In fact, the royal Welsh ancestry claimed for William Arnold in 1879 (NEHGR
33:432-38) has long since been demolished (see NEHGR 69[1915]:64-69; _Rhode
Island Historical Society Collections 14[1921]:33-49, 68-69). See an
authoritative, though brief, discussion of these articles in Robert Charles Anderson,
George F. Sanborn Jr., Melinde Lutz Sanborn, _The Great Migration:
Immigrants to New England 1634-1635, Volume I, A-B_ (Boston, 1999), 89-90. A more
