WV Bur: Armstrong - Hiner Cemetery, Moyers, WV m. 6/7/1860 - Elizabeth Ann Bodkin b. 7/1/1840 - Sugar Grove WV (near Palo Alto) d. 12/9/1909 - Mt. Solon, VA Bur: Armstrong-Hiner Cemetery, Moyers, WV Parents: James and Sarah (Hoover) Bodkin Eli Armstrong was born May 18, 1835, the third child of Samuel and Mary (Taylor) Armstrong. On June 7, 1860, he married Elizabeth Ann Bodkin. Marriage records show that Eli was 25 years old and Elizabeth Ann was 19 when they were marriede Rev. George Wine. Elizabeth Ann was born near Palo Alto, July 1, 1840, the daughter of James and Sarah (Hoover) Bodkin. Eli was known as a strong hard working man and lived in a hollow on the east slope of the Bullpasture Mountain in Pendleton County, the drainage flowing into the South Fork of the Potomac, north of Sugar Grove, W.Va. His home was approximately 2 miles southeast of the farm of his son, J. Riley, which is on the east slope of Thorn Mountain, on the Doe Hill-Moyers road. The road to the homeplace runs east at the Virginia- West Virginia state line, off the Doe Hill - Moyers Road. I'm told all that remains of the house are some foundation stones. Ièy2 CONC e. Note by JHA-- (In the mid-1900's this farm was owned by my father, Dice S. Armstrong. Known as 'the Lamb Place' it is now in the Paul Bennett family. JHA 2001) In the obituary of his son, Jacob Riley, it says Eli served as a Confederate Soldier during the Civil War. I have not been able to locate his name on any muster rolls. Dice Armstrong told me his father told him that Eli worked in the Saltr Mines during the war making gun powder for the Army of the South. Eli died of pneumonia at the age of 48, on March 8, 1883 leaving Elizabeth Ann to raise their younger children alone and with an iron hand. I am told that in her later years, Elizabeth Ann had somewhat of a bad temper, walked with a cane ad been seen striking out with it when she got angry. If someone tried to walk away before she had had her say, she would use the cane as a hook to hold them until she had said her piece. She made her home with her daughter, Sarah, near Churchville, Virginia before her death, December 19, 1909. Eli and Elizabeth Ann (Bodkin) Armstrong are buried in the ArmstrongHiner Cemetery, on the old Hiner farm, near Moyers, Pendleton County, West Virginia.

Eye. Mr. Eye lists 4 children for George and Margaret (Armstrong) Crummett. The Todd information was given to me by a family member. Margaret (Armstrong) Crummett was already married when mentioned in her fathers will, dated June 9 1820. She was to receive ten dollars to be raised out of John's estate.

This information on James Armstrong was taken from Morton's History of Highland County Virginia and History of Pendleton County West Virginia". Morton says James may have moved to West Virginia. James was mentioned in his fathers will. "....The Mowry Place as it is known I will to my two sons James and George Armstrong and their heirs forever but if either of them should die without any lawful heirs then his division of land to fall to the place it was taken from....." The will was dated June 9, 1820 and recorded in 1821, at that time James was married to Elizabeth Hiner. If James did go to W. Va., it was after 1821 and I am told his name appears on the 1840 census records of IN, but I haven't checked that yet. (From the records of Janice Nicholas.) | Armstrong, James (I3739)

Information from Kent Bodkin says he married Mary Punt on 1/9/1805. William nor his heirs were mentioned in his fathers will which was dated 6/9/1820. Was he dead by that time? Or was he just removed from the family? Did he have any heirs. | Armstrong, William Abel (I3734)

