My gggggggrandmother, Margaret Armstrong was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland. She married John Lyon on May 11, 1728 in Ireland. They came to the colonies about 1763 and settled in Cumberland County - now Milford Township, Juniata County. Margaret died in Tuscarora about 1793. Margaret's brother was John Armstrong Sr.. who was born 1717-25 in Brookborough Parish, County Fermanagh, Ireland. He came to the colonies about 1745-48 and settled in Carlisle, PA. He married Rebecca Lyon about 1736 in Ireland. John died 3/8/1795 in Carlisle. Names of other possible brothers and sisters are: Edward, Ann, George, William, and Andrew.
A source says that the father of Margaret and John Sr.. is James Armstrong, 1695-1745, Brookborough, County Fermanagh, Ireland. My cousin recently sent copies of printed material that takes this branch of the Armstrongs back into Scotland around 1528. The information suggests a relation to Sir Thomas Armstrong 1624? - 1684 and John Armstrong of Gilnockie, d. 1528.
As you know, searching for Armstrongs and the right connections for them is no easy task! If you know of a helpful source that could shed some light on these early families originating in Scotland I would greatly appreciate the help.
