Your henry & Louise were children of Thomas Arnold & I think his 2nd wife. Was Thomas the s/o a William from Oglethorpe Co.,Ga?? I know thomas was in Choctaw Co by 1850 w/ his children & 2 Rucker children. My ancestor was Sally Arnold b. 1801nc/KY, died 1/1860 Choctaw Co.,MS. she was married 2x, 1st to John F. Taylor 1819 Shelby Co.,AL, they moved to Autauga Co.,AL. JFT died 1833 & left Sallie w/ 6 children. She remarried 1837 Autauga Co.,AL to William P. King. William B. Arnold was the surety. don't know if that was her father or brother. Sallie had 5 kids by Wm. King including my ancestor Anna King b. 1838. They moved to Choctaw where Sallie died in 1860. They lived next to many Rucker families so again there is an unknown connection. I've traced these folks from Oglethorpe Co.,GA through Shelby & autauaga Co.,AL to MS. Can't find Wm. King in MS after 1860. Are they in TX w/ your bunch? Cindy