ARMSTRONG b. 1799 Doe Hill, Highland Co.VA d. 10/8/1874 -Lewis Co., WV Bur: Wilson Cemetery, Ireland, Lewis Co. WV m. 2/7/1822 Sarah H. Pullin b. 10/7/1803 d. 4/29/1881 Bur: Wilson Cemetery,Ireland, Lewis Co. WV Parents: Samuel & Nancy (Henry) Pullin The information I have on Thomas B. Armstrong and his descendants has been taken from Morton's "History of Highland County Virginia" and "History of Pendleton County West Virginia", "The West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia", "The History of Upshur County West Virginia", by W. B. Cutright, and from correspondence with family members. Thomas was mentioned in his fathers will that was date June 9th 1820. The home plantation was to go to Thomas and his brother Samuel upon the death of, or remarriage of their mother, Agnes. Thomas was also to receive "... the balance of my moveable (estate) if there should be any left..." after every thing else was paid out and divided. Thomas and Sarah had five children, three sons and two daughters. George, born 4/28/1824; John D., born 8/23/1828; Elizabeth, born 12/19/1836; references to a Margaret, who was born about 1840 and another child (a son) who died at an early age. In 1835, Thomas moved his family to Lewis County, (then) Virginia, and was among the first families to settle near Ireland, (now) Lewis Co., West Virginia. In July 1986, I found the grave site Thomas B. and Sarah (Pullin) Armstrong. I had been told descendants of Thomas were buried at the Wilson Cemetery, about a mile south of Ireland, West Virginia. I was suprised to find that Thomas and Sarah were also buried there. The dates on the stone marked "Sarah H. Armstrong wife of Thomas B.", coincided with what I had in my notes. One very old stone had sunk into the ground and all that could be read was the name "Armstrong" across its top. After pulling the stone out of the hole and cleaning it off, it read; "Armstrong Thomas B. died in his 75th year October 8, 1874". THE CHILDREN OF THOMAS B.

They replied that a search was made but requested file was not found and I should try the Virginia State Library and Archives, Richmond VA. NOTE: Copied from West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia. Volumn 5, Page 220 George Armstrong deceased was born April 28, 1824. He died in Andersonville prison, May 3, 1864. He was a son of Thomas B. and Sarah H. (Pullin) Armstrong, and he married Sarah F., daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Propst) Pullin. Her parents are still honored residents in Highland County, Virginia and she was born in that county, January 8, 1833. Their marriage was solemnized in Highland County, January 29, 1856 and in the same year they made their home in Lewis County. Of their union was born: Sarah M., February 29, 1858, and Nancy M., May 12, 1862. The first named is married to Elias H. Cunningham, and lives in Braxton County, West Virginia, their marriage occurring May 16, 1877, and the younger daughter is living at home. George Armstrong entered the Federal service as a member of the State Militia and was in actual service every time he was called upon. He was made prisoner while in the line of duty, at Centerville, Upshur County, West Virginia, (now Rock Cave) on September 12, 1863, and taken to Belle Isle, thence to Andersonville, where he died on the date above recorded. It is fifteen years since his widow first applied for the pension to which she is entitled, but an ungrateful government has so far neglected her just claim. The homestead farm which she now owns and lives on has 200 acres of good farming land. Her postoffice address is Ireland, Lewis County, West Virginia. (This sketch was written in the early 1890's) NOTE: "The History of Upshur County, West Virginia", by W. B. Cutright, 1907, page 313, states that George left a widow and three children. The above sketch gives only two. During the Civil War, 70 men were captured at Centerville, (now Rock Cave, West Virginia). Of the 70, 7 escaped, 25 were paroled, and 38 died in various southern prisons, leaving behind 27 widows and 83 fatherless children. Besides George Armstrong, son of Thomas B., JOHN LINE of the ARMSTRONG FAMILY, 3 descendants of the WILLIAM ARMSTRONG LINE (SEE CHAPTER 7) were amoung the captured. John W. Armstrong, his son Grandville B. Armstrong and George M. Douglas. George Douglas was the son of John and Elizabeth (Armstrong) Douglas, the grandson of William and Elizabeth (Ervine) Armstrong, and John W. Armstrong was the son of John T. and Mary (Wilson) Armstrong, grandson of William and Elizabeth (Ervine) Armstrong. All three died in Andersonville Prison. John died 8/10/1864 and Grandville on 6/14/1864, George Douglas died 3/27/1864. In May 1988, while visiting The National Historical Site of Andersonville Civil War Prison and National Cemetery at Andersonville, Ga., I found death records and grave sites of 3 Armstrong descendants. At that time I didn't know about George Douglas, but records show: Sgt. George Armstrong, Co. C, 8th Va. Militia, Hospital case died 5/4/1864 of Diarrhea. Grave # 876. (above sketch gives death date as 5/3/1864). Pvt. G. B. Armstrong, Co. C, 8th Va. Militia, died 6/14/1864 of Anasarca. Grave # 1968. Pvt. John Armstrong, Co. C (3), Va. Milittia, died 8/10/1864 of Scorbutus (Scurvy). Grave # 5011. 1-10-1-1 Sarah M. Armstrong b. 2/19/1858 - Lewis Co.,WV m. 5/16/1877 Elias H. Cunningham b. 8/3/1845 - Braxton Co., Parents: Moses and Phoebe W. (Hayman) Cunningham Copied from West Virginia Heritage Encycolpedia Volumn 3, Page 78 E.H. Cunningham is a son of Moses and Phoebe W. (Hayman) Cunningham, and a grandson of John Hayman, one of the first and most prominent of the settlers of Bulltown (Braxton County, West Virginia). His mother was born in this county (Braxton), and his father in Randolph County, (now) West Virginia. His own birth was in Braxton County, on Kanawha Creek, August 3, 1845 the date, and this county has always been his home. He has been honored with several public offices, all of which he has filled with ability. He was elected justice of the peace in 1880, succeeding his father in the office; was appointed notary public in 1879 by Governor Matthews and by the county court in July, 1881; is still filling both offices and also those of overseer of the poor, and president of the board of education in Kanawha district, where he owns and carries on an excellent farm. Thomas B. Cunningham, brother of E. H., was a Confederate soldier, a member of the 62d Virginia Infantry. He left home August 14, 1862, and returned in May, 1865. He was captured at Rapan Bridge, Virginia, and carried to Camp Chase, Ohio, whence he was removed to South Mobile, Alabama. He was again made prisoner, and sent to Point Lookout, where he was held eight months, until the close of the war. In Lewis county, West Virginia, E.H. Cunningham married Sarah M. Armstrong, Rev. E. Hayman officiating clergyman. She was born in Lewis County, near Ireland, February 19, 1858, a daughter of George and Sarah F. (Pullen) Armstrong, who came from Highland County, Virginia to Lewis County many years ago. George H., born October 13, 1878, is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham. An infant was born to them that did not live to bear a name. Mrs. Cunningham was appointed postmistress in 1879, and is still efficiently filling the position at Bulltown, Braxton County, West Virginia.

