Person:Anna Arnold (12)

Anna never married. She is present with the family in all the extant censuses (1851-1911). She appears to have never left Markham Township for any great period of time. The family moved when she was 10--probably from Buttonville to Locust Hill, a distance of less than 10 miles.
