There is quite a lot of information on Rachel Cerene McKelvy Arnold is the Hesterly-McKelvy family book by Fred Looney. A copy

is in the Nevada County Library and the Ouachita County Library and I have a copy. This book shows Rachel Cerene and Andrew Jackson

Arnold with 8 children. It shows Luther Monroe and Rebecca Arnold with 9 children. It says Andrew Jackson Arnold is buried in a cemetery

near Camden, Arkansas. Do you happen to know which one? Rachel is buried at Ebenezer Cemetery in Nevada County.

You may contact me direct if you want to discuss this further.

Mary Arnold is Andrew J. Arnold's 2nd and final wife. She was born a Singleton, married in Hampton young, but divorced, and married again to John Edward Varley Nussey. They bore Albert Nussey and Eddie V. Nussey (female) in 1882 and 1885 respectively. Andrew J. is buried with Mary near Camden in a small private cemetery only about 2 miles north of town off Hwy. 24.

Can you tell me anything about John Edward Varley Nussey or how he died?

He is commemorated in my local cemetery in Leeds, Yorkshire, England and I wondered how he came to live and die in Camden.

Thanks!
