“Thomas Arnold, Isaac (f) db-4 74 3 may 1733 7 Feb 1754 (lease & release 60 mb han par Gingoteague Creek – see Arnold to Turner —reference) Humphrey Arnold of the parish of Hamilton, County of prince William, to Thomas turner, lease of land whereon my father Thomas Arnold formerly lived and was given and conveyed him by his father Isaac Arnold deed of gift bearing day 3 may 1733. land whereon Edward Jones containing by estimation 60 a. in King George”.
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 Arnold eldest 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.
