Seeking any info at all on my gg gandparents and g grandparents, and their descendants. My gg grandparents were John and Catherine Ann Shaw ARMSTRONG. On the 1850 Census for Ashley County, Mill Creek Township, John and 8 children were listed. Catherine Ann had died before the Census. The children, their ages, and places of birth were: Joseph Q. 27, NC Margaret,25, MS John S. 22, NC(myGGF) Thomas, 20, NC Robert 18, NC James, 15, MS Catherine, 13, MS Melissa, 6, MS We do not know whether Margaret, James, Catherine, or Melissa were children of John ARMSTRONG, nor do we know their last names, if they were not. We have been unable to find any trace of any of the above, after 1850, except or my great grandfather, John Shaw ARMSTRONG. John Shaw ARMSTRONG and his family are in the 1860 Census for Ashley County, Mill Creek Township, as: John S. 32, NC Melissa Ann, 25, MS George Q. 4, AR Bellzoriah Ann, 3, AR Sarah Elizabeth,8 months, AR John Shaw ARMSTRONG and Melissa Ann WADE were married in the Holly Springs Baptist Church, in Ashley County, on 12 December 1852. We have no info at all on Melissa Ann prior to her marriage, except that in the 1850 Census, Melissa Ann and her younger brother George WADE were lving with John and Elizabeth LAKE, and their family. Does anyone know anything at all about these ARMSTRONG's or WADE's who lived in Ashley County so long ago, or any of their descendants? Thank you. Louis K. Lyttle