The following sketch was copied from "The West Virginia Heritage Encycolpedia", Volume #3 Page 75. J.D. Armstrong has 100 acres of improved land on Knowles Creek, Kanawha district, Braxton County, mostly devoted to grazing purposes. He was born in Pendleton County, (now) West Virginia, August 23, 1828, a son of T.B. and Sarah (Pullen) Armstrong, now of Lewis County. JOHN ARMSTRONG and Samuel Pullen, his paternal and maternal grandfathers were of Irish descent, and lived in Highland County Virginia. T.B. Armstrong was the seventh child and fourth son and he came from Pendleton to Lewis County in 1836. (NOTE: MY INFORMATION SHOWS THAT THOMAS WAS THE TENTH CHILD, NOT THE SEVENTH CHILD OF JOHN AND AGNES (ERVINE) ARMSTRONG.) He was the father of three sons and two daughters, and the subject of this sketch (John D.) was the third son and fourth child. J. D. Armstrong was united in marriage with Rebecca Pickens in Lewis County, December 28, 1853, and in the following year settled on Fall Run. He came to Knowles Creek in 1863. J. D. Armstrong and wife have three sons: William, born February 7, 1856; Samuel, November 23, 1858; Charles, March 2, 1870. The two first have farms of their own in Braxton County, and the youngest is at home. The wife of Mr. Armstrong was born in Lewis County, August 19, 1830, daughter of James and Rachel (Talbart) Pickens. Her father was born in Pendleton County, and her mother in Harrison County, both then part of Virginia, and they settled on Kanawha River in Lewis County in 1835, and reared five girls and three boys, Mrs. Armstrong being the fifth daughter and sixth child. All of Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong's brothers and sisters are living but one on each side and all have families all live in West Virginia. J. D. Armstrong was a Federal soldier through the entire Civil War, serving in Company A, 10th West Virginia Infantry. He was in the battles of Droop Mountain, Opequon, Fishers Hill, Cedar Creek, and others. He was only home once, for fifteen days during the entire war. George Armstrong, his brother, was captured by the Confederates in Upshur County, while taking part in a militia drill, was sent to Andersonville, where he died after six months imprisonment, in 1864. J. D. Armstrong's postoffice address is Knowls Creek, Braxton County, West Virginia. (This sketch was written in the early 1890's.) The above sketch on John D. Armstrong lists three children, but I found two gravestones in the Wilson Cemetery at Ireland, West Virginia, indicating there were at least two more. One stone read "Infant Son of J.D. Armstrong James B. died 7/12/1868 age 2 years 6 months 24 days". The other stone just said "Infant Child of J. D. Armstrong", no dates were given. NOTE: From "The Community of Ireland" by: Nathan C. Reger, Page 17-- Peter Musgrave transferred a lot containing a house and barn to John D. Armstrong on November 19, 1891. The deed mentions a store as a starting place for the survey. It is believed this store was the Musgrave Store and the house became the Armstrong residence and later the Watson Hotel. John D. Armstrong and his son Charles operated a store at this location from 1892 -1906. This site was at the location of a store until about 1950. It is said John D. Armstrong, a Union Army veteran "kept a large picture of himself in uniform prominently displayed in the store. This did not endear him to the partisans of the Southern Cause and they did their buying at other stores when one was available. 1-10-2-1 William Armstrong b. 2/7/1856 d. 1932 Bur: McCutcheon Chapel, Ireland, WV m.

