He has a brother by the name of John Armstrong who was married to an Eleanor Gilchrist. The information I have come across regarding him is as follows: John Armstrong - born: March 8, 1724 in Lanercost, Cumberland Co., England marriage 1: Eleanor Gilchrist - about 1740 in Fannett, Cumberland Co., PA marriage 2: Eleanor Wallace - 1750 in Tuscarora Valley, Cumberland Co., PA. died: June 10, 1772 in Tuscarora Valley, Cumberland Co., PA. Outside of this information I know nothing of any descendants from there. As for his brothers and sisters, it goes as such: William Armstrong - born: abt. 1705 in Kirkandrews Parish, Cumberland Co., England. marriage: Sarah ???? abt. 1719 in England. died: 1769 in Cumberland Co., PA. Margaret Armstrong - born: October 6, 1706 in Kirkandrews Parish, Cumberland Co., England. marriage: unknown died: unknown Robert Armstrong - born: November 9, 1712 in Kirkandrews Parish, Cumberland Co., England. marriage: Elizabeth Bryers on June 14, 1736 in Kirkandrews Parish, Cumberland Co., England. died: unknown Adam Abraham Armstrong - born: February 7, 1715 in Kirkandrews Parish, Cumberland Co., England. marriage 1: Margaret Nixon on Dec. 3, 1731 in Bewcastle, Cumberland Co., England. marriage 2: Elizabeth Olifer on Dec. 9, 1741 (place is being disputed based upon marriage dates). died: May 20, 1779 in Peters, Franklin Co., PA. Their parents are Adam Armstrong and Mary Foster. Adam was born 1685 in Cumbria, England, and Mary was born 1685, also, in Cumberland Co., England. They were married on November 20, 1705 in Kirkandrews Parish, Cumberland Co., England. Adam died 1749 in Canonbie, Cumberland Co., England, and Mary's death date is unknown. Let me know if their is any information you may be able to provide on John and Eleanor, as I can go back further on this Armstrong line. For your knowledge, this information has come via these sources: William Armstrong, Col. Jimmy Dee Armstrong, myself, as well as numerous hours of census and document research. William is an Armstrong Family Researcher who spends much time looking for any and or all information pertaining to the Armstrong heritage. I hope to hear from you soon!! Dan Armstrong
