Peter Arnold

Tenuously connected to Benedict Arnold. From NBC: "An amateur historian, Arnold thoroughly researched his family lineage and discovered a link to the general - although his own branch of the Arnolds split from Benedict's 150 years before the American was even born. And the more Arnold uncovered, the more he believed the infamous turncoat was misunderstood." and so PA erected the plaque to BA.
