Mr. Armstrong belongs to one of the oldest families of Delaware. Archibald Armstrong, the first of the name to settle here, was born in the parish of Dulhagra, County Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland, and was of Scotch-Irish par- entage. In the latter part of the seventeenth century, he crossed the Atlantic ocean and es- tablished his home in Christiana hundred, New Castle county, Del.

He died on his farm near Centreville, which has always remained in the possession of his descendants, and was buried in the graveyard of the Brandywine Presbyterian church.

William Armstrong, father of William Armstrong, 2, was born on the home farm, and remained there until his death. He owned 200 acres of land, which he cultivated very profitably.
