Dr. John Armstrong's will mentions sons Alexis Leroy Armstrong and William C. Armstrong, as well as his wife, K.S.D. Armstrong (probably Katherine Divine). Dr. John Armstrong was married at least once before to Mazella Cozart b. PA, in 1835. But Dr. John Armstrong would also have had to be married at least one more time to a woman born in France and possibly another time to a woman born in Virginia or England, according to information provided to census takers (see below). William C. Armstrong (b. VA about 1821) became an Episcopal minister in Wisconsin and is on the 1850, 1860, 1870 census in various counties in Wisconsin. In 1880, he is age 59 in Waupaca, WI, and says he's b. VA, his father England and his mother, b. Virginia. His wife is Hattie, age 44, b. Vermont and daughter Mary S., age 31, b. IN. William C. Armstrong, age 49, appears on the 1870 census in Walworth, WI, with wife Harriet, age 36 b. Vermont, daughter Leontine, age 11, b. WI and son Claudine, age 8, b. WI. In 1900, Olandius Armstrong (probably really Claudius) appears in Oconto, WI, b. 1863, age 37, b. WI, father b. England, mother b. England. He is a physician, with wife, Emma, b. 1866, WI, and daughter Claudine, b. 1896, WI and son John William, b. 1899, WI. Claudine m. Herbert Lord, a civil engineer and they're in the 1930 census in Madison, WI, with son, Richard H. age 5, b. WI. Leroy Armstrong (b. VA about 1830) married Mary Jane Riley in Nashville, Davidson Co, TN in 1850. Leroy Armstrong had at least one half-sister, Adele Doughten Tatem (Mrs. Charles), of Moorestown, Burlington Co, NJ. Mrs. Tatem was b. 1842, IN, and appears in the household of John S. Doughten, b. 1788 in NJ, in Floyd Co, IN in 1850. There is no mother in this household, but there are siblings listed as Claudius, George M. and Claurena. However, her mother, presumably Leroy Armstrong's mother also, was b. in France, according to information on later census. There is another Adelle Doughten on the 1850 census in Burlington Co, NJ. She was b. 1827 or 1829 in NJ and married Nathan H. Buzby 5 Feb 1852 in Burlington, NJ. Would appreciate knowing anything about the wives of John Armstrong, the physician in Jackson Co, WV and the Armstrong family connected with St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Ohio Co, WV and other Armstrong families who might be related. I have information on the descendants of Leroy Armstrong and Mary Jane Riley. Thank you.
