| 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? |
