Immigrant William Arnold
William Arnold arrived in Hingham, Massachusetts in 1635, along with fellow passenger, Roger Williams, both of whom were among the original proprietors of Providence Plantation in 1636. It has been stated that 120 acres of his original land grant are still held by a descendant. He was said to be the wealthiest man in the state. He became Commissioner and deputy, as well as Governor of the colony for ten years.
