From Bond’s Watertown Genealogies, entry on Arnold families:30
    John Arnold, admitted freemand May 6, 1635.
    Thomas Arnold, admitted freeman May 13, 1640.
    John Arnold, admitted freeman May 10, 1643.
    Thomas Arnold, aged 30, came to America in the Plain Joan May, 1635. [May have been a different Thomas Arnold.]
    Thomas Arnold married Phebe, daughter of George Parkliurst, Sen., and had 1. Ichabod, b. Mar. 1, 1640-1; 2. Richard, b. Mar. 22. 1642-3; 3. John, b. Feb. I9, 1647-8; 4. Ebenezer, b. June 17, 1651.
    In Oct., 1651, he was fined 20s. by the Court, for offence against the law concerning baptism. Ap. 2, 1654, he was lined 5l. for neglecting public worship 20 days. Ap. 2, 1655, he was lined 10l., for neglecting public worship 40 days, and his land was levied on to pay it. Mar. 30. 1655, he sold to “my brotlier-in-law, George Parkhurst, of Watertown,” the dividend of 30 acres, which '”I bought,” Dec. 20, 1648, of “our father, George Parkhust, and his wile Susanna.” Oct. 17. 1661, he, then a planter of Providence, sold lind in Watertown to John Whitney; and, Oct., 20, 1662, he and wife Phebe, of Providence, sold, to John Wincoll, their house, barn, &c., and 16 acres of land, a part of which hehad purchased of Thomas Straight, and the other part granted to him. He was probably a Baptist.

From Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary:25
Thomas, of Watertown, was made freeman of Massachusetts colony 13 May 1640. After being fined once for neglecting the law of baptism and twice for neglect of public worship, with increasing weight, and his daughter Susanna having married John Farnum of Boston, who favored the Baptist views of ordinances, he was driven to Providence, and lived in that part now Smithfield.

There’s a new book on this family by Richard H. Benson: The Arnolds of Smithfield, Rhode Island, Newbury Press, 2008.

Kay Haden’s report on the Descendants of William Arnold at
    http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~katy/arnold/
thoroughly documents Thomas’ many activities in Watertown. Bond mentioned a few of them. She follows Watertown activities by Thomas’s records in Providence.

Will: Thomas died in 1674 leaving no will, having a large estate of lands, (said to have been 20,000 acres), goods, and cattle disposed of only by his mouth. On June 29 1683, it was agreed by the widow, Phoebe, and Richard, (their eldest son), Thomas, John, Eleazer, also sons of the deceased and Elizabeth Comstock, his daughter, that there should be five instruments of covenant prepared and signed by all of them, Samuel Comstock, signing as husband of Elizabeth, that "whereas the said deceased Thomas Arnold did by word of mouth leave his mind with his wife and children how they should divide his estate of lands, goods and cattle among them after his decease, the aforementioned, all and every one of them do hereby endeavor to propagate and perform to the best of their abilities, &c.
