(The Family in America).
(I) William Arnold, the founder of the family in America, was born in Chesel- bourne, Dorset, England. June 24, 1587. He was of a family of wealth and station, and the reasons actuating the removal to America of one of the representatives of several of England's most ancient line- ages are not exactly known. He was one of six children whom his father (who was
twice married) had by his first wife, and it appears that November 23, 1616, when William was but twenty-nine years old he was appointed administrator of the estate of his brother John. He married in England when still young, and all his children were born there; he, himself, on coming to America with his family, was about forty-eight years old, and since his family was one of standing, it is probable that he brought considerable means with him.
On May 1, 1635, he left England, and arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, June 24, 1635. After being at Hingham, Massachusetts, some time, he, on April 20, 1636, removed to Providence, Rhode Island, and on October 8, 1638, Roger Williams deeded to him and others lands theretofore purchased from the Indians. Later, in 1638, he removed to Pawtuxet and in 1639 became one of the twelve first members of the Baptist church. On January 27. 1640, he and thirty-eight others of Providence signed an agree- ment for civil government. The next year, on April 2, 1641, he received fur- ther lands, these being laid out to him in the north part of Providence, where it is said he had set out a wolf trap. The trapping of wolves was then an im- portant part of the settlers' work, as their depredations upon the cattle caused much loss, and later a tax was levied to com- pensate those who killed wolves in Provi- dence.
William Arnold was one of the most prominent and influential of the Paw- tuxet settlers. On November 7, 1641, these colonizers addressed a complaint to the Massachusetts authorities, as to the Gortonists, in which they requested aid, which latter was refused unless the Paw- tuxet settlers would recognize the juris- diction of Massachusetts, and thereafter on September 8, 1642, with others of
18
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
Pawtuxet, William Arnold recognized the authority and jurisdiction of Massa- chusetts ; he was thereupon appointed to keep the peace. Mr. Arnold enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the Massachu- setts authorities, with whom he held much correspondence, and the sum of seven pounds two shillings was ordered to be paid to him in wampum or such commodities as he desired with the state- ment that "the Court is thankful to him for his care and pains herein." He felt for the Indians a conscientious kindli- ness and in his dealings with them was actuated by a sense of strictest justice ; on August 15, 1648, he complained in a letter to the Governor of Massachusetts as to the injustice of the Warwick set- tlers toward the Indians, stating that these settlers are going on "with a high hand." On September 1, 1651, he wrote to Massachusetts concerning the matter of Roger Williams' proposed attempt to secure a charter for Rhode Island and said "under the pretence of liberty of conscience about these parts there come to live all the scum, the runaways of the country which in time of want of better order may bring a heavy burden on the land." He was not only endowed with an excellent education from his English upbringing, but had also on his removal to America become fluently familiar with the Indian dialect, and May 27, 1652, he was allowed twenty-six shillings together with the Sachems Pomham and Wota- punkun, for whom he had acted as inter- preter in Minecraft's case against them. About 1652 he appears to have resided near Pawtuxet Falls on the north side of the river.
For sixteen years he had been a leader among the Pawtuxet settlers, and in 1658 he, with others, deciding to reunite themselves with Providence, consum- mated the union upon their own motion.
He was possessed of considerable lands, and various conveyances made by him appear of record. On March 9, 1658, he notified the authorities that he had lately been robbed by some Indians, and this same year, on August 31st, he made a deed of some of his acreage to his grand- son, Jeremiah Rhodes. A few years later, in 1661, he served his fellow townsmen as commissioner, and on April 4, 1663, made a further conveyance of land north- west from Pawtuxet to his son Stephen. Conveyances of land to the founder Wil- liam were made by many of the notable first settlers of Rhode Island. Two years prior to his death, on March 15, 1675, he owned his signature to a deed to Abra- ham Mann of his share in the new pur- chase of land at Wayumkeck.
He died, at Providence, Rhode Island, it is believed, about 1676, and previous to November 3, 1677, as is proven by a deed of his son Benedict. He married, in Eng- land, Christian Peak, daughter of Thomas Peak; she was born in 1583. Issue (all born in England): I. Elizabeth, born No- vember 23, 1611; married Thomas Hop- kins. 2.

At the time of the Indian War, he had a garrison house at Providence, where his father took refuge on being forced to leave his own home.

