For some reason I did not receive a notice when you replied and I just now found your response. I will continue to try to solve this puzzle. According to some sources online (?) it was James' younger brother, David William, who married a Kavanaugh and had a daughter named Ella. What I do know is that a James F. Arnett, born 1831 in MS, married in 1859 to a widow, Nancy Parsons, who had 2 children, Hugh and Sarah(Sally). They are listed in the Milam Co. census 1860. In 1880, Nancy was widowed and living with her son, William Hugh Parsons. I am trying to see if the two James F. Arnett's are one in the same. Thank you, Toni
