MARY ARMSTRONG
1-7 MARY ARMSTRONG (Twin to MARGARET)
b. 1792
d. 1867
m. 2/2/1826 John Bodkin, III
Parents: John Jr. & Elizabeth (Vint) Bodkin
Mary Armstrong was mentioned in her fathers will dated June 9, 1820. "...after my death my son Thomas is to pay each of my two daughters Mary and Nancy a good horse worth sixty dollars and fifty dollars in money and their beds and bedding if they should require it and they are to live on the plantation with their mother her life time unless they should marry and if not married at my wifes death they are to live with my son Thomas still and have a good living with him..."
I only had two children, James and George, listed for this family until 1995. The other three names came from Jerry Campbell's book, "My Loving Family".
Kent Botkin is researching the Bodkin (Botkin) family and may have more information on the descendants of John & Mary (Armstrong) Bodkin.
Gerald N. Botkin, 329 Kessler Blvd., Seymmour,IN, is also researching the Botkin history.
