Fellow researchers, I'm tracing Arneys in Overton County, TN. Peter Arney was born in 1772, in Tryon (now Lincoln) County, North Carolina. Peter Arney moved (around his 21st birthday) to Wythe County, VA where he married and began his family. Peter Arney moved (around 1800) to Overton County, Tennessee (putting his age around 28 when he arrived in TN). Peter Arney died in August 1845 (in Overton County, TN) at the age of 73. Peter Arney was the son of Jacob Arney and the brother of Christian Arney. Christian Arney was born in 1750, in York County, PA. Jacob Arney died in 1784, in Lincoln County, NC. Christian Arney died in 1834, in Lincoln County, NC. Peter Arney (born in 1772) to Matthew Arney, Sr (born 1818) to William Ervin (born 1841) to Otha Jouett (born 1875) to Stanley Goble (born 1909) to Jerry Kenneth (born 1938) to Stanley Allen (born 1961). The Arneys, from Peter to Jerry Kenneth (my father), stayed in Tennessee, in the Overton and Pickett County area. My grandmother, Bertha Claudine (Melton) Arney still lives in Tennessee as to many of my relatives. Many living in the Byrdstown and Livingston area. I'm researching this particular branch of the Arneys. Tracing Peter back through Wythe County, VA to Lincoln County, NC. Then going further tracing the family from Tryon (now Lincoln) County, NC back to York County, PA. It is believed that they originated in Switzerland, but tracing them has been a bit difficult. Finding Jacob Arney's siblings, parents, and the rest of the Arney family, solving the "Mystery of Jacob Arney" (over 250 years in the making), is my ultimate goal. Any assistance you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Stan, Are you interested in the present day Arney's of Overton and Pickett Counties, or more in your earlier Arney family? I don't research this family, but if you need contacts with Overton-Pickett families I could send you the telephone directory of those listed in the book.
