Some have said William is either Nathan's brother or father. Nathan did name a son William, so it is a strong family name. Here's my Nathan's info: Nathan Arrendall b. 1676, Dobbs County, NC d. April 13, 1823, Franklin County, GA buried-Arendell-Moss Cemetery, DAR Patiot Look up # - RZAP4K 1776 Caswell's NC Regiment m. Susannah Fannin (Fanning) b March 30, 1774, Elbert County, GA d, April, 1846 Children: Laughlin Arendell Rebecca Arendell Winifred Arendell John Arendell Elizabeth Arendell William Arendell (Here's another one) Nathan L. Arendell Lincoln Arendell 1780 Tax List for Dobbs County lists: 1 18 William Arrendell, 1,529 acres 1 42 Nathan Arrendell, 400 acres (We can guess this was son if 18 is his age and father.?)
