Notes:

William Arnold (24 June 1587 ? c. 1676) was one of the founding settlers of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and he and his sons were among the wealthiest people in the colony. He was raised and educated in England where he was the warden of St. Mary's, the parish church of Ilchester in southeastern Somerset. He immigrated to New England with family and associates in 1635. He initially settled in Hingham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but he soon relocated to the new settlement of Providence Plantation with Roger Williams. He was one of the 13 original proprietors of Providence, appearing on the deed signed by Roger Williams in 1638, and was one of the 12 founding members of the first Baptist church to be established in America.
After living in Providence for about two years, Arnold moved with his family and others to the north side of the Pawtuxet River forming a settlement commonly called Pawtuxet, later a part of Cranston, Rhode Island. He and his fellow settlers had serious disputes with their Warwick neighbors on the south side of the river and, as a result, separated themselves from the Providence government, putting themselves under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This separation from Providence lasted for 16 years, and Arnold was appointed to keep the peace as the head of the settlement. He died sometime during the great turmoil of King Philip's War in 1675 or 1676. His son Benedict succeeded Roger Williams as President of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in 1657, and he became the first Governor of the colony under the royal charter of 1663.

his son John the elder;
his son Thomas;
his son Richard the younger;
his son Henry the younger, under age 22 so born after 15 May 1571 (as there is no mention of Henry the elder, he is probably dead);

his unmarried daughter Anne, under age 18 so born after 15 May 1575;
his unmarried daughter Christian, under age 18 so born after 15 May 1575;
Rebecca, daughter of his son-in-law William Arnold, who is under age 20 and so born after 15 May 1573 (assuming the "in law" is correct, this means that he had a daughter, possibly deceased, who married a William Arnold);
