CIVIL WAR VETERAN
Porter Armstrong was born May 23, 1843 in Genesee County, New York to Henry and Susan Bristol Armstrong.
MILITARY RECORD:
A resident of Cortland, Illinois, he enlisted as a Private on 28 Dec 1861 and mustered into Company G, 58th Illinois Infantry. He re-enlisted on 01 Jan 1864 at Paducah, Kentucky and transferred to Co. B. He was mustered out of service on 01 Apr 1866.
He applied for a pension on 08 Dec 1890 from Montana and came to Washington in 1909. In 1912 he was living in Charleston. He was admitted to the Veterans Home at Retsil on 23 Mar 1920 and died there on 09 Apr 1920.
"A special thanks to Don Vatne, Kitsap County Civil War Historian, for his research on this veteran."
Additional information submitted:
Porter's mother was Susan Bristol Armstrong and she died inMarch of 1860. Porter is a younger brother of my gr gr grandmother Louisa Armstrong Harned. You can find the Armstrong family on the 1850 census living in NY with Porter being 5 and you will see where Lucy is a sister. I have removed the miss information that was put on sometime before me taking over management saying Lucy was his mother. When someone enters wrong info it can cause big problems if they are using it for Lineal Applications. I have done a DAR Supplement on Susan Bristol Armstrong's grandfather . I also did a supplement with the great info about Porter that someone entered being in the Civil War. I belong to the NSDU through a Chapter in OK and have many Civil War soldiers in my family all on the Union side because all of my family came down from the North eastern states. Several of the Civil War Societies will let you use the siblings of your direct relation now because there are less of the actual people as in the older wars and groups. JMR
