General Notes: Husband - Andrew Arnold

---

He was born and reared near Kittanning, Pennsylvania, where he successfully operated a large tannery for over forty years. He was an old-line whig, a member and trustee of the Presbyterian church.

He came from Connecticut and settled in western Pennsylvania at an early date, his home being situated on the site that was later the town of Arnold. A part of the estate was subsequently donated to the Pennsylvania Railroad as a right of way by the Arnolds, and the company placed a station there which it named in honor of the family.

He established an extensive tannery at Manorville, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, had large landed interests in the county and ranked as one of the wealthy men of his day. He was a man of talent and ability, as well as of business enterprise, and served with distinction as associate judge of Armstrong County for many years. An old-line whig and an ardent supporter of Henry Clay, he naturally was drawn into politics and became an able leader of the Whig party in his Congressional district.
