Wow!. I'd love it.

I live in Kansas City. I fit in because I married into the family.

I have information on the Ardens that settled in Red Wing, also, you might like to know that James' children moved to the Dakota territory after James Died. You will not find a grave for John, a decorated Civil War Vet, buried without a stone in the pauper's section. Very sad. He is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Red Wing. John, a private in Company A, 5th Minnesota Infantry, was captured near the end of the war and was imprisoned in Sumter Prison, Andersonville, GA. That prison had a 40% fatality rate. So the fact that he survived and lived to an old age is testimony to his luck and hardiness.

If you know the Ardens were in MN, then you probably know that John bought a farm in the Red Wing area and know the
descendants of Simeon.
I thought I responded to Ray about a year ago, but don't see it in this tree. I believe he knows about George Arden's family. I believe I have information on George's family around here somewhere.
I tried to post the data I had, but ancestry won't let me format the message. So it would just look ugly. I'm not sure how you and other users manage to format messages. Perhaps you have to be a paid member to do that. I temporarily changed my settings if you want to email me. I'm curious how you know William came over. I've not ever found anything on him. I was hoping the Ships registers would provide that, but there are so many missing for that timeframe. I'm certain they came directly into Fall River in the 1830s-40s.
I look forward to seeing what data you have. If you'd like what I have I can either post it here. send it to you, or put it online for you to download.