(VII) William Searls Arnold, son of Philip and Catherine (Searls) Arnold, was born at Warwick, Rhode Island, No- vember 3, 1811. His early years covered one of the most trying periods in national history, the second war with England not alone making a most serious drain upon the straitened resources of the country, but for long years following the return of peace, commercial activity being heav- ily curtailed. Mr. Arnold was a boy seven years of age on the removal of his father to Woodstock, Connecticut, and in the environs of that picturesque Con- necticut village he grew to manhood. His education was pursued in the schools of the district, where he attended for ten years in the winter sessions, the vaca- tions being passed at the homestead farm.
He developed much perseverance and ambitious energy at an early age and was still much below his majority when he be- gan his career in the commercial world. His initial step in business was taken at Masonville, in Thompson, Connecticut, where he became connected with the plant of the Masonville Company, consisting then of a cotton factory and a country store. Here an excellent opportunity was presented to gain an insight into the de- tails of the business and to acquire prac- tical knowledge in the conduct of a com- mercial enterprise, and of this opportu- nity Mr. Arnold availed himself with an
21
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
unremitting attention and an untiring application to every detail of the busi- ness. In thus beginning his career, he de- veloped that determined persistence and untiring effort which were so strongly characteristic of him in all his life. He had enjoyed the inestimable advantages of a home environment emanating the highest standards of conduct. and his own firm and sterling character reflected in full measure his early upbringing ; and before long, so favorably had his char- acter and conduct, his diligence and abil- ity, recommended themselves in his new surroundings, that Mr. Amasa Mason, the head of the Masonville Company, offered him an interest in the business. Mr. Ma- son not alone agreed to take the energetic young man as a partner but he also sold him his share of the business without any cash payment therefor. taking only Mr. Arnold's note, and the wisdom of the course was soon apparent in the increased prosperity which the business enjoyed under the guidance of its efficient junior partner. The unceasing care and atten- tion upon its every detail bestowed by Mr. Arnold greatly enlarged the profits of the enterprise, and in 1852 he bought out all other interests and became sole proprietor. He was also the owner of various other large cotton mills in the same city, and he successfully and pros- perously managed these, as well as his other large business interests, for many years. In addition, Mr. Arnold had many other business interests, his activities be- ing not alone confined to the State of Con- necticut, but his name being associated with some of the most important com- mercial undertakings of his day : among these was the construction of the South- ern Minnesota railroad, in conjunction with the well-known railroad man, Van Horn; and various other commercial projects having for their object the de-
velopment of the natural resources of the country.
In 1867, having amassed a considerable fortune, Mr. Arnold retired from all active participation in mercantile affairs: his career had throughout been marked by the most straightforward dealing and un- swerving integrity, and he had proved himself not only an astute business man but an employer of labor always most thoughtfully careful of his operatives. After his retirement Mr. Arnold. follow- ing about ten years of residence in vari- ous places, finally selected Putnam, Con- necticut, for his future home : there he acquired for the occupancy of himself and his family, a large mansion beautifully situated, and in the peace and quiet of this charming vicinity passed the remainder of his days. Though his business affairs had for many years engrossed the major portion of his time, Mr. Arnold had never been unmindful of the duties of a citizen ; wholly undesirous for himself of any po- litical preferment, he had lent his support to that political party whose principles he deemed most lastingly beneficial to the people at large, and consistently adhered to the old time Whig party until the Re- publicans put forth their platform, when he joined them. He was a staunch, un- flinching opponent of slavery. and stood unwaveringly and consistently for abo- lition, which he sought to achieve by every means within his power. In the great cause of abolition. he expended large sums, and on all occasions threw the weight of his influence in favor of its consummation.
Mr. Arnold's long, useful and active life presents a fine example of those sterling qualities, characteristic of American citi- zenry since the foundation of the Repub- lic, which by their energy, initiative and indomitable perseverance have made the nation of first commercial importance in

Mrs. Arnold died in September, 1865. Throughout her married life she was the dear companion, ready with sympathy and helpfulness, to whom on all occasions her husband owed his greatest comfort ; of an elevated character, she joyed in do- ing good and in aiding others ; and among the large force of working people em- ployed in Mr. Arnold's manufacturing business, unselfishly devoted a large share of her time to assist those in need. Mr. Arnold married (second) in 1886. Mary E. Williams, daughter of Alphonso Wil- liams, of West Gloucester, Rhode Island. Issue (by first wife) : Harriet A., married Dr. Jacob F.
