Hi All, I've always have my eyes open for any info on Archibald Armstrong, who died in Delaware, 1775, and left rights to a lease in "the Kingdom of Ireland, Province of Ulster County of Farmanaugh and Parish of Aughaberger known by the name of Alaclinabrire" to his sons. I find it interesting him living in Delaware and holding a lease to land in Ireland. Besides that, I am always interested in Armstrongs with roots in Delaware. Earliest Delaware Armstrongs I have run across are John and William Armstrong in Delaware 1722. There was an Able Armstrong and an Alexander Armstrong somewhere a little after that and a couple more Williams. It's hard, when you are looking at them on paper, they all look the same. Happy Hunting! Steve A.
Steve, Don't know if these will help, or maybe you already have them, but I copied them from somewhere when I thought my Armstrongs of Chester Co., PA arrived in the U.S. sooner than they actually did. Hope these are yours and hope that the email addresses are still good.

Most, if not all, of the Armstrongs mentioned are descendants of Archibald Armstrong , who (according to the book "Chronicles of the Armstrongs") came toAmerica about 1740 from Dughalurgher, in the parish of Atclinabuir, County Fermanagh, and settled in New Castle, near Wilmington, Delaware. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Family Bible: David 1768 DE Posted by: Julie Date: February 14, 2001 at 20:30:22 of 5550 Go I have our Armstrong family bible.
