William and Elizabeth Arrowood's twelve children were: Anderson D., Melvina, Nancy, William Hillman (Colonel), twins Melinda and Wyley, George Washington, Lydia, Louisa, McDaniel, James and Elizabeth. Many of their children's descendants still live in the Gatesville area. Opal Anderson and Ima Fellars of Mound are grandchildren of Lydia, and Annelle Bruce is a great-grandchild. Wilma Spence and Lloyd Ivy of Gatesville are grandchildren of George W., and the Honeycutts are descendants of Melinda. 1
A wagon train composed of the Wilkey, Carson, Kerby, Arrowood, and Rogers families, and probably other families left North Carolina in the spring of 1849 bound for California in the "Gold Rush". William D. Arrowood, his wife, Elizabeth Anderson (full blood Cherokee Indian) was in this group. Their oldest son, Anderson D. Arrowood, and his wife, Dicey Carson, remained in Cherokee County, North Carolina near Shooting Creek. There were nine other children with them when they left, and a son was born in Union County, Georgia on the way west. 1
William Arrowood opened a blacksmith shop and on July 19, 1854 was murdered by a drunken customer in an argument. This was at Donahue Creek in what is now Coryell County and left his wife with an infant daughter born there in June, 1854 as well as the other ten children.
