Arnn Line:
Isaac Arnn was probably the youngest son of Abraham Arnn, Sr. He first married Polly Walker, daughter of Elisha and Judy Walker, on 7 Feb 1797. The only known child of this marriage was Susan Arnn who married Preston Edds on 12 Dec 1818 and moved to Saline, AR. Isaac's second marriage was to Elizabeth Fuller, daughter of Zachariah and Letty Fuller, on 20 Dec 1802. Theirs was not a happy marriage. Records show that Isaac was brought into court and jailed a number of times. Most often, he was charged with failing to 'keep the peace and maintain good behavior towards all citizens and especially his wife, Elizabeth'. Isaac served as a 2nd Lieutenant in a company of Artillery of the 1st Regiment in the state militia. The administrator for Isaac's estate was qualified on 19 Aug 1844. He must have died shortly before this date in his late sixties.

Isaac, Jr. lived less than 3 years after their marriage and died before his son, Isaac Clay, was born on 3 Dec 1844. Family history states that Isaac, Jr. made two requests of his wife, Mary, while on his death bed. One was that she never remarry and the other was that she make sure that their surname always be correctly spelled as Arnn. Most of their neighbors mispronounced their name as Aaron and spelled it that way. She kept both promises and lived as a widow for almost 64 years.
