  1. 1.  William Arnold was born 24 Jun 1587, Ilchester, Somerset, England; died 1675, Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI.

    Notes:

    "On June 24, 1635, there arrived in Massachusetts Bay a group of neighbors, nearly all related either by blood or marriage. They had sailed from Dartmouth in Devonshire May 1 of the same year, all but one of the party, William Carpenter, coming from Ilchester, in southern Somersetshire or within about five miles of that place. The leader of the party was William Arnold whose 48th birthday was the day of their arrival. His oldest son Benedict, one of the party, a lad 19 years of age at that time, has given us the only account that we have of their embarkation, in his own family record, written probably soon after his removal to Newport in 1651. They joined with Roger Williams in the settling of Providence, RI. In 1638 William moved about five miles south of Providence to the Pawtuxet River where he, with his two sons, his son-in-law, and his nephew, and others bought huge tracts of land from the Indians. With his sons Benedict and Stephen he owned nearly ten thousand acres of land and paid the highest tax in the colony. William Arnold's farm included a section of the most valuable part of the city of Newport, including the 'Old Stone Mill.' Benedict, son of William, was with his father when they went from Hingham to the Narragansett Bay in 1636. He moved to Newport in 1651 where he was very active in town affairs. In 1657, he succeeded Roger Williams as President of the colony until 1663 when he was named as the first governor which he was, with the exception of six years, until his death in 1678."

    Notes:

    He may be the Philip Arnold who bought at public auction part of the land of Jonathan Remington in 1741. (See notes for his brother-in-law Jonathan Remington.)

    Philip Arnold, son of Stephen Arnold, was a land owner in the town of Warwick, near Natick, where he resided until death.
    (source: History of the state of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations: Biographical; NY: The American Historical Society, Inc., 1920; pp 64 & 65)

    The will of Philip Arnold of Warwick, Esq, is dated 30 May 1749 and proved 14 Aug 1749. It mentions wife Susanna; sons Thomas, Benjamin, Philip, Joseph, Gideon, and Jonathan; dtrs Susanna, Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah, & Hannah.

    Several family trees online show two wives for Philip, both named Susanna, with the youngest son Jonathan being born of the second wife. The will of Philip's wife Susanna was proved in 1795 which suggests that she was a younger second wife, as the first Susanna was born in 1694.

    I have very roughly estimated the birth years of some of the children in this family.
