| 17055 | Richard Lee Robinson Contributed By sjkang · 19 February 2015 I only saw my Grandpa Robinson a couple of times. He left my grandma and her 3 kids when my mother was 3. She didn't even know where he was until more that 30 years later when he met us in Texas. He suffered from depression and other mental illnesses. He loved calling into the FBI to report his many conspiracy theories, referring them to his son in law, James Tunnell. My dad called him a harmless sort of crazy. He wrote books about his adventures as a film maker and he had many wives and children that we don't know about. Because we weren't in contact with him for so many years, it is hard to know how much of his writing is fact or fiction. | Robinson, Richard Lee (I5)

| 17066 | Robert Armstrong was an immigrant from Northeast Ireland around Londonderry. He arrived in Chester County about 1735 and migrated further west to Lancaster County. Then he traveled down the Shenandoah Valley to Augusta County, Virginia. He died there and left a will. From Kyle Armstrong (314) 423-6810. Robert immigrated from Province of Ulster, County of Antrim, Ir. in 1735 with wife Alice, & 2 sons John & Robert. With them were the McBrides, Cunninghams, Bounds, and Calhouns. General reasons for Migration of Non-English to Colonial America: 1. Blacks introduced, first as indentured servants, then as slaves, after 1619. 2. Dutch and Swedes are incorporated as New York and New Jersey become english colonies. 3. Huguenots (French Protestants) permitted by English to settle after forced to leave France. 4. Lowland Scots settle in northern Ireland, then shortly after 1700 come in large numbers to the English colonies, settling on the frontier and becoming known as the "Scotch-Irish." 5. Germans, largely from the Palatinate, settle on the frontier at same time as the "Scotch-Irish" and become known as the "Pennsylvania Dutch." 6. After 1750, signficant numbers of Highland Scots are permitted to leave Scotland to settle in the English colonies, with the promise they will never fight against the (English) Crown. From: Richard Hakluyt's "Discourse of Western Planting" provides an intellectual rationale for colonizing of the Scots both in Ireland and the New World. Reasons Why The Scots of Ireland Migrate to the Colonies As their numbers increased, some of the more venturesome fourth and fifth sons who had no hope of inheriting any of their father's skimpy land holdings, began heading abroad. But it was not until Queen Anne came to the throne of Great Britain in 1702, that the exodus of Ulster Scots began in earnest. Queen Anne was by all accounts a compassionate, pious woman, but unfortunately her principal advisors were conservative Tories and reactionary High-Church Anglicans. On one hand, she was of great assistance to the Huguenots - the French protestants who were being severely persecuted by Catholic zealots on the continent. But at the same time she was aiding them, she was persuaded to clamp down mercilessly on Britain's non-Anglican "dissenters" or "nonconformists." . In 1704, her advisors influenced the passage of the Sacramental Test Act which excluded Nonconformists from public office. In 1714 came the Schism Bill which prohibited them from teaching school. Aimed primarily at Catholics, this legislation was equally devastating to Presbyterian Scots. Thousands of Scottish teachers and bureaucrats began moving to the continent in search of jobs. Some of the displaced professionals also began heading across the Atlantic - particularly those living in Ulster. Fresh impetus was given to the exodus when the linen trade collapsed because of the war. Ulster farmers who grew flax suddenly had no market. Now all the Scotch Irish were looking toward North America. From 1725 to 1765, 200,000 Ulster Scots made their way to the Colonies via the ports of Belfast and Derry. Most disembarked in the Chesapeake Bay region, particularly at Chester, Lewes and Philadelphia. According to one historian, nearly 6,000 Presbyterians from Ireland landed in Philadelphia alone in 1729 and "before the middle of the century, nearly 12,000 arrived annually for several years." Chester County, Pennsylvania, became core of the burgeoning Ulster Scot enclave. Incoming immigrants spilled over into Philadelphia County, and southwestern New Jersey, and New Castle County, in what became Delaware in 1703, and pushed westward as Lancaster County, Pa, was created from Chester County. The earliest helped later-arriving kith and kin get established. Many came under indenture to local tradesmen and farmers - their passage being paid in return for four or five years of work. As the Ulster Scots poured in, land values soared and it became difficult to even rent a little land on which to scratch out a living. For the brave and ambitious, the frontier was the only option. By 1730, many had pushed beyond western Lancaster County and turned southwestward into the northern entrance to the great Shenandoah Valley. By mid-18th century, they were fanning out into North and South Carolina as well as western Virginia, spurred on as cheap land became available through Indian treaties and the sale by Lords Proprietor of Crown granted lands.

