Hi, you mention Ann Arundel- could this be part of the Arendell Family of pioneer Tom Arendell of Stephenville and Selden? His old log cabin is restored on the Open Spaces Dairy, where a cousin moved it from the site built by Tom and restored it to near useable condition- dirt floor, fireplace, old chairs, and all. He raised a fairly large family- one married one of my Grandmother Ida Moxley Wyly's sister.
