The Reams family lived near the Arnetts. Short Mountain is a mountain and a community in Cannon Co (Woodbury is the county seat) TN that is near the Warren Co (McMinnville is the county seat) TN line. 1880 Cannon Co TN dist. 9 is enumerated: James E. ARNETT 49, born KY, doctor of medicine, father born NC, mother born KY Rhoda C. 35 wife, born TN, keeps house Elijah 18, son, born TN, works on farm James 14, son, born TN, works on farm Joseph 11, son, born TN, works on farm Martha 8, dau, born TN Mary 6, dau, born TN Eliza HAUTTERMAN 15, st. dau., born TN William MELTON 9, st. son, born TN, works on farm Roda/Rhoda (Melton) Hautterman/Halterman/Holterman/Halderman - Arnett was the daughter of William J. and Mary (Hendrickson) Melton, Jr.; and granddaughter of Ancil Melton (of which I also descend). Rhoda first married John Halterman. Ancil Melton was enumerated in early Warren Co TN; left a will in Cannon Co TN 1842. It was not clear to me in your query, just which of the children of James E. Arnett you descend from.
