Philip H. Arnett, born Hendricks, August 13, 1853, was a representative of a pioneer family of Magoffin county of Scotch-Irish descent. The American progenitors of the family were Reuben Arnett, great-great grandfather of our subject, and his four brothers, who settled in Pennsylvania prior to the Revolutionary war. Reuben Arnett, Jr. left the state of Virginia to cast his lot with the early settlers of Kentucky, and his son, Reuben Arnett, here devoted his attention to agricultural pursuites throughout his career.
Philip H. Arnett, son of Reuben Arnett and father of Charles D. Arnett, was active as a farmer, stock raiser and horse trader in Magoffin county and the state of Georgia for many years, but lived retired for a number of years previous to his death, on November 1, 1935."

Clay married a [Nicki] Howard; Floyd a Rose [and 2nd a Reed], Charles D. a [Amanda] Manns; South a Rose, and Samuel a Henry. Philip Arnett's sons deserve wonderful encomiums and great consideration, for the unexampled progress they have made by their own effort and perseverance, especially Clay, Floyd and Charley, when we come to think of the "Old-Log-Cabin-In-The-Lane
