Clara Armstrong died in 1947. She was a teacher but I don't know if she ever taught school in the area. William Mason Armstrong,the son of Kavanaugh,had a large family,most of whom stayed in the area. His wife was also from Madison County,Kentucky. She was Charlotte Grinstead,they married 2 January 1871. Moving to Texas some years after his parents.Her family was connected to the early days of the well known Bybee Pottery. It is still a thriving business today. Another daughter was Elizabeth Armstrong who married George Carpenter there in Fannin County 5 January 1882. He was a cousin to her. I believe he was an attorney;don't think they had any children. Robert C. Moody of Richmond,Ky is writing a book about the Battle of Richmond,which took place in part, on the land of Kavanaugh Armstrong. The family home is still standing and is the site of many activities in late August. It was a beautiful home. The Armstrong's will be a main part of the book and any information concerning their lives in Texas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your interest and help.
