw and reconvened itself into a Committee of
the Whole to consider the petition. When it reconvened, Mr. Miles Cary read
several resolutions: "That the Grievance of King William County be publicly
Burnt as a Scandalous and Seditious Paper; that Roger Mallory, George
Dabne, Thomas Spencer, John Downer, Jure Barker, Francis Hill and
Benjamin Arnold be brought to the Barr of the House and make their
acknowledgement for signing the said paper in these words, I ___, of King
William County do with sorrow acknowledge my offense in signing so
scandalous and seditious a paper and do humbly beg pardon for the same;"
that the petitioners acknowledge their wrong doing "before the House this
evening and that they remain in custody till Monday noon and then be
discharged paying fees."
(1) 1705, 13 Nov: Was brought before the House of Burgesses at 12 noon and
told of the resolution and ordered to withdraw. The nature of the petition was
never revealed.
(1f) 1706: Witnessed a deed of Edmond Smith in King William Co., VA.
(1h) 1709, 10 Mar: Filed a suit against Gawin Corbin in Essex Co., VA.
(1i) 1716, 3 Nov: With Christopher Smith, received a grant of 2400 acres of
land in King William Co., the "Board being Satisfyd of their ability to Cultivate
the same according to Law." On the same day, Christopher Smith, Augustine
Moore, James Taylor Jr., Benjamin Arnold and Rowland Thomas petitioned
the Board for a grant of 5000 acres in King William Co. which was granted.
(1i) 1719, 2 May: Benjamin Arnold, James Taylor, Edmond Taylor and
George Woodruff petitioned for 6000 acres in New Kent Co.
(1i) 1724, 11 Jun: Thomas Carr Jr., William Smith, Thomas Dickason,
Ambrose Joshua Smith, William Mackgee, Ann Arnold of King William Co.
and Thomas Martin of Bristol, merchant, petitioned the Board for a proper
assignment of 5000 acres in New Kent and 5000 acres on the Elk Creek, both
of which tracts now lay in Hanover Co., that had been taken up by James
Taylor, Edmund Taylor, Benjamin Arnold, Rowland Thomas and Ambrose
Joshua Smith earlier. James Taylor had made over his part to Thomas
Dickinson. Rowland Thomas had assigned his part to Thomas Martin and
Thomas Carr. Sarah, the widow of Edmund Taylor, had made over her fifth
part to William Smith and William Mackgee. The petitioners prayed that the
Surveyor of Hanover Co. would lay off the land into distinct surveys of 1000
acres each and that separate patents be granted to each of the petitioners.
(NOTE: Since Ann signed the petition, Benjamin must have been deceased.)
(1i) 1727, 14 Dec: George Woodruff petitioned the Council of VA at
Williamsburg in reference to the question of a patent to 380 acres of land in
King William Co. on the East North East River. The petition states that
Benjamin Arnold "did devise the said land to his daughter Rachel, now the
wife of Francis Arnold. But no patent ever sued out for same." The land had
been surveyed for him in 1715.
(1g) In a 1703 deed of Thomas Hancock to Henry Gravett, witnessed by John
Marr, there is reference that Henry Gravett received the land from Elias
Downs. Elias Downs was named in Anthony Arnold's inventory as one from
whom he had bought lands. An Inge is also mentioned in his inventory. Robert
Buttress made an assignment to Vincent Inge, bonded by Arnold Marr of King
and Queen Co., 4 Mar 1697.
