Wow.... looking at the Arnetts in the Cannon marriage book can be confusing. James "Arnet" to Sarah Hendrix, James Arnett to Ann Motley, J.E. Arnett to R.C. Melton, Jas. E. Arnett to Izzan Grizzell, then Joe Arnett, Joe E. Arnett. Looks like Joe married to Zanie Melton on 12/02/1898 (Book E, pg.360 is probably the same as Joe E., married to Janie Melton on 12/24/1898 (license date, with an actual marriage date of 08/11/1898, Book F, pg.162). I guess ????? This Joe appears to be in the 1880 Cannon census, as a son of James Arnett. James has a new wife, Rhoda C. Melton (married just before the census), so Joe's mother maybe is Sarah Hendrix ?? I got lost somewhere...... I think...... Jess
