LOCATION OF SAMUEL ARNOLD'S LANDS
Samuel Arnold's first land purchase was on Jan 14, 1792 when he bought 150 acres, described as being on Mill Creek, from Richard Relfe. The purchaser was described as being from Frederick County [MD]. Howerer, in his second purchase, Arnold obtained an additional 408 acres on Mill Creek from John Relfe on April 16, 1702 In this land record, he is described as being of Hampshire County. The witness to the second purchase were his brother, Daniel Arnold, brother-in-law Jacob Ludwick, and Jacob Young. The deed of April 16, 1792, states that the land adjoined that of William Buffington and Peter Beaver and lay in the drains of Mill Creek. The Neff land also joined Buffington, and this reveals the fact that the Arnolds and Neffs were close neighbors. Samuel's land evidently was located on both sides of presesnt day Route 50 [U.S. 50, WV] near where Beaver Run Road begins. The Three hundred acre tract on Route 50, part of which today is known as the "Cheshire Place" which Samuel sold to Zachariah in 1799, was described in the deed as lying on the Mill Creek watershed. Mill Creek flows northeasterly into the South Branch. Beaver Run, beginning at the "Cheshire Place" flows north into the Patterson Creek about three miles distant. In his book on the Arnold family, Baker (2) says that Samuel lived about one half mile east of the Cheshire place. A large two-story log house still stands in the filed across Route 50 from the Zachariah Arnold farm (Cheshire Place) to the east of the Worth Ludwick lane. This place came to be known as the Leatherman place. John T. Leatherman lived there, and his grandfather, John Leatherman, [note 37 - This John Leatherman, born 1800, was a son of Daniel and grandson of patriarch Nicholas Leatherman.] married Elder Samuel Arnold's daughter, Rebecca. Thus John Leatherman aparently came in possession of the property at the time of Samuel's untimely death from a buggy accident in 1831. It is said that John and Rebecca Leatherman's son, Daniel, was born one mile west of Junction, a location which would accurately fit the location of this farm (Letherman, 422).
THE FAMILY OF SAMUEL AND MARY "MOLLIE" LUDWICK ARNOLD
Elder Samuel Arnold was married to Mary "Mollie" Ludwick. She was possibly a sister of Jacob Ludwick who had married Samuel's half sister. Samuelo and Jacob were neighbors. Jacob lived a short distance eastward toward Junction and a couple yards south of Route 50.
Elder Samuel Arnold was a minister of great talent, and his prestige and power made him known throughout the Brotherhood. He served on Standing Committee on numerous occasions. It is said that he was a minister of great activity, traveling to distant places to carry the gospel, even as far as Tennessee. He was the first known minister to preach in the area of the Eglon congregation. He met an early, unfortunate when his team of young colts ran away with his buggy on March 29, 1831. He is buried in the Arnold Cemetery on top of the hill just east of the "Cheshire House."
The twelve children of Samuel and Mollie give a lesson in Dunker family connections and inter-congrgational relations of a hundred fifty years ago. Their children were . . ."
