Grace, Fancy you mentioned Fayette Co Ky... although I didn't have any Armstrong relatives there (that we know of)(Yet)... my Naylors and Cormans (Kornmans) were there at the beginning of the 19tyh century.. See that, already I've only had one glass of Charlies Single Malt, and the keyboard is acting up...!!! My Armstrong's didn't arrive in the US until 1846... I've learned a lot about them after they got "here", but sure wish I could learn a little more about them when they lived in Ireland and Scotland..!! Well, not every generation had a James... but every generation I've ever looked at had a few John's and even More Williams...! It's the Hugh's that I'd like to find..!!!

The Hughs should be the easier ones John. the era that they arrived, you would think it would be easier to trace as well, wouldn't you? Just not anyone in that line researching in Scotland as yet.
