    Notes:

    British Colonial Governor. After coming with his father to New England, in 1637, in Rhode Island, he signed a "compact as one of thirteen to any agreements made by the masters of families." He mastered the native languages and became a negotiator with the Indians in 1645. In 1653 he moved to Newport and was elected Assistant. In 1657 he was one of the purchasers of the island of Conanicut. On May 19,1657, after Roger Williams retired from the office of President of the Colony, he was elected to that office. In 1660 he was elected Assistant again. On May 22, 1663, he was elected as the first Governor of Rhode Island. He was re-elected in 1664, 1669, 1677 and 1678, and helped bring about the union of the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations into one colony.

    " After accompanying his parents to Hingham, MA and then to Providence, RI, where he remained until November 1651 or 1653, Benedict removed to Newport, RI. He is said to have been one of the wealthiest men in the colony, as well as one of its most eminent citizens. He owned large tracts of land in and around Newport, also owned the southern part of the large island in Narragansett Bay(Quonaniquot) Canonicut, now forming the town of Jamestown and 1/7 part of Pettiquanscut purchase, now South Kingstown, RI. In 1645, having acquired a knowledge of the Indian language, he was employed by the colony as its interpreter in its negotiations with the Indian tribes. In 1670, he was chosen by the General Assembly as the agent of the colony to go to England, to protest its rights under the Charter against the claims of Connecticut. In 1654 and 1660, he was chosen one of the Governor's Assistants. After serving as Governor from 1663 to 1678, he died in that office. Nearly 1,000 persons were present at his funeral. The original seal of Gov. Arnold, with a mahogany handle, gearing the letters B.A. and an anchor, is now in the archives of the R.I. Historical Society. The official chair he occupied when, in 1663, he received the Royal Charter from England, is in possession of the Redwood Library at Newport."
