      ; NB: I only speculate that the father of these Armstrongs, was the James Armstrong mentioned in the following accounts. This is based in part on Armstrong's comment (below). GA Vaut
Per Armstrong [1902:374]:
     "John Armstrong or Jack Armstrong, an Indian trader, was murdered by the Indians at the Narrows in Juniata, Pennsylvania, in 1744. His body was discovered by his brother, Alexander Armstrong, and a number of others, among whom was a James Armstrong. In an Indian raid thereafter the wife of James and two of his children were taken prisoners by the Indians. This was James of the Juniata district. (Day's Hist. Coll. of the State of Pennsylvania, p. 465.)"

Per Day [1843:465-6]:
     "On the twenty-second of July, a party of sixty Indians appeared before Fort Granville, and challenged the garrison to combat ; but this was declined by the commander, in consequence of the weakness of his force. The Indians fired at and wounded one man belonging to the fort, who had been a short way from it—yet he got in safe ; after which they divided themselves into small parties, one of whom attacked the plantation of one Baskins, near Juniata, whom they murdered, burnt his house, and carried off" his wife and children ; and another made Hugh Carroll and his family prisoners.
     "On the thirtieth of July, Capt. Ward, commanding at Fort Granville, left the fort with all his men, except twenty-four under the command of Lieut. Armstrong, to guard some reapers in Shearman's valley. Soon after the captain's departure, the fort was attacked by about one hundred Indians and French, who, having assaulted it in vain during the afternoon and night of that day, took to the Juniata creek, and, protected by its banks, attained a deep ravine, by which they were enabled to approach, without fear of injury, to within thirty or forty feet of the fort, to which they succeeded in setting fire. Through a hole thus made, they killed the lieutenant and one private, and wounded three others while endeavoring to put out the fire. The enemy then offering quarter to the besieged if they would surrender, one Turner immediately opened the gate to them. They took prisoners twenty-two soldiers, three women, and some children, whom they loaded with burdens and drove before them. The fort was burned by Capt. Jacobs, pursuant to the order of the French commander. When the Indians reached Kittanning, they put Turner to death with the most horrid tortures. They tied him to a black post, danced around him, made a great fire, and having heated gun-barrels red hot, ran them through his body. Having tormented him for three liours, they scalped hun aUve, and at last held up a hoy with a hatchet in his hand to give him the finishing stroke.“.1,2,3 GAV-6.

     Elizabeth Armstrong was born on 14 January 1761; The evidence for Elizabeth's date of birth is mixed.
     The 1800 census (Seneca, Ontario Co., NY) shows one adult female aged "26 thru 44", i.e., born 1756-1774.
     Her 17 Sept. 1810 obituary says she died "Ae about 45" (i.e. ca 1765).
     The M. Agnes Howard McClarren chart shows b.1761.
     Daquine, et al [2006] says she was born 14 Jan 1761. (No source is cited)
     She would have been born ca 1752 if she was the dau. of the James Alexander who was kidnapped by Indians, and released in 1756 ca 4 years old.2,3,4,5 She married Thomas Howard, son of (?) Howard, on 17 March 1783 at Mexico, Cumberland Co. (then), Pennsylvania, USA,
;
Lozer [23 Jan 2016] cites a book titled "Thomas Howard & Elizabeth Armstrong Howard & their descendents", by Margaret Dequine; Mary Ann Hoppe; and Carolyn K Howard, and published/printed in Sudbury, Ohio ca 2007 as his source for the marriage date.
     The 17 March 1783 date of marriage is from SAR Application #40442 and may not be accurate since their daughter Sarah was already alive in 1783 when she was mentioned in her Uncle Robert's June 1783 will.6,7,1,8,9
Elizabeth Armstrong died on 17 September 1810 at Benton Center, Yates Co., New York, USA, at age 49; Geneva Gazette, 26 Sept. 1810, p. 3, column 3: "In Benton, on Tuesday the 17th inst. Mrs. Elizabeth Howard, Ae about 45, comfort of Capt. Thomas Howard.3
      ; Mark Lozer, who has researched the family of Thomas Howard, has provided me with a copy of a 1770 will of a William Armstrong of Middleton Twp, Cumberland Co., PA which mentions a daughter, Elizabeth. Mark believe that this is the Elizabeth who married Thomas Howard. I do not because I don't think this William Armstrong is related to the Armstrong family of Fermanagh Twp and I believe the links between Thomas Howard and that Fermanagh Armstrong family to too strong to ignore.

Sarah Armstrong1

F, #77700, b. before 1765
FatherNN (James?) Armstrong1
Last Edited16 Mar 2016
     Sarah Armstrong married John Pauly.1
Sarah Armstrong was born before 1765; Sarah is married in the 1783 will of Robert Armstrong and probably at least 18 by then.1
      ; In his will, Robert Armstrong leaves bequests to the children of his sister and brothers. He also leaves a bequest to "Sarah Pawley, the wife of John Pawley". This is the only person whose relationship he does not describe, but I assume that Sarah is either a married sister or possibly a married niece.1
Sarah Armstrong is mentioned in the will of Robert Armstrong on 24 June 1783 at Fermanagh Township, Cumberland Co. (now Juniata Co.), Pennsylvania, USA; Transcription of will by G. Vaut 19 Dec 2014:
