• Notes

  Note-Bill Armstrong, Arizona,another source shows John Jr. as being named John J.P. Armstrong. *****There is a PROBLEM with the children as his records show the last two children by the first wife as being older than the two children by his second wife!!! NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION- read on in Janice's files. JHA3/2003. I believe John J.P.(married to Margaret Jones is a different John from the one married to Elizabeth Parrett.JHA112/2003. (from the files of Janice Armstrong Nicholas) 1-5 JOHN ARMSTRONG, JR. 1-5 JOHN ARMSTRONG b. 1790 m. 1812 - Margaret Jones In Morton's books, "The History of Highland County Virginia" and "The History of Pendleton County West Virginia", the author says that John Armstrong married Margaret Jones in 1812 and moved to Ohio. John was mentioned in his fathers will, dated June 9, 1820. "...I desire there shall be a sale made as soon as convenient, for to raise the sum of one hundred pounds with what paper money I may have at my death for my son John, who lives in the State of Ohio. If he should be living, when we hear from him. If he should be dead, I will to each of his heirs fifty dollars...." While searching in the Akron Branch of the LDS Genealogical Library I found a listing for a John Armstrong married in Augusta County, Virginia, to a Margaret Jones in 1825. After sending for more information, I found this could not be the John Armstrong I am looking for. His father was John Armstrong, but his mother was listed as Mary Crawford, not Agnes "Nancy" (Ervine) Armstrong. The listing had been submitted by Alda C. Call, Brigham City, Utah 84302. In the HARDESTY COUNTY Supplement of the "West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedias", published by Jim Comstock of the "West Virginia Hillbilly", I found reference to a John "J. P." Armstrong that was married to a Margaret Jones. He was a teacher and a doctor. He lived in Lewis County near Weston, in Jackson County near Ripley and in Roane County near Spencer. He had at least one daughter and three sons, Lenox C. (killed in the Civil War), Matthias B., and Jacob Lorentz, all very influential in the history of that area of West Virginia. When the will of John Armstrong was written in 1820, this John "J.P." Armstrong was living in Lewis County (then) Virginia, not in "the State of Ohio". I can not prove that John "J.P." Armstrong was the son of JOHN and AGNES (ERVINE) ARMSTRONG. ********** Dill's History of Fayette County, Ohio page 669 Biographical sketch of Abel Armstrong. Abel is the son of John and Elizabeth Armstrong, natives of Virginia. John came to Ohio in 1814. They had a family of 12 children, nine of whom lived to maturity. The parents died in Ohio. The father, February 9, 1865, aged nearly seventy-five years, and the mother August 10, 1842. Abel was married to Miss Emily Creamer, daughter of J. B. Creamer, whose biography is also included in this work. They had 7 children: Nancy J., Joseph B., George A., Rhoda E., Iva M., Almeda, and Charlie E. Nancy J., Rhoda E., and Almeda, are deceased. Mrs. Armstrong's grandfather, Parot (Parrett), served in the revolutionary war, and also the war of 1812.
