3. William Arnold (1848- Unk)

William Thomas Arnold was the son of Charles D. Arnold and Lucretia Nichols. He was born about 1848 in Calhoun County, West Virginia. He married Sarah Angeline Siers in Braxton County as states the marriage record on file.

Sarah Angeline was the daughter of Isaac Siers and Isabel Rollyson. Sarah Angeline can be found in her father's home in Braxton County before marrying William in 1870, and according to census records, was born after August 24 and before September 21, 1848. 

The first census record William and Sarah Angeline are found in together is the 1880 US Census record for Clay County in the Otter District. In this record, we are shown they have 5 Children at this time. William is a farmer.

In the 1900 Census Records for Clay County, Otter District, we are shown William is still listed as a farmer, and he owns his farm free of any mortgage. This record also gives us some birth months and years to work from with the family. William is listed as born in December 1845 and Sarah as May 1849. 

Moving into 1910, the family is still pretty settled in Otter District. The two youngest boys  being the only children still at home. Samuel is already a teacher in public school and Burton is a farm laborer. 

William and Sarah Angeline had 9 children. Thus far, I have found and confirmed these as siblings to Samuel Martin:

I believe William and Sarah Angeline are both buried here in the Arnold Cemetery located in Clay County, West Virginia. The dates are unknown for these two markers, so I can not with full authority say that this is the William and Angeline we are looking for. I can not find any records fitting our couple after the 1910 census. It appears between 1910-1920 they passed away.
