      JAMES ARMSTRONG

      1-8 JAMES ARMSTRONG
      b. 1795
      m. #1 4/8/1819 - Elizabeth Hiner
      d. in WV
      #2 1836 - Sarah Smith - from W. Va.



      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.)
