Upon reaching the age of majority he joined his father in the mercantile partnership of William Arnold & Son. They ran fishing vessels, such as the sloop Polly and the schooner Roby, and were engaged in trade mostly in the Caribbean and South America (Surinam and French Guiana). They also conducted some coastwise trading as well. Stephen's brother, Perry Greene Arnold (Mss 74), spent his life as a mariner in command of trading vessels co-owned or owned by the firm of William Arnold & Son and/or Stephen Arnold. Perry became the master of the Commodore Perry in 1818 and after his death in 1819 Stephen put the sloop up for sale. Stephen was also the owner of the brig Lydia & Margaret. There were several different masters of this brig, one being his nephew William A. Greene, who was the son of his sister Lydia and her husband Dr. Jeremiah Greene. William corresponded frequently with Stephen on his voyages to Surinam. These letters end in 1822 with William's death in Surinam. Arnold was a member of the 1st Company of Militia of East Greenwich and received several appointments, the last being that of Brigade Major. He also purchased land in both Ohio (through the Ohio Company), and in Rhode Island. Upon his father William Arnold's death in 1816, Stephen served as executor of his estate. He continued as the surviving member of the partnership until his own death. He also took over the inn his father had operated in East Greenwich since 1763. He served as the executor of his brother Perry's estate and became the guardian for Perry's children. There is no record that he was ever married or had children of his own. Arnold died on August 26, 1824 and his estate was settled by Albert C. Greene and Christopher. W. Greene.