She was looking for information on Samuel Armstrong in order to do a genealogy and pedigree chart, as a gift, for her neice whose husband was a great grandson of Samuel Armstrong. I sent her everything I had on Thomas B. Armstrong family and much of the following report on Samuel's family was sent back in return. They also sent some addresses. (From Cathy Black) - SAMUEL ARMSTRONG - Born in Braxton County, W. Virginia. Owned a General Store in W.Virginia. Married Lucy Byrd Swecker. Had children Auta, Ora, French Boyd, and Grace. Lucy died at a fairly young age. Samuel remarried Betty (last name unknown) around 1916. Had very progressive wills for a second marriage in that they willed each other $1. at death with rest of family to get other property. Betty went back to live with her family after Samuel died. Samuel moved to Ohio after the children were grown. Owned a store there also. He owned a Packard touring car of which he was extremely proud even though he didn't have a driver's license. Other family members drove him around. Lucile remembers driving him when she was home from college. They kept chickens in the garden behind their house and Lucile remembers one time when she drove her grandfather to pick up some new chicks. On the way home a blade came off the fan and cut a hole in the radiator. He was fit to be tied. Neither knew what to do. Finally had to have the car towed. Samuel was not pleased. Samuel paid for the college educations of both Lucile and James (grandchildren). When he died, the family all went to W. Virginia for his burial. Lu thinks it was the last time most of them went back. She couldn't go because she was in college at the time. NOTE: The store Samuel had was in Gould, West Virginia and my step-mother, Nell (Bennett) Armstrong, worked for him one summer when she was a kid. Samuel moved to Eagleville, Ohio, close to his son, French and had a store there. 1-10-2-2-1 Auta Armstrong m. Lester Reeder (From Cathy Black) AUTA ARMSTRONG - Oldest child. Always said she "raised Dad after Mother died." She was a very strong personality. She married Lester Reeder, who was a teacher for a time, but later became a die maker for Youngstown Steel. They had a son Dana N., who married Annabelle Campbell. They had a daughter LuAnn. LuAnn and her spouse ran a drug store. 1-10-2-2-1-1 Dana N.

