Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Benedict Arnold was born Abt 1742 (son of William Arnold and Phebe Stafford).

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  William Arnold was born Abt 1710, Warwick, RI (son of Elisha Arnold and Hannah Carpenter); died 7 Sep 1786, Warwick, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 35, West Warwick, RI.

    Notes:

    The RI Cemetery database estimates his birth year as 1708, but his parents weren't married at that time. Perhaps the age on the gravestone is incorrect or was misread.

    William's will mentions his father, Elisha, wife Phebe, and children: Job, William, Thomas, Ann (w/o Capt. John Ladd), Phebe (w/o Samuel Hopkins), & Mercy; also his aunt Catherine Brown. I think she must have been Catherine (Greene) Brown, wife of James and sister of Anne Greene, who was mother of William's wife Phebe.

    William & Phebe are buried in the Arnold Lot, formerly the Old Baptist Church Cemetery, on the south side of Cowesett Rd., directly east of the Elms Apts., about 40 ft. up on the hill.

    Israel's will names his father, Stephen; his wife, Mary; and his children: Israel, William, Elisha, Stephen, James, Joseph (eldest), Josiah, Mary (Low), Sarah (Carpenter), & Barbary (Carpenter). I have estimated the dates of birth for most of them -- needs more research.

    It was either this "Israel Arnold of Pawtuxet" or his son who in 1707 purchased land in Cowesett from the heirs of Robert Potter. This piece of land was originally designated as farm #3, on the northwest corner of the intersection of Routes 2 & 3. Part of this was later sold to the Remingtons.
