General Notes: Husband - John Armstrong
On taking up his abode in Allegheny township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, he purchased two farms of one hundred and twenty and one hundred and twenty-three acres, respectively. The land was in its primitive state, but by hard work and a thorough knowledge of the principles of agriculture he rendered it valuable and productive. [HWC 1906 ii, 526]
He emigrated to the New World before his father came, crossing the ocean in 1826 and two years later, in 1828, settling in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. There he purchased a farm in Allegheny township which he paid for with his earnings as a contractor for excavations on the old Pennsylvania canal. He was a man of fair education for his day and appreciated the advantages of schools, and he gave all his children good educational opportunities. He was a strict member of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and was bitterly opposed to human servitude, so much so that he would not associate with either of the great political parties of his day because slavery was tolerated and sanctioned in some measure by both. He was very well known in his section of the country. A few years before his death he removed to Leechburg, Armstrong County, where he died at the age of seventy-six years. [HAC 1914, 497]
