John Smith Arnold was descended from slave owners in both his mother's and father's families and was the son of a slave owner. Before the Civil War he lived in Garrard County, Kentucky. During the war he and his father's family lived in Missouri, possibly in both Ray and Clay counties.
He took his young family from Graford, Palo Pinto County, Texas (near Mineral Wells) to Erin Springs, Indian Territory (near what is now Lindsay, Garvin County, Oklahoma). A ranch manager, John died from pneumonia during a cattle drive. His widow Etta and five young children were returned to the Oran, Palo Pinto County, Texas area by one of the children's uncles, probably their "Uncle Looney" Tipton. Etta and her sister Elizabeth Linnie "Bessie" Rucker Tipton with husband James Luna Tipton moved with their children to Seymour, Knox County, Texas, where they lived the rest of their lives.
