Re Henry & Richard ARNOLD asking about ARNOLDs in locations of Montague, Augusta twsp,, E'town, Leeds & Grenville. Ca 1795-1800 Hannah ARNOLD sister of Benedict ARNOLD came with Richard & possibly Henry, sons of his first mar. Richard stayed & flourished but Henry who was mar to Hannah TENEYCK in New York City leaves only a minimal mention in records. The boys' Aunt Hannah died in Montague in 1803. This is the vicinity where ca 1795-1800 Richard & Henry, the 2 sons of the noted General Benedict ARNOLD settled.

Interested in untangling mixed-up registry of the desc of this remarkable man. Would like if records of these sons are left in area & to know if you can throw some light on this mystery. Interest is of purely historic nature. Live near Baltimore MD.
