Volume 7 also describes Isaac as...
ISAAC ARNOLD was born in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia ca 1685, the last child of THOMAS and GRACE ARNOLD. He married in Richmond Co, VA, to MARGARET GOFFE in 1707. ISAAC is found in records indicating he was prominent in many County Councils and was Vestryman of the Hanover Parish Church for many years. He was appointed Church Warden in 1743. He made an effort once or twice to establish his land in his blood line by creating an “entail” on his land but in each case the heirs broke the agreement and sold the land after his death.
