  Narrative

believe Mary Ann is 2nd wife of William and this is the first -
"11 Dec, 1781 William Arnett and Moley Graves, dau. of Rice Graves. Sur.
David Arnett. Wit. William White. Married 27 Dec. by Rev. William Douglas."
The "Marion" of William's will could be "Mary Ann" and not a 3rd wife.

All of Lydia's siblings born in Louisa Co, VA. Some place Lydia with different mother "Marion" but it seems like this must be Mary Ann McGehee since they married before she was born and Granville was born after Lydia.

From 1812 Pension Applications, another probably related couple - "Archibald D Arnett" married "Frances L Trice" Jun 5 1828 in Louisa Co, VA, and they stayed in Louisa Co, VA (1878)
