Biography

Francis Arnold Jr was a Virginia colonist.

Francis Arnold, Jr. was born about 1735 in Virginia to Francis Arnold and Rachel Arnold.

He married Candace Kent in October 1782.^{[citation needed]}

In 1790, he was living in Randolph County, North Carolina.^[1]

He died in Bedford, Tennessee sometime after 1820.

Research Notes

Francis has grown and married children by 1790, so the 1782 marriage date can't work for him. Is Candace a second wife and not the mother of the older children?
