present from her father in the year 1842. A sweet glorious day, Isabella dear. n Samuel Sr. came out to Canada and married again. He sent for his children who were taken care of by relatives in Ireland as he could afford their passages. Marryann was 10 and Samuel Jr. was 8 and they came out together. Eliza didn't come to North America until after she was married. She came to NY State and she married a man by the name of Allison who was an Irishman. Now I'm going to give you a list of information. Mother has this written from Armstrong family bible. And then in brackets she has (my paternal grandfather) Samuel Armstrong (Jr.) of Trafalgar and Elizabeth Gray of Trafalgar were married in 1861 in Hamilton Ont. by J.G. Geddis, Rector, in Hamilton. They had 7 children. Willy, born Mar. 17, 1863, and died Sept. 20, 1864; Charles E. born Aug. 15, 1864 and died March 18, 1865; Annie born Mar 19, 1866; Fred born Oct. 20, 1868; Charles born Apr. 22, 1872; Mervin born May 30,1875; and Edith Aug. 29,1877. The marriages of these surviving children are: Annie and Herbert Litchfield on Mar. 17, 1884; Fred and Mary Andrews on Aug. 28, 1895; Edith and Jack Duncan Jan. 12, 1897; Charles and Mary (known as Minnie) Ellis, on Dec. 20, 1899; and Mervin and Mary Jane (known as Birdie) Black, married on July 21, 1902. The children from these marriages are listed as follows: Annie and Herbert Litchfield had a daughter Hazel and a son Mervin.; Fred Armstrong had three daughters: Myrtle, Madge and Beatrice. Charles had one daughter, Marjorie; Edith had four daughters and three sons,' Cameron, Shirley, Hilda and Jean; Stewart, Gordon and Jack. Mervin had Mildred May, John (Jack) Alan and Mary Eileen. Samuel Armstrong died Feb. 28, 1911. Elizabeth Gray died May 24, 1932. The deaths oftheir children are as follows: Annie Litchfield died Jun. 11, 1952; Charles died Feb. 28,1932; Edith died Mar, 1934; Fred died Jan. 2, 1940 and Mervin died Nov. 12, 1944. Mother told me that all three male Armstrong boys (Fred, Charles and Mervin) married gals whose first name was Mary although two had nicknames. Kind of a coincidence isn't it.
