Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/WV/Hampshire/1347 Surname: Arnold, Davis ------------------------- In the 1850 Census for Hampshire County, Hardin Arnold (age 38, born in VA)was listed with his wife, Nancy (age 37) and two children, Rich W. and Mary E. In an 1898 obituary for Nancy, Hardin Arnold was described as a "well known engineer for the B & O ... who was killed by the cars in 1859 after having been married for 20 years." Of the four children, two survived her, RH (a son) and Mrs. Martha Davis of Oldtown, Maryland. These are my only two sources for information on Hardin Arnold. Is there a possibility that the sons' names both were Richard? and that Hardin was my Hardin's middle name? Please email me if you have any suggestions.
