Thomas Warren Letts was the son of Arvilla (Brown) Letts Hewitt. Arvilla had a
twin sister named Arilla. I'm thinking these two girls were probably named for
Thomas's mother and her twin sister.

To make things even more confusing-- ARRILLA was married to John Hewitt. When
she died in 1870, John Hewitt remarried to her sister ARVILLA. Make's your
head spin..... :-)
