Hey where are all the Arney researchers? Have you all gathered all the information you need or want? I refuse to believe that there is no one among my line of Arneys that is still looking for information. Again, my line of Arneys that is known to me at this point begins with Jacob Arney who died in Lincoln County, North Carolina in 1784. His son Peter Arney (born in 1772 in Tryon/Lincoln County, North Carolina), moved from Lincoln County, North Carolina after 1792 to Wythe County, Virginia there he married and began his family. Sometime between 1800 and 1814 he moved again to Overton County, Tennessee, where he died in 1845. Doesn't anyone want to know more about Jacob Arney? Where he came from, who his parents were? Where did our branch of the Arneys originate? The rest of my branch of the Arneys is as follows: Peter Arney (1772-1845) Matthew Arney, Sr. (1818-1902) William Ervin Arney (1841-1887) Opha Jouett Arney (1875-1956) Stanley Goble Arney (1909-1979) Jerry Kenneth Arney (1938-1998) Stanley Allen Arney (1961- ) My branch of the Arneys have been in the same general area of Tennesse that Peter Arney was, mostly in Overton County and Pickett County, Tennessee. My grandmother, Bertha Claudine (Melton) Arney still lives in Overton County, Tennessee today, in Livingston. Many last surviving uncle still lives in Tennessee, my last surviving aunt will be selling her house and moving back their next spring, and many of my cousins still reside in Tennessee. If you are researching this branch of the Arneys, please let me know, I would be happy to share what I have, and more than happy to team up and try to solve the mystery of Jacob Arney, who was he, where did he come from, who were his parents, etc. [Note: For a long time many Arney researchers believed that Jacob Arney was the son of a Frederick Ernigh, but further research has proven that to be FALSE. See what research can do, it can prove or disprove.] Have a great weekend. Stan Arney Stanley Arney Wichita, KS Researching my Arney heritage, looking for definitive tangible proof of each of their existence, so we KNOW the truth and can share it with others. Building a website that will make it easier for those who come after me to find their Arney lineage. __________________________________ Yahoo!
