"According to research provided me from England, it is proven that David Arnot/Arnett who arrived on the ship, Elizabeth and Anne, was from Angus in Scotland. He was captured at the Battle of Preston in November 1715 and banished to Virginia in 1716. David Arnot was a soldier in Captain Douglas' Company and previously a labourer. It appears that he was the son of Robert Arnot and Agnes Carr. He may have been living in or around Oathlaw Parish in Angus."
