[7686] George is son of George Arnold (Sr) who was a weaver in Greenwich Twp., Berks Co., PA with 100 acres in 1780. George (Sr) was a Lutheran Elder at New Bethel Zion Church, 1775-86. His wife, Barbara, is listed there as a widow in Nov., 1791. George (Jr) and Catherine continued in the area, in Albany Twp., until about 1793, then moving to a farm in that part of Toboyne Twp., Perry Co., which became Madison Twp. in 1836. They were life-long Lutherans. George Arnold (Sr.) is perhaps he (aka Johann George Arnold) who arrived in Philadelphia in Oct 1738 on the Ship Elizabeth from Rotterdam -- see "Pennsylvania German Pioneers...," Ralph Beaver Strassburger (Camden, ME: Picton Press, 1992), I:243-245 - or he may be the "Georg Arnold" who arrived in Philadelphia in Oct 1737 on the Ship Billinder Townsend from Amsterdam (ibid, I:185-187). Ancestry.com offers: "Arnold Name Meaning - English and German: from a very widely used personal name of Germanic origin, composed of the elements arn eagle + wald rule. In addition, it has probably absorbed various European cognates and their derivatives (for the forms, see Hanks and Hodges 1988). English: habitational name from either of the two places called Arnold (see Arnall)."

[2692] Matilda "was starved to death in a dungeon with her eldest son" {per report in "Some Early English Pedigrees," Vernon M. Norr (Arlington, VA, typescript, 1968, p. 34, used at Library of Congress, 7/89)} Doug Thompson (see http://freespace.virgin.net/doug.thompson/BraoseWeb/index1.htm) posted on RootsWeb.com 4 Dec 1999: "The name 'Lady of La Haie' for Maud refers to her connections with the town of Hay on Wye rather than the family of La Haie. There is a full discussion of the St Valery family in The Genealogist (NS) vol 30 pp1 - 17. It is indicated there that Matilda is sister to Bernard (IV) de St V. and Walter (II) de St V., all of them children of Reginald (II) de St V. (Though some say she may be daughter of Bernard rather than sister.) There's an explanation here for the introduction of the name Reginald into the Braose family (her son)."
