From a descendant, Susana Aravena: "We know George was born in USA. He stated, in a church record, that he was native of Providence. George was in Argentina in 1804. I know he was Protestant. The record I obtained was from the Inquisition. He was forced or not, I do not know, to convert to Catholicism. The next year he had his first son, my grandmother's grandfather's brother. As well, we know that when my grandmother was around 10 years old a relative from the line Arnold-Brown visited my family in Argentina."
