Note: sandra Gray, he was born 1798 South Carolina. They are both buried in the Old Clausel Hill Cemetery in Prentiss County, Mississippi as well as others related to the family. Zachariah left South Carolina about 1840 and went through Tennessee (Lawrence Co.) and he left other Arnolds by "parting at the river". The others went west by a different route. (story told at Arnold Family Reunion by older cousins on June 10, 2000). Looking in South Carolina for him, I find him in Abbeville County in 1820 on the census. He is also mentioned as "Z.W. Arnold and wife" in his father-in-law's will as follows: " Abstracts of Old Ninety- Six and Abbeville District" it was compiled by Pauline Young "GRAY, FREDERICK Box 36 Pack 793 Will dated 24 Nov 1836 in Abbeville Dist. Proved 7 Oct 1837 Extrs: Wm., J.F. Gray Wit: Williamson Norwood, David F. Cleskey and Alex Hughes Wife: Mary Gray Children.: Geo., Wm., Jno. F., T. Jefferson Gray, Washington R. Gray(decd.), Henry Gray(decd.) Mary Ann Marshall, Cloutte Boyd, Jane Thomas. Grand Daughter: Eliza Klugh. Sett. made 13 Nov 1839. Shares recd. by F.G., Timothy Thomas, Robt. H. Boyd, Thos. J. Gray, Jno. Marshall Jas. M. Thomas, Z.W. Arnold and wife, Wm. C. Norwood and wife, W. Wade and wife, Elizabeth Gray, Jno. H. Linch and wife, Martha E. Gray."
Zachariah is found again in the year 1820 doing business in Washington Co., SC: "Estate Partitions in the Washington District Court of Equity SCMAR, Vol. VII, Summer 1979, No. 3, p.185 EXHIBIT C. August 17 1820 Rec'd of Jacob Niswanger the sum of $1350 for five negroes which are bound by different Judgements: Amey, Jenny, Tom, Lemuel & Jordan, which being appraised by Mr. Lewis Watson & Zachariah Arnold amounts to the above stated sum." There is another Zachariah Arnold living in South Carolina in the early 1800's but he was much older than Zach W. Arnold, was a Quaker minister and he lived in Laurens Co., SC. A Quaker minister would not be appraising slaves. I also find that all the people listed in the documents with Zachariah W. Arnold had a lot of money, land, and slaves throughout the south. Something that the Rev. Zach did not have nor did his descendants.