Had a daughter LaVaughn. Orville was involved some way with the city government of Warren, Ohio. Had the title of Safety Director? Involved with local politicians. They moved to Pomona, CA. Owned a small supermarket. Died of botulism poisoning from fish he ate. Story from James was that there had been a flood in the store, and he shouldn't have eaten the fish? Ora married O. David Buffett. When they visited French Boyd family in Ohio they "came with a suitcase of pills". Evidently early Californian health nuts. Lucile visited her house in California once. LaVaughn married a Salisbury. He had a doctorate in Psychology. They had no children. His family had alot of money and they made a great deal of money on the sale of the parent's property which was needed to put in a freeway. LaVaughn later moved to Arkansas. 1-10-2-2-2-1 LaVaughn Reeder m. James Salisbury from California. The Salisbury's now live in Missouri. 1-10-2-2-3 French Boyd Armstrong b. 9/12/1888 - Knawles Creek d. 8/4/1951 Rock Creek, Ohio m. 6/26/1913 Elinor Loxton d. 1/10/1960 (From Cathy Black) FRENCH BOYD ARMSTRONG - Born in Knawl, W.Virginia. Attended school till 6th grade. Always said he wanted his children to have a better education than he had had. Went to Keokuk, Iowa when a young nam to find work. Worked in a logging camp for several years. Lived with the people who owned the camp, and must have been fairly close, as these people later visited their family in Ohio. Moved to Ohio after Auta (and perhaps the other kids) had already moved there. Worked on the "Jefferson Road" farm in Ohio. (rented this) Met Elinor Roth/Loxton whose father owned the farm "Five Maples," in Rock Creek. He married Elinor on 6-26-1913, in the parlor of the farmhouse, and they lived on the farm. Elinor had a teaching certificate, and she taught in a two room schoolhouse. When Loxton retired in 1916, he moved into town, and French Boyd and Elinor took over the farm. When Loxton's wife died in 1928, he moved back to the farm with F.B. and Elinor. In 1936, he fell down the basement stairs, and was in a coma for 28 days befor he died. Children were Lucile Elizabeth (6-17-1915), Charles, who was born on 8-29-1918 and died 8-29-1918 from the flu epidemic, and James French (7-28-1920). F.B. was strict with children but not abusive. They had a "whalebone" in the house which the children were threatened with the use of, but Lu can't remember anyone ever being spanked with it. Lu came under fire from F.B. when she became old enough to date. He had strict rules for curfew, etc. and would be waiting for her at the door if she got home late. She would then be grounded. They always kept horses on the farm, F.B. liked to ride. Lu rode alot when she was young. They raised Boston Bull Terriers also. Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. installed electricity in the whole farm including the first electric range and the first electric milker in the area. They took lots of pictures which they included in their brochures, and conducted tours through the farm, and served refreshments for Farm Bureau groups. F.B. family not only got the appliances but also some remuneration for allowing the tours, etc. F.B. died after surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. He had colitus, and the doctors were concerned about even doing the surgery because he was weak. Evidently he had been having blackout spells for awhile. They went in for exploratory surgery and found that his internal organs were in a very unusual arrangement. His appendix were under his left shoulder blade, etc. His condition was so unusual that it was written up in an American Medical magazine at the time. A whole team of surgeons had worked on him. He died six hours after the surgery from heart failure. Lu and Roy were vacationing in Pennsylvania at the time. Lu went to the hospital by train and left after the surgery, arriving just before the family was leaving their rental cabin. Roy asked if she didn't want to have one last boat ride before they left. When they returned there was a police officer on the steps of the cabin to tell her her father had died. They returned immediately by train to Ohio. 1-10-2-2-3-1 Lucille Elizabeth Armstrong b. 6/17/1915 m. 12/18/1937 Roy J. Black (From Cathy Black) LUCILE ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG - She skipped fourth grade because she was so far advanced. She graduated from Rock Creek High School in 1932. She attended Ohio State University and graduated with a degree in Home Economics in 1936. Worked for Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. demonstrating appliances in home. (Home Service Department) Their emphasis at the time was "a nightlight in every house" and "a special filtered light for student desks". Lucile was then hired by Central Hudson Gas and Electric. She went to work in Newburgh, NY. She rented a room in a lovely house on the Hudson River. The landlord got Roy J. Black to call her. He finally called her and they went out to dinner on a Saturday night. Roy was an engineer employed by G.E. Corp. in heating and air conditioning. A friend of Lu's told her to forget about marrying Roy because he was engaged to a girl from New Jersey! This wasn't true. Lucile and Roy were married on 12-18-1937, in the same farm house parlor that Elinor and French Boyd had been married in. The songs sung were "I Love You Truly" and "O Promise Me." Lucile wore a red velvet dress with a white gardenia. Jim Armstrong was the best man and Hilda Flagler was the bridesmaid. They were married during finals week, so Roy's brother Otis couldn't come and neither could Edgar Clark, Roy's best friend. They planned to honeymoon in Florida. They stopped in Columbus to see Otis Black, and Lu's old roommate. By the time they got to Kentucky, Lu was feeling really sick. They found a doctor, who diagnosed a strep throat. Roy had to paint her throat with Argerol. How romantic! They then had a flat tire and had to stay at the Andrew Jackson Hotel in Corbin, Kentucky. Lucile got worse and they turned back to the Armstrong's in Ohio, and arrived on Christmas Day, surprise! Lived in NY til 1939, then moved back to Cleveland, Ohio. Roy worked for CEI there. In 1942 he intervied with Corning Fiberglass and they moved to Toledo. Curtis Jay was born 7-10-42. Richard Lynn was born 1-16-45. In 1949, they moved to West Englewood, New Jersey, where Roy worked for the New York office of Owens Fiberglass. On November 1, 1954, they moved to Minnesota. They almost lost their furniture when the moving van skidded off the road in a snowstorm close to Winona. Lucile's mother came to live in MN in 1959, as a housekeeper/nanny to a family in North Mpls. Lived with Roy and Lucile on weekends. She flew to Arizona to visit Jim with the idea that she might move there (didn't like MN winters). She took the bus back and said she hadn't felt well with the flu. Lu took her to a doctor and exploratory surgery in the hospital showed that she had pancreatic cancer which had spread. She died 1-10-60. Settling the estate was difficult because she had property in Ohio, etc. Roy retired in 1969. In January, 1969, they rented a place in Florida for the winter, and then went back in the spring to get their furniture for a final move. Jim wanted them to come to Arizona but Roy couldn't imagine living in a place that didn't have alot of water for boating, fishing, etc. They lived in two homes in Port St. Lucie on the east coast of Florida. In 1982, Curt was divorced, and Lu and Roy decided to move to Tarpon Springs on the west coast to be closer to the grandchildren. In 1992, they moved into St. Mark's Village, Palm Harbor, FL. Lu broke her shoulder in 1991 and had surgery in February, 1993. She is now doing quite well. 1-10-2-2-3-1-1 Curtis Jay Black b. 7/10/1942 m. #1 - Doris D.

