The late Ruby Runnels Shelton gave me the maiden name Nichols.
There is a Betsy Ann Arinder b 1840 and died 1924 buried in the Goodwater Baptist Church Cemetery, Smith County, Mississippi, that someone states is a wife of Tillman Arinder, but I cannot verify.
There is also an 1880 Census, Jones County, Mississippi with a widowed Minerva Amenda age 30, with daughters Martha age 6, and Dicy age 3, that could be the 2 Arinder girls that married the Roberts brothers. Should someone out there know, please let me know.
