 Arnold 's mother , Alice Gully , was the daughter of John Gully ( c . 1508 – 1559 ) and his wife Alice ( c . 1510 – 1583 ) of Northover . 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 . 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 .
