In my last post(4-8-05), the record indicated therein, shows William Armstrong's intention to marry Elizabeth Mary Clark in 1854 in the Smith Township of Mahoning County. The marriage actually took place the following year, 1855, according to the pension records for William Irwin Armstron. Elizabeth Mary Clarks' family was found still living in Canfield, Ohio in 1860. Her father was William Clark, age 60, a physician, living with his wife,Mary A, (50 years) and three persons; Minerva (30 years), Catharine H (11 years) and Clark Armstrong (15 years). All of these persons in this census record were born in Ohio except for the head of the house, William Clark who was born in Ireland. This fact leads me to believe that Armstrong's and Clark's were closely related before the marriage of William Armstrong to Elizabeth Mary Clark.
Conclusion: Perhaps by tracing the Clark line back in time, it will lead to a connection with the Robert Armstrong family? RHB
