Information in this file on George Armstrong has been taken from Morton's histories of Highland County, Virginia and Pendleton County, West Virginia. Some of it was taken from "The New History of Highland Co." and "The Bicentennial History of Bath Co., Virginia". Some of the dates were taken from grave stones, some data was found at the Akron branch of the LDS Genealogical Library, and the WV Heritage Encyclopedia. In 1990 I was given a copy of "The John Morgan Armstrong Family", complied by Robert H. Armstrong a g. grandson of George and Sarah (Hiner) Armstrong. Other information was found in Jerry Campbell's "My Loving Family".
George was mentioned in his fathers will which was dated June 9, 1820 and recorded in Pendleton County in 1821. "...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..."

This information on Jemima Armstrong has been taken from"The West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia", Volume #3, page 50.
Jemima was the second wife of Benjamin F. Jackson, who's first wife was her distant cousin, Ruth Wilson, the daughter of Samuel and Jane (Armstrong) Wilson. Jane (Armstrong) Wilson was the daughter of WILLIAM and ELIZABETH (ERVINE) ARMSTRONG.
Benjamin F. Jackson was born in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, the son of Benjamin M. and Prima (West) Jackson. At the age of 11 years he left his native State and accompanied an uncle to Indiana, where he lived until he attained his majority. He then made the journey from Indiana to North Carolina, in 1840, on horseback, and settled in Pendleton County (then) Virginia, where he married his first wife, Ruth, on July, 22, 1841 and engaged in farming, tanning and a general mercantile trade.

 Benjamin and Ruth had 10 children: John S., born March 12, 1843; Virginia J., October 19, 1844; Hannah E., July 8, 1847; Indiana M., July 18, 1850, Ohio M., June 3, 1852; Nebraska D., May 16, 1854; William K., June 27, 1856; Samuel L., May 21, 1862; Andrew H., March 3, 1865: Edgar H., May 10, 1867. After Ruth's death Benjamin married Jemima and they lived near Dunmore, Pocahontas County, West Virginia. They farmed, raised stock and had 5 children.
Robert H. Armsstrong's "THE JOHN MORGAN FAMILY", says Jemima and Benjamin went to North Carolina in 1872.

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

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.
