From Pennsylvania to Tennessee
My branch of the Arneys goes like this:
Jacob Arney, who died in Lincoln County, NC in 1784.
Peter Arney born 1772 (Tryon County, NC) died 1845
(Overton County, TN)
Matthew Arney, Sr. born 1818 (Overton County, TN) died
in 1902.
William Ervin Arney born 1841 died 1887
Opha Jouett Arney born 1875 died 1956
Stanley Goble Arney born 1909 died 1979
Jerry Kenneth Arney, Sr. born 1938 died 1998
Stanley Allen Arney born 1961
Jacob Arney lived in York County, Pennsylvania until 1767.
Many of Peter's siblings were born there. In 1767, Jacob
Arney moved his family to North Carolina, including Peter's
17 year old brother, Christian. Ironically, 17 years later
Jacob Arney would die in Lincoln County, NC (1784).
Though it seems hard to understand this route was not
uncommon back in those days. Many people followed this
same path, from Pennsylvania to North Carolina to Virginia
to Tennessee. Especially since land wise they were all in
close proximity to each other and land grants were given in
one state for another state.
The question that we desire to answer is: Where did Jacob
come from?
