James Newell Arnold (August 3, 1844 – September 18, 1927) was a collector and publisher of genealogical and historical records of the state of Rhode Island. His major achievement was the publication of the 21-volume set entitled The Vital Record of Rhode Island (1636-1850).

The death penalty was reintroduced in 1872, but it was never carried out before being abolished again in 1984. Of all the states, Rhode Island has had the longest period with no executions, none having taken place since 1845. Rhode Island performed 53 executions from 1670 to 13 February 1845, but only eight took place after statehood.
The cemetery was founded in 1677 or possibly earlier. In the Newport land records, a deed was recorded on 28 Feb 1677 for a certain parcel of land, 30 feet square, sold by Nathaniel Dickens to Mordecai Campannall and Moses Packechoe for a burial-place for the Jews of Newport, and this purchase may have been an addition to a cemetery that was already in existence as of that date.
