Son of William Armstrong and Margaret "Peggy" Jameson.

Loving Husband of Elizabeth "Betsey" McCutcheon.

Beloved Father to Joseph Armstrong, Rachel Armstrong (Mrs. Russell Newman Wallace), William Armstrong (wife, Cynthia A. Hunter), Elizabeth "Lizzie" Armstrong, James Armstrong, Margaret Ann Armstrong (Mrs. William Kerr Wallace), Mary E. "Nancy" Armstrong (Mrs. John P. Cook and later, Mrs. James Lindsay), Archibald Thomas Armstrong (wife, Martha Jane "Mattie" Firebaugh) and Virginia Armstrong.

Brother of Thomas Armstrong, William Jameson Armstrong (wife, Miss Kilpatrick and later, Ann Tribbett), Rachel McCrory Armstrong (Mrs. Robert Wardlaw McCutcheon) and John Armstrong.

Half-Brother of Margaret "Peggy" Jameson Armstrong (Mrs. James Berry....her Mother is Margaret "Peggy" Kirkpatrick Armstrong, William's 2nd wife.)

Grandson of Archibald Armstrong (1720-1800) and Margaret Armstrong (1728-1806) and of William Jameson, Jr. (1732-1797) and Rachel McCreary Armstrong (1742-1799).

Buried at the Old Lebanon Cemetery in Craigsville with wife, Elizabeth; Daughter Rachel Armstrong Wallace and her infant daughter Rachel Elizabeth Wallace, his youngest daughter, Virginia Armstrong and his Father, William Augustus Armstrong; also with his grandson Billie Kerr Wallace, Jr. and granddaughter Bettie Alice Wallace and their father William Kerr Wallace (husband of his daughter Margaret Ann).

His Legacy lives on through all of us.




**Note:
The Old Lebanon Cemetery had been overgrown with thick shrubbery and fallen trees and forgotten for many years; in the early 2000's some wonderful people, including Daley Craig, John Robert Wallace and other family members of those originally buried there, took on the task of restoring the cemetery and attempting to piece together what they could of the broken headstones. Many of the monuments had been partially buried, many others were beyond repair, and many had simply disintegrated. There are some stones remaining that either do not have any writing on them or the writing is so worn that it is no longer legible.
We are so grateful to the wonderful, caring people who attempted such a project....they not only restored a cemetery, they restored the memories of our loved ones for future generations. THANK YOU!
