His will, dated November 14, 1741, named his wife, Hannah; two sons, John and Henry; three married daughters, Hannah, Mary, and Sarah; and his deceased brother, Henry Arnold.

Earlier than that, the marriage of John Arnold and Hannah Meakins was recorded on January 12, 1709/10.

John Arnold's gravestone. "Here lies the Body of Serg'nt John Arnold who Died November the 30th A.D. 1741 Aged 58 years." Photograph by Jim Bancroft, originally posted to John Arnold's Find A Grave page.
John Arnold died on November 30, 1741 and was buried at Center Cemetery in East Hartford, Connecticut. His gravestone, shown here, says he was 58 years old at his death. Simple arithmetic tells us therefore that he was born in 1683 or 1684. Nevertheless, there are countless online trees that say he was born more than twenty years earlier, in 1662, 1663, or 1664. Similarly, his birthdate in FamilySearch's family tree has been edited multiple times, switching between 1683 and these other dates.
So what's going on here? The short version is that there was a second John Arnold who was born in about 1663, and researchers have conflated these two people.
