Research Notes

• Winslow’s History of Perquimans, mentions, in her Arnold family notes, that this Edward Arnold of Chowan Precinct, and the John Arnold d.1735, of Perquimans, both had seals with their names. She fails to mention if they were identical, or not, but since she mentioned, I would assume they were related somehow, and both had similar crests.
