Posted on: Knox Co. Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/10929 Surname: Armstrongs, Terpenings, Anderson, Osborn, Kelley, Shenaut ------------------------- I'm a descendant of Nicolina Armstrong her father's name was John Armstrong. There is a Hugh Alexander Armstrong who was his brother and had some of the children you have mentioned. The Armstrongs and Terpenings married around this area. They lived in Warren/Knox Counties. So, if you are related to the Armstrong's in this area this is where they came from. You are welcome to email me. I have a book that was given to me in the '70s. It has the early Armstrongs that came here from Ireland. But I've also found out they may have came from Scotland instead. But I haven't gotten this verified yet. Thanks and hope this helps you. Foxie
