General Notes: Husband - William Sample Armor


He attended the district schools in Hanover Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, more or less regularly until he was eighteen years of age, only during the winter seasons, however, and then attended a select school at Murdocksville for a time. His business was farming and his farm was an ancestral one, being a part of the 800 acres which belonged to the founder of the Armor family in America. This was Thomas Armor, who was born in Scotland and when he came to Washington County entered 400 acres for himself from the government and 400 more for a brother. The latter died and that 400 acres was also inherited by the heirs of Thomas Armor. Into the twentieth century they still had the old deed and members of the family had always owned the land. Mr. Armor was a Democrat. On several occasions he consented to serve as school director and he was also judge of elections and road superintendent. He was a Presbyterian in religion.
