You didn't get him in 1850? I didn't and I didn't get him in 1851 which might place his emigration very well in that year. I have been reading the biography and found it very interesting that the sister married a Corp which you think might be Marys maiden name. Were you able to find Marys emigration?

I have James Sr's wife Mary Summers, children John, James jr, Elizabeth and Mary all in Olmstead and Wabasha Co., MN in late 1800 to 1900. I have tombstone records for them in MN. I just found the family history for James Arnold Jr online on the Wabasha Co, MN from a Wabasha Co., MN history book for 1884. There I found the information on when James Sr died and when his son came to USA ( have not been able to locate a ship passenger list for him info on Ancestry does not match). I have james Arnold jr living in Pike co., IN in 1860 census near his future wife Mary Ann Wheeler and their Marriage in Warren Co., IN 22 Apr 1862. I have 1857 state census of Wabasha Co MN showing Stephen Summers, Wife Mary Summers, Mary's Son James Jr. and James sister Mary all living together. James Jr is back in Pike Co., IN in 1860 > census as a day laborer living in a boarding house. 1870 James Arnold jr is living with wife and children in Olmstead Co., MN, sister Mary is living with husband George Everett and children in Wabasha co., MN they married in 1858. Elizabeth is also married. John is living in Wabasha co., MN with wife and no children on state censu 1875. > > Most of family are buried in Farm Hill Cem. Olmstead Co., MN > > Sharon M. Bledsoe > >
