- Notes for Mary Elizabeth Arnold:
Con:"Hampshire Co., (West) Virginia, Deed Bk. 1"
p. 89:
Lease from George Horner to John Woodfin - for 100 (English
pounds) - 350 acres on North River of Cacapon (long
description, no names). Wits.: John Arnold, George Nicson,
Rude Bumgarner (last by mk.). Made: 27 Mar 1761

John Arnold is identified by Pugh (II, 44) as a minister of the Primitive Baptist Church
on North River. This church is said to have been established by Benjamin Stone in 1787 and is
the oldest known Baptist Church in the Cacapon or North River Valleys. Levi Ashbrook was
also a minister of the group on North River (Asplund, 27).

George NIXON wife Elizabeth ARNOLD - the Nixon's are believed to from New
