    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kQB.2ACIB/2398.1 Message Board Post: Where are You!!! Oh my God, I have been looking for someone in this family for many, many years!!!! I am Great-Great-Grandson of Henry Harry Armstrong and Johanna Loretta O'Shea! "Harry" was son of Jason Jesse Armstrong and Jane (Hansburg or Clark???) That you speak of. The family lived in Rome and moved to Oswego about 1878 as the Railroad shops relocated there. Jason Jesse was a well known fabricator of "diamond stacks" for engines. Harry worked with his Dad in the shops and met Johanna through her brothers. ALl contact was severed with Armstrongs when Jason died and he married Johanna who was Catholic. I know exactly where Jason & Jane are buried, have been trying to get their birthdates right to get a stone for there. Only thing I knew from Gram (who died in 1992 always wanting to know more about the Armstrongs) is that a brother Sam who was an attorney (??) or executor (??) for a family member came up in the 1910s or 20s to have Harry sign some papers. I live near Oswego and really am anxious to hear from you and compare notes. Harry and Johanna have 2 grandchildren left. I have all the descendants documented.
