Question: Does Benedict Arnold have any living descendants!? Do they still have a stigma attached to them!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Benedict put the Dick in Benedict -- - - -- he was a prolific sort as were just about every male member of his family and there are many Arnolds to this day who can claim to be descended from one of the many branches of the family!. The Revolutionary War has been over long enough for there to be no stigma attached if anything an odd matter of pride, a certain notoriety!.!.

"""When it comes to talking about Benedict Arnold, Mr!. Stanley might hold a world record!. For the past half century, he has studied Arnold, discoursed about him, even acted as him for a motion picture made in connection with the 325th anniversary of Norwich in 1964!.

Mr!. Stanley has also visited descendants of Arnold in England!. He has been to Arnold's final resting place near London!. He commissioned a painter to do portraits of Arnold from descriptions of him, because all known paintings of him were destroyed in the rage after he joined the British!. Mr!. Stanley talks about Arnold in schools, and anywhere else, when invited!. """
