Notes for Andrew Arnold

The story is that he is the link between David and Johann Gorg Arnold,
a fairly well documented "immigrant ancestor" from a specific location
in the old country - Germany.
An input from Nancy Kiddoo, 11/12/93 letter;
David was NOT the son of Sam,Sr, but of his brother ANDREW, whose
wife was Catherine Stoner Arnold. (Stoner is taken to mean her
maiden name, it appears). This upsets the belief held by some, based
on hand-me-down stories, that Samuel was the link between Johann Gorg
Arnold and his grandson, David.
Some real digging into letters received from "cousins" who came
down from Sam,Jr and/or Sr has to be done now. Nancy cites her in-
put as from Emmert Bittinger's book "Allegheny Passage", and she
is quite a digger in her own right. Paradoxically, she is from the
Houpt(Haupt) line that eventually tied into the Arnold branch.
I have questioned about this in Feb 1994 letter to my second cousin
once removed, Verlin Krabill, who is a friend of Emmert. I have asked
him to list the children of both Samuel,Sr and Andrew with sources
identified. Dr. Krabill lives in Burkittsville, MD and Dr. Bittinger
resides nearby (VA).
JAB, March 9, 1994.
