3. Esther Arnold (2.Sarah2, 1.Edward1) was born 22 Sep 1647, Providence, RI; died Bef 26 Apr 1708.
Notes:
One genealogy at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has her married three times: William Andrews, Edward Hawkins, & James Dexter. Her mother's will dated 26 April 1708 does not mention Esther, so I am assuming she died before then. However, that will does mention grandchildren Esther Hawkins, James Dexter, & possibly Isabel Dexter, all of whom may be Esther's children.

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.Philip married Susannah Greene 10 Jun 1714, Warwick, RI. Susannah (daughter of Benjamin Greene and Susannah Holden) was born 16 Jul 1694, Meshanticut, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]
