Biography

Hendrick Arnold was a Virginia colonist.

Hendrick Arnold is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A003249.

Hendrick Arnold was born about 1755 in Colony of Virginia, son of Benjamin Arnold II and Ann (Hendrick) Arnold.

Hendrick (~23) married Ruth Howard Cash (~18) in about 1778. Their children were:

1. William Arnold
2. Mary (Arnold) Townsend
3. Nancy
4. Ira Arnold.

Hendrick's Will was written on 15 Jul 1795 in Laurens County, South Carolina and he likely died shortly thereafter.

Research Notes

Hendrick's will names only 4 children, William, Mary, Nancy, Ira. Descendants of Mary and Ira have made successful applications to join the DAR. Nancy, however, is appearing in other charts with a variety of different spouses and it is not clear at this time exactly which Nancy would be his daughter. So this area needs more records to support the current claim. There are also claims that the wife of his son, William, was Elizabeth Neighbors. This too still needs documentation, if there is any. Anne is probably a nickname for Nancy and not a separate child.
