I have just found your post. I am of the Arnold family. My 3 ggdf Frederick Frietrig John Arnoldi, or several other spellings was from Germany. His 1st wife Martha Schauer died in childbirth coming by ship to Virginia. They eventually came to Canada Kent Cty in the Chatham area. They had several children Christopher aka. Stoffel,Lewis ,Frederick Jr., Catherine, Medlin Polly, etc. I would very much appreciate any info you can provide. thank you for your time and help. Marlene Arnold/Stenton Russell.
