I found another page with mention of a Armstrong, in one of the old
journals on line. It is
obvious the search doesn't always work, as I found this one in the
browse area. Searching all
the indexes. this is the second index I have searched.

Do we have any dates on these people? Is this during the Rev. War?
Probably just a co-incidence of names, but my family connections
include a John Graham (b abt 1800) who married an Elizabeth "Betsey" Freeman.
This Betsey's sister Sarah Freeman married a Lunsford, and their dau
Susannah married William Clarkson. William Clarkson's parents were John and
Mary C. There was a son named James as well. The first place I find John
Clarkson is in Shelby Co, KY when he married Mary in 1804. There was an
older and also a younger William Clarkson in Shelby County at the same time.
The Illinois comment is interesting since a grandson told people his father's
ancestors came from PA through ILL to MO.
So, probably just that the Clarksons loved the names "John" and "James",
but the Graham connection cases me to wonder. My Clarksons lived in
Washington/Rives, Cooper, Boone, and St Clair counties of MO .
A SHORT HISTORY OF THE LIZE FRIEND
GRAVE YARD ON LITTLE NORTH FORK
By S. C. Turnbo
>From the top of the bluff between where the waters of Little North Fork
and Pond Fork mingle their waters together, an observer has an extended
view of wooded hills, ridges, hollows and creek bluffs. At an ordinary
stage the water in both streams are clear and transparent and the roar
of the rushing water as it passes over the shoals is heard at a long
distance.
On the west bank of North Fork below the junction of the two streams is
situated the hamlet of Theadosia. Jim Clarkson was the first settler
here.
His wife was named Polly and they had two girl children whose names were
Nancy and Elizabeth. One morning at day break in war times 7 men on
horse
back crossed the creek near where the roller mill dam is now and charged
up to the log cabin occupied by Clarkson and his family and compelled
Mr.
Clarkson to go with them to a glade on the side of a hill near where the
Lutie Road now passes and near ¼ mile from the creek where they halted
and shot him to death and rode on. Two of Clarksons sisters Patsey and
Mandy, Jim Pelham and Nathan Young were the first to reach the spot
where
the murdered man lay. It is said that a pale yellow dog named Tige which
belonged to Clarkson followed him to his death and returned back to the
house and accompanied the searching party and guided them to the place
where his dead master lay in the embrace of cold grim death. As it was
nearly impossible to have a coffin made here in those days of blood and
strife his remains were enclosed in a common box. I am told that both
his
children are dead. Nancy was buried at the side of her fathers grave.
Mr. Clarkson was an inoffensive man and one of his eyes had been
destroyed
by fire in the state of Illinoise when he was a little fellow. On the
opposite
side on North Fork from the bluff is an old time burial place of the
dead.
This grave yard is marked by a grove of timber and is situated on the
upper
part of the Lize Friend farm. On the 5th day of October 1905 1 went up
to the top of this bluff to view this cemetery and reflect back when the
old timers of this neighborhood once enjoyed the balmy air of the
Ozarks.
Mr. Lize Friend informs me that Agnes a little daughter of John B.
Graham
died in 1838, her body was the first interment here. The body of "Gid"
Brown who was killed on the east prong of Big Creek by a pedlar in 1839
was the second interment here. A large number of pioneer people of Ozark
County Mo. rest in this cemetery. Among them are three of the Risleys,
Ben Silas and Bert. Two first named were brothers and Bert was a son of
Silass. Silas Risleys wife was named Betsey and I am told that Silas
was the first settler on the land known now as the sand field which is
on the west bank of Little North Fork just above where Paton Keesee
lived
many years ago known now as the "Dug" Price Place. Here in this sandy
bottom
Silas Risley cleared one acre of land and planted it in corn and I am
reliably
informed that he raised 100 bushels of corn off of this acre of land.
This
was a few years after Paton Keesee occupied the "Dug" Price land in
1823.
Returning to the grave yard we are told that the old pioneer settler
John
B. Graham and his wife whose name was Betsey is also buried here. Other
early residents of Ozark County whose mouldering bones repose here are
Isaac Copelin, Isaiah Baize, John B. Ford, Noel Hutchison, John Friend
and Lewis Clarkson. Jim Clarkson son of Lewis Clarkson who we have
already
stated was killed in war times was also buried here. This village of the
dead was known many years ago as the Betsey Graham Grave Yard, taking
its
name from Mrs. Betsey Graham who lived here a number of years after the
death of her husband.
