Personal Life
Arpiucki moved into the area of Big Cypress Swamp after the Third Seminole War of 1855-1858. His band included an estimated 17 warriors and a large number of women and children. He was less effective as a war leader in the Third Seminole War because of advanced age and possible senility.
Ar-pi-uck-i and his wife, Itee (half Choctaw, half Irish, born ca. 1790), had at least one daughter, Rebecca Jones. Rebecca was born in Tennessee, on January 1, 1817 and died on January 21, 1893 in Shelby County, Texas.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I esteem it the happiness of this country that its settlers, whilst they were exploring their granted and natural rights and determining the power of the magistrate, were united by personal affection. Members of a church before whose searching covenant all rank was abolished, they stood in awe of each other, as religious men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Kittering’s brain. What we will he think when he resumes life in that body? Will he thank us for giving him a new lease on life? Or will he object to finding his ego living in that human junk heap?”
—W. Scott Darling, and Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Frankenstein (Sir Cedric Hardwicke)
