Descendants of Thomas Arnett, Sr.
This descendant outline report is Marge Fox's with the addition of Polly Arnett who m. William Bryant. Marge has a question whether Polly was, indeed, the daughter of Thomas. The parents of Thomas were Alexander Arnett and wife Ruth of Loudoun Co, VA. He also had brothers, Alexander (with son Thomas) and Samuel, and at least one sister. Current thinking is that the nephew, Thomas lived in Bedford, PA and later moved to Ohio.