Armstrong, 1902; "From Ulster to Carolina," Blethan and Wood, 1983; "Historical Sketches of the Holston Valleys, " Preston, 1926; "The Scotch Irish, Vol. I," Hanna; "Annals of Augusta County, Virginia," Waddell.

Robert, wife Alice and sons Robert & John emigrated America in 1735 and lived in Lancaster Co., Pa. where the remainder of his children were born, before moving to Abbeville Co., S.C. The migration that Robert Armstrong and his son, John, traveled after they arrived in Philadelthia went along a much traveled route. In the Colonial Roads to 1750 it explains that one of the earliest east-west wagon roads, the Lancaster road linked Philadelphia to Harrisburg before 1730. The Armstrongs went on this connection from Lancaster to Winchester, Virginia, in the early 1740s, created what was either called the Philadelphia Wagon Road or the Great Valley Road. The Fall Line Road crossed Virginia and the Carolinas, and eventually into Georgia. Note; She states on page 6, par. 6, that only John & Robert were born in Ireland.

| 17095 | Sarah was never married, but the mother of four children. We do not know when she moved from Pendleton County, W.Va. to Augusta County, Virginia. She owned and lived in a log house on top of Middle River Hill, on Route 250, between Churchville and Staunton, Virginia. Sarah died at the nearby home of her son-Charlie and Hannah Armstrong. Her mother, Elizabeth Ann Bodkin Armstrong lived with her before her death 19 December, 1909. From the files of Janice L. (Armstrong) Nicholas 1-12-3-3 SARAH ARMSTRONG 11233 SARAH ARMSTRONG b. 1865 Sugar Grove, Pendleton Co., W.Va. d. 9/19/1922 m. Single (?? Henry Armstrong ??) Bur: Green Hill Cemetery, Churchville, VA. NOTE For some reason through the years, the Sarah branch of the Eli Armstrong Family had been lost to the rest of us. Very little was known about her and her descendants until the summer of 1991. We knew she was not married but hads of four of her children. In 1986 Dice Armstrong told us Sarah had a beautiful home on Rt. 250 between Churchville and Staunton, Virginia, and Great Grandmother Elizabeth Ann made her home with Sarah during the last years of her life. In 1987 Clay and Mary Crummett gave Elizabeth Ann Deihl names of some of Sarah's grandchildren. In the summer of 1991, Joe Armstrong saw an article in the newspaper about Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Hupman, who had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The article said Mrs. Hupman was the daughter of the late Arlie and Rachel S. Armstrong. Knowing Arlie was the name of one of Sarah's sons, Joe and Elva went to work and in a very short time had located, talked to or written to many members of this lost branch of our Family. Most of the cousins contacted were very helpful and happy to learn about their connection with the rest of us. Joe gave a report on his findings to those attending the 1991 Eli Armstrong Reunion, and for the first time, there were several of the Sarah Family at the 1992 Reunion. THANK YOU, JOE AND ELVA!! ********** Sarah Armstrong was born in 1865, the 3rd child of Eli and Elizabeth Ann (Bodkin) Armstrong, Sugar Grove, Pendleton Co., West Virginia. As far as we can find, Sarah was never married, but was the mother of 4 children; William Arlie, Jesse L.harles Eli (Charley), and Elva Gertrude (Gertie). NOTE: We have been told that Sarah was married to a Henry Armstrong, but we have found no proof to document this. Older family members say she was not and had never been married. We do not know for sure when Sarah made the move from Pendleton Co., West Virginia to Augusta Co., Virginia, but we think it was in the fall of 1892. She owned and lived in a log house atop Middle River Hill on Rt. 250 between Churchville antaunton. The house has been covered with siding since her ownership and occupancy. We do not know if she ever lived at any other location in Augusta Co. Joe's sister, Georgia Armstrong, remembers staying with Aunt Sarah while recovering from surgery in 1917. She remembers a little about Sarah's children and meeting some of her neighbors. She says Sarah was a very independent person. Shee her own horse and buggy, was good to her during her stay, and was a good cook. Sarah died September 19, 1922 at the home of her son, Charley and Hannah Armstrong, who lived near by. She is buried in Green Hill Cemetery, Churchville, Virginia. ********** CHILDREN OF SARAH ARMSTRONG 1-12-3-3-1 WILLIAM ARLIE ARMSTRONG -- 1874-1978 1-12-3-3-2 JESSE L.

