Hello all, was just passed on some new information to try for my arnold family tree. Wanted to see if anyone could shed any light on this. My gg grandfather was john henry arnold born 7-8-1869 in arkansas but before his first birthday he is found on the 1870 shannon co. missouri census living with elijah bates and family. the story is that after he was born he and his parents moved to missouri. I have been told his mother's name was emma bullard. after getting to missouri, john henry's father went with his parents and family to texas. Emma didnt want to go so she stayed in missouri, and I assume they got divorced, maybe never married? she married again to a man named reynolds or mcreynolds. I was just told that john henry's dad's name might have been jack arnold or as he was known by "one legged jack" was just curious as to if anyone had any information about jack or if it struck any cords with anyone. thanks for reading. I would appreciate any help anyone could give me. I ! am having a real hard time with my arnold family tree. thanks again jennifer
