I wonder if this J. W. Arnold that married Susan R. Meriwether in 1847 while in Tennessee our John W. Arnold because our family is claimed to be related to the Meriwethers and I cannot find a link. This could be it. She is the daughter of David Meriwether 12/3/1799 shown in the 1870 Census 174...I think this all goes together..found in my notes. need to be looked into.

Found in a 1870 Coweta Co., Georgia Census (M593 pg. 366) living in the 1139 district. He was 38 years old; a farmer born in Ga.. Anna West age 15, female, Black, Domestic Servant born in Georgia also lived in their household. $6000.00 Real abtate, $2150 Personal Property. Children born in Georgia.

Looks as if he lived in Palmetto, Georgia at one time. He was a Mason.
