Family Notes

There is much confusion on this family which appears to be a combination of a Samuel Arnold married to a Sarah Holmes and a Samuel Arnold married to a Sarah Webb. The result is a family with children born over a 60 year period from 1672 to 1732. I believe this to represent two different families and probably two different Samuel Arnolds. This Sarah Holmes is widely credited as having married Samuel Arnold, son of Rev Samuel and Elizabeth Arnold. However, there are many inconsistencies in this connection. Sarah is listed as being born in 1646 and as dying in 1654 with a marriage date fo Samuel Arnold in 1671 with children born in years following. Other records show Samuel as marrying Sarah Webb but many of those records indicate that Sarah Webb's husband, Samuel Arnold was not born until 1688/89. All records involving these individual should be regarded with caution. (Sprague)
