In 1860 Davenport, SCott County, Iowa page 371 I found the following: James Armstrong 26 NY Lawyer Mary 25 NY Julia 4 months (as of June 1860) born in Iowa I looked in the records for Scott County cemeteries on the internet and didn't find a Julia Armstrong, but that doesn't mean anything. It's hard, as you can imagine, to find death info for anything before 1880, so I don't know...the Davenport library may have something in the church records, and there could possibly be something in cemetery books they have there. Then again, she may have died in NYC like you said. If there's anything else you want me to try, please don't hesitate to ask. Good luck in your search.
