This lists an otherwise unrecorded child, Turner, b. 1844.
!BIRTH, DEATH: obituary.
!RELIGION: Evangelical Lutheran Church, where he was a deacon in St.
Peter's
Evangelical Lutheran Church in 1843..
!Apparently Peter and Mary Ann Arnold were abolitionists, for it is
recorded
that they harbored runaway slaves in their home.
!"Notes made by Katharine Arnold in conversation with Samuel P.
Arnold before
his death in 1951":
! Great grandfather Peter Arnold was born in Franklin Township,
Pa. near
Dillsburg in 1767. [1794] He was a tenant farmer in York County
until he
migrated to the place he had bought in Luthersburg, Pa. [1837] Dad
did not
know much about his great grandfather except that he had evidence
that the
original Peter Arnold came to the United States in 1751. His son
was George
Arnold, the father of Peter Arnold, my great grandfather.
! In 1836 my great grandfather, Peter Arnold, rode horseback out

Luthersburg

store in
Luthersburg.
! The year they arrived in Luthersburg, wheat was unobtainable
and so great
grandfather Arnold sent his boys, including my grandfather, down to
Indiana
County to purchase corn. Dad was told as a boy that the family ate
cornmeal
all the next year but that great grandmother was such a good cook
that they did
not object as she varied the menu.
! Great grandmother Arnold was Suzanna Klugh, the daughter of
Captain
Philip Klough, a Revolutionary Army solder of Germantown, Pa.
[Lancaster, Pa.]
! Great grandfather Arnold taught the first school in the area
and there
were a number of children born, as follows: George Arnold, Fred
Arnold and
Manasseh Arnold, all starting banks in the surrounding towns. In
addition
there was a ...
