All of the dates I have on this John Armstrong are from family sources handed down from
his grandson Owen Lucas Armstrong (brother of my great-grandmother Nevada Armstrong
Knost). I have not been able to locate his county of birth in Pennsylvania, the place
where he and Mary Lucas were married, or any records of their marriage. I would like to
find out more about his family of origin and ancestry. Please contact me if you are also a
descendant of this family or have any information about John Armstrong. See my public tree
for further details and information.
