General Notes: Husband - [Unk] Armstrong


This represents one of the six sons of Hopestill Armstrong, but which one cannot be definitely shown.

Although very young, he served in the War of the Revolution, as did two of his brothers. After the Wyoming massacre he was sent north with a reconnoitering party, and was so pleased with the country around Seneca Lake, New York, that after peace was restored he made permanent settlement there. He was a farmer, married and both he and wife lived to advanced ages, members of the Presbyterian church.
