Note: There is no burial record for William, but he would have been buried on his family's property in Pawtuxet, just prior to the family moving to Newport. When Fred Arnold pieced together a family account (later incorporated in E. S. Arnold's "Arnold Memorial"), he surmised that Christian Arnold, and later her husband William Arnold, were buried in the family plot where little William, their grandson, had been buried.
William was the infant son of (later Governor) Benedict Arnold and Damaris Westcott. William's birth and death are recorded in the Arnold family record as follows: "Our ffourth Sonne was borne the 21d. Oct.r in the year 1651 & we named him William, Intending he should beare the name of his grandfather Arnold: but god has pleased in his great Wisdom to take him away. Oct.o 23.o 1651 he lived but a day &. 3 quarters of a day in much weakn's & great Stoping." (NEHGR 33:429)
