Dear Patti, Just a brief comment on Armstrong stubbornness. My ancestor John Armstrong is buried in the pioneer Cemetery in Pittsford, New York. He was born in 1760 and lived in Quorndon, Leicestershire, in north central England, between 1760 and 1803. In 1803 he and his wife and nine children immigrated to Pittsford. Apparently he fought in the War of 1812, and died of influenza at the age of 52. His tombstone indicates that he was a Captain, probably in the New York state militia. The history of the town of Pittsford indicates that he also held some offices in the local government.

Dianne, In my previous post, I implied that ALL Armstrong's migrated.. this is not true.. Some stayed on the borders, some moved south into England, and I suppose some may have even changed their names..!!

My own Great Grandparents were very adamant that they were not just Irish, but Scots-Irish...!! I think they were very proud and stubborn people, and I have 4 grandkids who obviously have inherited that same stubborn gene..!

My understanding is that the settlement in Ireland, (at least partially requested or required by an English monarch?), resulted in what would later be known as the Scots-Irish, who were largely protestant. My grandmother used to say her people were Scots-Irish. At the time, I didn't know what that meant, nor that it was associated with her mother's Armstrong family.

Dianne, The Armstrong Clan originated on the borders of Scotland.. and for 300 years were a major force.. in (about) 1530 King James V of Scotland hanged Johnie Armstrong, 2nd son of the then Clan chief, and about 30 (or so) of his closest friends/relatives. In (about) 1610 the Armstrong Clan Chief was hanged by King James VI/I Who was then the king of both Scotland and England. and thus commenced a migration of Armstrong's to healthier climates. Many went to the Province of Ulster in Northern Ireland. Some went straight to North America, and some just went to far off places.. The borders of Scotland are considereed Lowlands.. The Armstrong's for 300 years were known as Reivers. (Raiders) they rode horses, stole cattle, sheep and other things that weren't hidden or nailed down.. Horsemen didn't wear kilts for obvious reasons. Kilts were associated with the Highlands, not the lowlands.. But if you want to dress up your doll in a kilt I doubt if anyone other than another historian would know the difference..! in regards to the Armstrong Tartan, you have a choice between the Ancient, and the Modern.. myself I think the Ancient Tartan is much more attractive.. (see Clan web sites) A coat of arms belongs to an individual.. Not a Family.. Family members and other associates can wear a Clan Badge to show association or allegiance to the individual that has the Coat of Arms.. There are quite a few Coats of Arms that have been associated with various Armstrong's down through history.. there is one Clan badge that is now universally recognized as that of the Armstrong's. (See Clan websites) See the three major Clan organizations... http://www.armstrong.org/ http://www.armstrongclan.org.uk/ http://www.armstrong-clan-association.co.uk/ Sincerely, John D.

Benoni I think, means "Born of Sorrows" and it connotes the death of the mother in childbirth. I believe it is found in the Old Testament rather than the Book of Mormon, but I am not sure.