Vivian Bingham (From Cathy Black) - JAMES FRENCH ARMSTRONG - Jim graduated from Rock Creed High School in 1937. He went to Ohio State University, but had to quit one quarter short of his degree. He was called up to serve in the Army. Because of this he quit school, married Vivian Bingham earlier than they had planned, and then the Navy rejected him because of his allergies! He went back to the farm to help out, where he stayed until 1955, when they sold the farm and moved to Arizona, because of his allergies. He finished his B.S. and M.S. degree in Agronomy at the University of Arizona in 1962. From then until retirement he was employed by the College of Agriculture at the University.

Clark to his wife in Illinois while he was visiting his boyhood home in Lewis County, West Virginia, in 1916. Known as Aunt Betsy, she was living with her son, Samuel Letcher Cunningham. Remembering the Cunningham family of his childhood, Mr. Clark says....."Here was a house full of boys and girls, also headquarters for coon hunts and sugar stirrings. Here was friendship and unstinted hospitality. What a pleasure to remember that hospitality..." Mr. Clark also wrote..."Letcher's (Cunningham) home is an example of industry, thrift, comfort, cleanliness and good living. The farm itself an object lesson of neatness and order...." 1-10-3-1 Hanson Cunningham b. 11/25/1843 d. 7/14/1905 1-10-3-2 H. Thomas Cunningham Moved to Colorado 1-10-3-3 Thad B.

There is no marriage recorded for Jan Evertsen Bout in NYDC, but he witnessed Bap,'s in the church from 1641 to 1669. He did not witness any baptism of a child of Wessel & Geertie as he would if she had been his daughter or a close relative. | Boutsen, Geertie (I498)
