Hannah Arnot

Hannah Arnett (White) January 15, 1729-January 10, 1823

Parents:

Husband: Isaac Arnett 1726-1801

Children:

1. Susan (Arnett) Kollock 1755-1846
2. William Arnett 1774-1821

A noted patriot of the Revolutionary War, Hannah Arnett, nee White, is remembered as a "noble woman" who prevented a group of local men from deserting the cause of American independence in exchange for the British Crown's "protection of life and property". When her home was used by this group to discuss accepting the British offer, she burst into the meeting to denounce the men as "traitors and cowards". Although her husband, Isaac Arnett, made her withdraw from the room, she continued to berate those within, asserting that she would leave Isaac if he deserted the American cause. Stung by her passionate denunciation, the group reconsidered and refused the British offer. After her death in her 94th year, Hannah was buried near the churchyard wall, under a marker which has since deteriorated beyond recognition. Isaac Arnett, who died at age 76 in 1801, is buried nearby, as are three of their children who died in infancy: a boy, John, and two girls named Elizabeth Ann. Hannah Arnett's story was first celebrated in 1890 by Mary Lockwood Smith, who helped found the Daughters of the American Revolution. Arnett is also the principal honoree on a memorial monument in the churchyard "honoring the patriotic dead of many wars" which was erected by the D.A.R. in 1938.

Info added per DAR's "Lineage Book of the Charter Members" by Mary S Lockwood and published 1895 stating "Hannah (White) Arnett's patriotic service is well known in history"

Her Mother is Sarah Howell White, married to Silas White in 1732, possible in New York as her sister Elizabeth was born there too.
