Hi Marcia, We are still cool up here, but our snow is gone, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. Another month and we should be seeing a few flowers.. We have just discovered this ARMSTRONG name and haven't done much research. However I did note that Marion Co. AL is next to Itawamba Co. MS. We found the following Armstrong names in the Itawamba Co. Marriage books: Marriage Book #2 70 - James Armstrong - Mary A. Arnold - 19 Sep 1844 - Helam Robertson Signed by the above Helam Robertson in Monroe County. 139 - D.B. Armstrong - M.A.H. English - 4 Dec 1846 - John Wylie, JP 153 - H.L. Porter - Sarah E. Armstrong - 18 Feb 1847 - Josiah Roberts, MG Marriage Book #3 12 - Clement H. Ferrill - Mary E Armstrong - 24 Feb 1848 - Lee Compeer, MG Marriage Book #4 73 - Armstrong, K.A. - Rogers, Hannah M. - 8 Sept 1851 - W.C. Thomas Bean Cem. Itawamba, MS David A. Armstrong 1/15/1811 - 6/03/1889 Nothing seems to match so far, but we will keep your records in my file and perhaps a connection will show up. Jim and Wanda
