General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Armstrong

---

We now come to our immediate ancestor, Thomas Armstrong, who, in 1764, with his wife Isabella (surname not known) and at least two sons, William and David, came from Donegal County, Ireland and settled in Path Valley, Cumberland, now Franklin County, Pennsylvania.

Thomas Armstrong was evidently a descendent of Thomas Armstrong, the fifth Lord of Mangerton, who was the ancestor of the Armstrongs of the north of Ireland.
He had lived in Donegal County, which joins Fermanaugh County, from whence John and Edward Armstrong emigrated in 1736 and settled in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, very near to Path Valley.
We believe this, together with the similarity of family names running through the records, to be very conclusive circumstantial evidence. John Armstrong here mentioned was a major general in the Revolutionary War.
Thomas Armstrong died intestate about 1797, and William, his oldest son, and Joseph Armstrong settled the estate. (see records in Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pa.)
