I am searching for links to my Arnold family in Alabama. The last solid data on this branch of ancestry is my paternal grandfather, Jefferson Vincent Arnold (b 2 Sept 1884; d 14 July 1961 in Talladega). He lived for some time in Ashland, AL where he and his wife, Anna (Texanna) Burgess, raised five children: Vernie Joiner, (William) Hubert Arnold (my father), Minnie Haywood, Velma Goss, and Jeff V. Arnold Jr. They rented land for farming several miles south of Ashland until the early 1930s, but all eventually moved to Talladega. Only Jeff Jr. survives, but he is unable to assist in the identification of other relatives. It is likely that my gr-grandfather was James V. Arnold (b. 1849) who may have moved to Clay County from Bibb County. My probable gr-gr-grandfather may have been William V. Arnold (b. 1821). I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is related or who has information on this family. Merrell Arnold 10209 Ledbury Way Louisville, KY 40223 melharnold@aol.com
