    1. [TN-CHESTNUTRIDGECOUSINS] JOHN ARMSTRONG b. 1784, d. 1847 LCT
    2. ARMSTRONG and KING researchers need your help! John ARMSTRONG, son of Thomas and Mary "Mollie" BROWN in his will he gives everything to his son Josiah R. and ------"That he provide for the Support and comfort of his mother during her natural life and also to Support and raise my four Grand children that is to Say, John Wesley ARMSTRONG, Jasper Newton ARMSTRONG, George Higgins and Sarah Jane ARMSTRONG". 1. Everyone has these "Grand Children" as his and Sarah Frances KING'S children not grand children. 2. Why was ARMSTRONG not written in after George Higgins name like all of the other children? 3. Notes I found in Ruth MORGAN research has: "John ARMSTRONG m. Mary Delia KING, then list these children; John Wesley, Jasper Newton, George Higgin, Sarah Jane, Juliann, Margaret, Thomas "Hi" Josiah and David. This are all of the names of John and Sarah KING'S children except she has Juliann and I have Mary Ann and she has all of the respective spouses as I have. She questions her notes "son of John and Sallie KING ARMSTRONG, did he marry twice"? 4. I do not have a spouse for George Higgin ARMSTRONG. Could he have been George (surname) HIGGIN? There was a George HIGGIN married to Sarah L. STONE 11-July-1850, this does not sound likely. Also there was a write up on John ARMSTRONG, son of Thomas and Mary BROWN ARMSTRONG, in the Petersburg Homecoming 1986 publication. It states:"John ARMSTRONG was an entry officer of claims for the western North Carolina lands", While there was a John ARMSTRONG brother to Martin ARMSTRONG, both of who were surveyers and were entry officers of claims. They both gave themselves 5000 acre grants in Lincoln CO. and Giles CO. and perhaps more. This John ARMSTRONG was not our John, was he? I have not found out what happen to this John but his brother Martin's people went on to Ohio or ILL. VICKY MOORE, you said there was a write up on John ARMSTRONG in Goodspeed can you give me some of the details? Can anyone shed any light on the above????? Julia
