Thank you, Gene. I don't think that's the same line although maybe related somehow. If anyone on the list is related to the Armstrong descendents of Lt. Robert Armstrong II Birth 1731 in Ulster, Antrim, Ireland Death 1796 in Knoxville, Knox, Tennessee who's descendants live around Nashville today, would love to hear from you.
