ISAAC ARNOLD II
Isaac Arnold II was the son of Isaac Arnold I and Margaret Goffe. He was born in Richmond County, Virginia in 1708 and married Sarah ________ in 1730. He is mentioned after his marriage in King George County, Virginia, in 1732 when his father, Isaac Arnold I tried to create an entail in the name of James Arnold, first son of Isaac II. He is mentioned again in his father's will in connection with a legacy from his grandfather, Thomas Goffe. After his father's death in 1758 Isaac Arnold II bought land in Spotsylvania County, and in 1763 he moved there to live with his children. His will is recorded in Spotsylvania County in 1770. He mentions his wife, Sarah (maiden name unknown), his daughter Sarah, wife of John Stewart II, and his two grandsons, Charles and John Stewart III and his son, George Arnold, dividing his estate among these heirs. His will is brief and was evidently written on his deathbed and signed July 24, 1770.
Following is the will:
"I, Isaac Arnold of Berkeley Parish, Spotsylvania County, Virginia give
daughter Sarah Steward 150 acres on north side of main road where son-in-
law John Stewart lives in Spotsylvania County and one negro named York,
together with all stock of every kind and what cash I now have in the
house (better than 7 lbs.) The stock, household furniture and land I give
to her and her heirs of her body lawfully begot and after death of said
Sarah and my son-in-law John Steward, I give and bequeath to my grandson
John Stewart his heirs forever.
Item - To my son George remaining part of land south of main road 250
acres whereon I now live in Spotsylvania County, 2 negroes Charles and
Toby with estate of every kind in King George County, and care of mother
Sarah, to have sufficient maintenance from estate."
George Arnold, John Stewart II and Henry Pendleton were bonded for
1000 pounds to make inventory of Isaac Arnold's estate on October 18, 1770.
It was after Isaac II's death that the entail placed on the King George
County land in the name of James Arnold was broken through consent of James
Arnold, his mother, Sarah, and his brother, George Arnold

Notes on Known Children
The children of Isaac Arnold II and Sarah were in middle age during the Revolution and during that time remained on their various home places or served as best they could. This must have been hard on them and their families at times with the British Red Coats foraging through that section. These children remained where they had settled in Eastern Virginia and left it to their children to start the real migration.
