Cynthia,
looks like we are finding a tie here...Silas White Arnett is in Hyde Co. NC in 1789... have not found much about him but would like to talk to you .. I am persuing the Arnett name because it appears in my family as a first name ...in 1810 we have "Arnett Latham"... It is likely that his mother was an Arnett ...this is the first appearance of the name in this family....altho it is used in later generation... all help will be appreciated...Virginia