He received an A.B. degree from Rutgers University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa; a master's degree in political science from the University of Michigan, and a doctorate in public law and government from Columbia University.

| 17100 | Schuyler Colfax [1823-1885] US President (or related person) Schuyler Colfax grew up in a poor family, although he was a descendant of the wealthy Schuyler clan. He grew up in New York City where his father was a bank teller. His father died from tuberculosis several months before he was born. His mother had to raise him by running a boarding house. He was able to get a primary education but only until he was 10 years old. He then had to go to work to help support his family. He never received any other formal education. His mother‘s name was Hannah Delameter Stryker, a name that hints at strong Dutch roots. His grandmother was Hester Schuyler, a cousin of General Philip Schuyler, the famous Revolutionary general. His grandfather, William Colfax, had served in George Washington’s Life Guard during the American Revolution. He later became a general in the New Jersey Militia. In 1836 when Schuyler was 13, his mother married George W. Matthews and the family moved to New Carlisle, Indiana. The move apparently did wonders for Colfax. He apparently had been able to self-educate himself, and became a prolific contributor to the local papers. In 1845, at age 22 he purchased a South Bend, Indiana newspaper and renamed it the St. Joseph Valley Register. He used the paper to promote his own political interests. He was a delegate to the Whig Party convention in 1848 and the Indiana Constitutional Convention in 1849. Colfax tried to get nominated as a candidate for the U.S. Congress on the Whig Party ticket in 1852. He was rejected but was nominated again in 1854, won and became a member of the U. S. Congress in 1855, as a Representative from Indiana’s 9th district. The Whig Party was the forerunner of the Republican Party. He would serve as a Representative in the U.S. House until 1869, when he was elected as Vice President of the United States with Ulysses S. Grant as the President. He served for the full four years of the presidential term until 1873. While serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, he was elected as the Speaker in 1863 and served for six years as Speaker of the House until 1869, the year he became the Vice President. During his service as a Congressman the country went through the tribulations of the Civil War. He was strongly opposed to slavery. Also during his time as Speaker of the House the Thirteenth Amendment was passed in 1865. Colfax married his childhood friend Evelyn Clark in 1844. She passed away childless in 1863. Colfax was then only 40, and in 1868, two weeks after he was elected to the Vice Presidency he married Ella M. Wade. They had one son, Schuyler Colfax III, born in 1870. After leaving office in 1873, Colfax was only 50 years old. He began a successful career as a lecturer, all over the country. The railroads had arrived and travel had become a lot easier. In 1885, on one of his lecture trips in the Midwest, he had to walk nearly a mile in extremely cold weather. He encountered a heart attack and died on the spot in Omaha, Nebraska. His body was returned to his home town, South Bend, Indiana. He was buried in the City Cemetery in South Bend. Since he had grown up in the Midwest, had lectured a lot and had served as Vice President for four years, he became well known. In recognition of his services several states named a town after him. So next time you come through a Colfax just remember the story of Schuyler Colfax, who was able to overcome adversity, and succeed in becoming the Vice President of the United States. See the appendix at the end of the bio profile for Pieter Schuyler [1657-1724] to understand the relationship, if any, between the eight Schuylers in this listing. http://www.newnetherlandinstitute.org/history-and-heritage/dutch_americans/schuyler-colfax/ | Colfax, Schuyler (I1473)
