Wikipedia has an extensive amount of info on William Arnold.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Arnold_(settler)#Early_life
William Arnold (24 June 1587 ? c. 1676) was one of the founding settlers of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and with his sons was among the wealthiest people in the colony. He was raised and educated in England where he was the warden of St. Mary's, the parish church of Ilchester in southeastern Somerset. In 1635, along with family and associates, he immigrated to New England, where he initially settled in Hingham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but soon relocated to the new settlement of Providence with Roger Williams. He was one of the 13 original proprietors of Providence, appearing on the deed signed by Roger Williams in 1638, and was one of the twelve founding members of the first Baptist church to be established in America.

After living in Providence for about two years, Arnold moved with his family and other relatives and associates to the north side of the Pawtuxet River forming a settlement commonly called Pawtuxet, later a part of Cranston, Rhode Island. He and his fellow settlers had serious disputes with their Warwick neighbors on the south side of the river and as a result separated themselves from the Providence government, putting themselves under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This separation from Providence lasted for 16 years, and as the head of the settlement, Arnold was appointed as the keeper of the peace. He died sometime during the great turmoil of King Philip's War in 1675 or 1676.

Highly unusual for a 17th-century American settler, Arnold began a family record based on entries from the local
parish registers in England and brought this with him to New England; this family record would eventually span more than 200 years and six generations. Nearly 300 years after his birth, a fabricated pedigree for Arnold was published, claiming his descent from 12th-century kings living in Wales. Three and a half decades later, in 1915, his correct ancestry was published, but not before the misinformation had been printed in an important source for Rhode Island genealogy.

Other-Begin:
His mother died in 1596 shortly after child birth, when Arnold was eight years old, and he was thereafter largely raised and influenced by his sister Joanne who was ten years older than he.[7] Though Joanne eventually married William Hopkins of Yeovilton and died at an early age in England, two of her children, Frances (Hopkins) Man and Thomas Hopkins, immigrated to New England with their Uncle William Arnold.

Dungan that completely dissociates William Dungan of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London, father of the immigrants and first husband of Mrs. Frances Latham Dungan Clarke Vaughan of Newport, R.I., from Judge Thomas Dungan of Lincoln's Inn, and thus disproves the noble ancestry for the Dungan siblings first proposed by Alfred Rudolph Justice in The Ancestry of Jeremy Clarke of Rhode Island and Dungan Genealogy, Philadelphia, 1922, and further developed and corrected by Robert Joseph Curfman in Forebears 15 (1972):103-106 and The Colonial Genealogist 8 (1977):200-212."[7]

Frances Latham (Dungan Clarke Vaughn) is known as the "Mother of Governors". Her third husband was the Reverent William Vaughn. She had four children by her first husband; from the descendants of these children are many distinquished statesmen.

There are seven children born of her second marriage, and these too have given many governors to the country. Each one of Frances Latham Clarke's sons served his country, or church, with public service, and each daughter married men who did the same. "She was undoubtedly a very attractive woman, her three marriages would indicate. One can only imagine the gathering of distinquished men and women in the "Common Burial Ground" of Newport when Frances Vaughn, recently widowed for the third time was laid in her grave.

There was her eldest Clarke son, then governor, her daughter Mary, with her husband, then Deputy-Governor John Cranston and later governor; and their son Samuel, who before the century closed would also be governor; her daughter Sarah, sometime the wife of Governor Caleb Carr; Barbara with her husband, James Baker, to be chosen the next year as deputy governor; Frances and her husband, Major Randall Holden, ancestors of several of Rhode Island's governors and one of Washington: Weston Clarke, then attorney-general; James, Latham, and Jeremiah Clarke, with their sons and daughters, and Rev. Thomas Dungan, who perhaps was the one to say the last sacred words over his mother's grave "Mother of Governors"

Her father was Sargeant Falconer Lewis Latham to King Charles I.

Children not listed below: John Dungan (died young), William Dungan, Frances Dungan Holden, Elizabeth Dungan (died young), Walter Clarke, Latham Clarke and Jeremiah Clarke
Spouses: Married four times
1st Lord Weston
2nd William Dungan

Note:
The marriage between Frances Latham and Lord Weston has been disproved.

"Late 19th century genealogist John Osborne Austin proposed that Frances had first been married to a "Lord Weston" as a teenager, but strong evidence against this was presented by New Haven genealogist Louise Tracy in 1908
