Biography

Thomas Arnold was a Virginia colonist.

Thomas ARNOLD was born around 1705 in Richmond. Co., Va. He died around 1743 in King George Co., Va.. Thomas was born in Hanover Parish, Richmond Co., Va the first son of Isaac and Margaret (Goff) Arnold.

There is no record of his birth which can only be estimated from the first record in which he appears. Shortly after the birth of the first son of Thomas, Humphery, on 30 August 1727, Thomas' father, Isaac, gave a deed of gift of 60 acres of land being a part of a 226 acre grant which Isaac had obtained earlier. This gift specifically refers to his son, Humphery, and was evidently also a gift to the recently married couple-Thomas and Mary, On this account the date of marriage of Thomas and the date of birth of Humphery can be estimated.

On 3 May 1733 having cleared up a question of title to the same property, Isaac again provided a deed of gift for the same 60 acres to Thomas Arnold in which it was again specified that this land should be for "Humphery Arnold eldest son of Thomas".

No additional records exist for Thomas Arnold until 1743 when he died intestate at his home in King George Co. His widow, Mary, was named as administratrix 6 May 1743 and the inventory of his estate was recorded 3 June 1743.
