The best I can do so far is based on an 1820 Oglethorpe or Green Co Georgia census. I do not have it front of me at the moment. As I recall the census that had William and Mary, listed their children by year of birth. The census indicated a son born at the same time as Zacariah and another son born 1817-18 same as my Simon. That is the best documented evidence I have to date. How's that?

The only child I have for William and Mary Arnold is Zacharia. If you can get that pinned down, I may be able to help with proof on back.
