6. James Arnold Sr. (1732-??)

James Sr. was born about 1732 to Isaac Jr and Sarah Arnold, in most likely King George County, Virginia. Unfortunately I can not find a marriage record for him, so his wife is unknown. Some suggest that James Sr married a woman named Sarah.  But, there were at least 3 sons named James in each generation during this time period. (Half of which married a woman named Sarah)

I have found a book (pg 35) transcribing the 1782 Census that lists a household for a James Arnold in Monongalia County. (This county is restructured many times, and is the mother county of Harrison.) In the home is only 2 people. I believe it is James Sr and possibly James Jr.

1789 Tax List with James still in Harrison County.

There isn't much in the way of records for James Sr. I don't even have a time period for his death, but I am guessing it was in Harrison County.
