Wonder if this rings any bells?My son-in-law, William Terry Armstrong's 3xg gm Margaret Armstrong,born 1793 ,a widow aged c41, came to Ontario Canada in 1834 with 2 sons.James bc 1817 and William bc 1824. (From Fermanagh).They came first to Vaughan, near Toronto and then to Elgin Township.There were other Armstrongs in both areas.Last week I found a transcription of her tombstone, died aged 85, Dec 27,1876. Widow of William!! Church of England (usually means they were C/Iat home)..I believe I should be looking for a William who died before 1834 andpossibly other children, as there is an unusual space between the sons..If James is the eldest, then possibly grandfather was James,Do you know if there have been any DNA studies to narrow down the search?
