Descendants and Ancesters of William Arnold
William set sail with his family May 1, 1635, from
Dartmouth, England, and arrived June 24, 1635, in New England. He
is mentioned in Lincoln's "History of Hingham, Massachusetts," as WIlliam
Arnall and as coming thither in 1635. He removed with his family
April 20, 1636, to Providence, Rhode Island where he received grants of
land from Roger Williams and his initials W. A. are second in the famous
Initial deed of Roger Williams and became one of the original proprietors
of Providence Plantations in 1636, the lands being purchased from the Indian
Sachems, Conanicus and Miantonomi of Mooshansic, afterward called Providence.
He was President of the four towns, Portsmouth, Newport, Providence and
Warwick for five years and Governor of the Colony for ten years.
