No one knows for sure who John's father was. Both had sons John; Arnold's John was born 14 10m 1654 and William's John was born in 1655. Before the end of 1682 they sailed up the Albermarle Sound and up the Pasquotonk River. There was a settlement of Quakers there. It is not a highly populated area now. Symons Creek Meeting house is marked by a memorial stone and on it reads "SITE OF FIRST MEETING HOUSE ERECTED BY THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS IN NORTH CAROLINA 1705."
