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.

Various people lived with her and helped with her maintenance which was provided by her brother Jared, and then by his daughters, Miss Leta and Miss Lura Hiner.
