Levi Arnold & Elijah Arnold may have spent some time in Franklin Co. TN from 1811 to 1818. Abraham Kuykendall of Lincoln Co., TN conveyed 200 acres on Bean's creek to Jessie Bean & Levi Arnold on 12 Nov 1811. In Aug 1816 there was another deed from Abraham K. to Levi Arnold.

It is now known that Rebecca Kuykendall Arnold was the daughter of Matthew & Nancy Johnson Kuykendall. Levi & brother Elijah Arnold came to early TN with this Kuykendall family, ending up in Franklin Co. TN before 1812, where Levi & Elijah lived on land adjacent to Rebecca's brother, Abraham Kuykendall, and near other members of that specific Kuykendall line. Matthew and some of the other Kuykendall sons are listed on the Hardeman Co. TN census by 1830, while Levi & Elijah are in Haywood Co., but soon afterwards, Levi and family go with Matthew and several other siblings of Rebecca into DeSoto Co. MS, where the Arnolds continue to live out the rest of their lives in the area of Horn Lake, in close proximity to Rebecca's brother, William Kuykendall m. Mary Gotcher.
