JARED ARMSTRONG

1-3 JARED ARMSTRONG (Known as Miller Jared)
b. 1785 - Leesburg, Loudon Co. (? Augusta Co.), Virginia
d. 4/16/1865
m. 1820 - Agnes Hiner
b
There is a lot ot information on Jared Armstrong in Morton's book "The History of Highland County Virginia". The name Jared is very common in the Armstrong Family and to confuse things, this Jared, son of John and . 1789
d. 1867
Parents: John & Magdalene (Burner) Hiner
his cousin Jared, son of William, were in the same area about the same time.
Jared and Agnes (Hiner) Armstrong had at least nine children, 6 are listed in Morton's history and 3 more are added in The New History of Highland County. Part of these children, according to the New History, were born in Illinois, the rest in Virginia or what is now part of West Virginia.
Jared is mentioned in his father's will that is dated June 9, 1820, he was to pay fifty dollars of the ninty dollars he owed his Dad, to his son, Able H. (John's grandson) which at that time according to the will, was in the state of Ohio.
NOTE: This brings up some unanswered questions. Why was Jared's inheritance so much smaller than his brothers? Why and when did Jared and his family leave Highland Co? Did Jared borrow money from his father to relocate? If the family was in Ohio in 1820 when did they go to Illinois? When did they return to Highland County?

NOTE: Copied in part from the New History of Highland Co. Va., page 148-149:

Rich and Rose Hicklin lived their entire life in the McDowell community (approx. 1 mile north on the road to Doe Hill-JHA) They were active in all community work, political, social and religious. They were members of the McDowell Presbyterian Church. Rich was born at Clover Creek, South of McDowell and Rose was born near Headwarters. They are buried "On the Hill" in the Presbyterian Cemetery at McDowell. They owned their farm and raised sheep and cattle. Rich served several terms as Supervisor for Stonewall Distric, he was an elder in the church, President of McDowell Water Co., Inc. and chairman of the Mountain Soil Conservation District. He was instrumental in securing the Water system for the McDowell community. Rose was interested in all club work. She was one of the first members of the Stonewall Womans Club, GFWC and was a diligent worker with the organization to secure Extension trips to Monterey to appear before the Board of Supervisios to secure financial support. Rich and Rose Hicklin had three children.

NOTE: In 1950 Rose C. Armstrong Hicklin did some family research for D.A.R. membership. It was from her papers that we find the two Robert theory. She shows Robert Armstrong as the son of Robert. I requested a copy of her membership application, #399527, but was sent #469379, Hattie E. (Armstrong) Lee's application instead.

Notes:

Source: Va H 2; History of Highland County; 1850 Census. We believe his father was Robert Armstrong, an immigrant from North Ireland who served in the French and Indian war ( a sergeant) from 1754 to 1763. In 1759 he served one mile south of Doe Hill. He married a Jane van Arsdale, from New Jersey and had three sons-John (above), William and Amos. He also had a brother, James. William and John, with their families, came to Doe Hill area with their families in 1794-From Loudoun County supposedly--further research needs to be done. JHA 8/4/2000.
James C. Walls research shows John with a middle name of Morgan.JHA 1/12/2003.

John Armstrong was born in 1759 and died in 1821. We think he was the son of Robert and Jane (VanArsdale) Armstrong, but this is still unproven.

JOHN ARMSTRONG

From the forgoing references we find that John Armstrong, the pioneer ancestor of our branch of the Armstrong Family, was the son of Robert, born in 1759, died in 1821, came to Highland County from Loudoun County Virginia and settled near Doe Hill. He bought land on the Bullpasture River, married Agnes Ervine the daughter of Jared and Elizabeth Ervine and had twelve children. Agnes was born in Augusta County in 1764 and died in 1827. I have found her name listed as Agnes, Nancy Agnes, Agnes Nancy and Nancy Ann.

We know that John was in the Virginia Militia, served as a private and was appointed the rank of Lieutenant in 1793. He was first found in uniform in 1780 (age 21) and the last reference I found was a muster roll in 1814 (age 55). John must have been highly regarded by his peers for at that time under the militia system, captains and lieutenants were chosen by privates, recommended to the county court, the governor considered the courtÿ2 CONC n and issued the appointments. I wrote to the National Archives, Washington, D.C. for Lieutenant John Armstrongÿ2 CONC d requested and recommended I search under Pvt. John Armstrong. I wrote again requesting Service Records, Bounty-Land Warrants and Pension Application but never received a reply.

I found Johnÿ2 CONC g his will I have surmised that my G.G.G. Grandfather John Armstrong was very well off for a man of his time. He owned sheep, cattle horses and at least two tracts of land described as, (1) the "Mowry Place" and (2) "the Plantation I now live on".

I have been told there is a Bodkin lady who knows where John Armstrong and his brother William are buried. I sure would like to talk to her. I still need to search in both Highland Co., Virginia and Pendleton County, West Virginia, for more information on tax lists, deeds, and Census Records. Highland County was established out of part of Pendlenton County and the area was again divided when West Virginia became a seperate state.
