The facts concerning Benjamin or Jerry Arnold and Ruth Bailey's children have yet to be proven to my satisfaction. I do believe Permelia & Francis were brother and sister, based on the will of Permelia's husband, William B. Buchanan, who names Francis Arnold "my brother-in-law" as executor of his estate. Watson's Greenwood County Sketches indicates that Francis Arnold had brothers, Robert Jackson, Tom & William. Permelia's son, T. J. Buchanan, was enumerated with Robert Jackson Arnold's family in Lafayette County, Mississippi, in 1850. While we still need more solid evidence, I present the family here as I believe it to be. As always, I encourage anyone with facts that prove or disprove to contact me.
