- Parents or siblings for REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER, James ARROWSMITH, has never been confirmed by researchers, although there's been much speculation.
Some have listed a Thomas ARROWSMITH, born abt. 1733, as a possible sibling. But he is the only son named in the will of his parents, Richard and Mary (Massey/Perine) Arrowsmith, and is quite a bit older. Thomas migrated to Kentucky, in the early 1800's.
