Descendants of
Harmon Armstrong
Generation One
1.
Harmon1 ARMSTRONG was
born in 1765 in Pennsylvania
and died at age 84 on 29 June 1849 in Strasburg
Township, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania.
He was buried in All Saints Cemetery (also known as Carpenter
Graveyard), Paradise Township, Lancaster County. Circa 1794 he married
Mary LINGERFIELD, daughter of Johannes Michael
and
Rebecca (Smith) Lingerfield. She was born in 1775 in Lancaster
County and died 9 March 1853 at age 78 in that county. Mary was buried in All Saints Cemetery.
Harmon was found
on Strasburg
Township,
Lancaster
County
tax lists beginning in 1788, the
earliest year for which tax records have been found for this township.
He was
not on Strasburg
Township
tax rolls the following year and it is not known where he resided for
the
10-year period 1789 to 1799 when his name appeared on the tax last for Bart Township
in Lancaster
County.
Harmon continued to be listed in
Bart
Township
through the 1806 tax
assessment, and he also was enumerated in that township in the 1800
federal
census, confirming his residency. By at least 1808 Harmon was back in Strasburg
Township
and continued living there
until his death. It would appear from tax lists that Harmon never owned
land,
but rather was an ‘inmate,’ a boarder or renter of land whose personal
property
was taxable. Harmon, a laborer, never declared more than one head of
livestock,
a cow, which in 1831 was valued at $10. In that year he paid a tax of
10 cents.
In
addition to the children named below,
Harmon and Mary likely had a son Harmon born circa 1807 who settled in
Perry
County, Pennsylvania. This Harmon’s daughter Elizabeth married the son
of his
brother John Armstrong (see #9 below). Another son may have been Jacob
Armstrong who was on tax lists in Strasburg Township
in 1821 and
1822.
Known children of
Harmon1 ARMSTRONG and
Mary LINGERFIELD, all born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
were as follows:

ARMSTRONG was
born in 1793 and died in Leacock Township, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania in 1870 at age 76 years and 11 months.. He was buried in
Middle Octorara Presbyterian Cemetery, Bart Township, Lancaster County.
George married Letitia[--?--]
who was born circa 1793 in Pennsylvania.
She died 22 October 1850 in Leacock Towsnhip and was buried in Middle Octorara Presbyterian Cemetery..
In the 1850 census for Leacock
Township George
was head of household with his wife and his sister Catharine in the
household.
In the 1860 census, George and his sister were enumerated in the same
household.
+ 3 ii. John
ARMSTRONG, born 27 July 1796; married
Mary HELM/HELLEM.
4 iii. Catharine
ARMSTRONG was born circa 1798 and
died after 1880 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
She was enumerated
in the household of her brother George in Leacock Township, Lancaster
County in
the 1850 and 1860 federal censuses, and lived alone in that township in
the
1870 census. By 1880 she resided in the household of Susan
Armstrong, the widow of her nephew Jacob
Armstrong, son of Catharine’s brother John Armstrong.

appeared on the census of 1850 in Leacock

John2 ARMSTRONG (Harmon1) was born 27
July 1796 in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania.
He died 22 March 1877 in Wayne County, Indiana at age 80, and was
buried in Jacksonburg
Christian
Church Cemetery,
Jacksonburg, Wayne County.
John first appeared
on the tax list for Strasburg
Township, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania
in 1816, joining his father Harman as the only two Armstrong in the
township. His name
appeared on the census
of 1830 in Sadsbury
Township, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, on
the census of 1840 in Strasburg
Township,
Lancaster County,
and on the census of 1850 in Paradise
Township, Lancaster
County.
On 23 March 1860
John and his wife Mary sold their property in Paradise Township
to Samuel and John Kurtz for the sum of $800 and moved, along with
their
younger children and several married members of the family, to Wayne
County,
Indiana, where their daughter Barbara and her husband Samuel Ross
Barefoot had
settled shortly after marrying in 1855. John, Mary, daughter Martha and
son Elam
were in Harrison
Township
in the 1860 federal census with personal property valued at $500 and no
real
estate. John was
working as a laborer
but later turned to farming and was listed in the 1868 Wayne County
Indiana
Directory as such, living in Jacksonburg in that county. By 1870 John was a
tollgate keeper in Washington
Township,
Wayne
County.
In a written
statement by Thaddeus Lewis, Justice of the Peace for Shelby County,
Indiana,
dated 16 April 1913, he states that....'I have the Family Bible of John
Armstrong deceased which was published in 1834....'
Lewis examined the bible to certify the birth
date of Elam L. Armstrong, and a copy of this letter was in Elam's
military file. Unfortunately,
it is not known what happened to the family bible once in the
possession of Elam.
On 29 Febraruy 1820 in Trinity Lutheran Church in Lancaster, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania John
married
Mary HELM who was born 16 January 1801 in Pennsylvania,
likely in Lancaster
County.
She died 16 May
1879 in Wayne County, Indiana, at age 78, and was buried in Jacksonburg
Christian Church Cemetery.
The identity of her parents is unknown. However, in the 1800 federal
census for
Pennsylvania,
enumerated a year before Mary’s
birth, there were three Helm living in Lancaster
County, all
in Strasburg
Township:
George, Jacob and John. By
1810, there was
no George, but a Jacob Helms [sic] was in Bart
Township,
and a John Helms [sic] in Strasburg Township.
In 1820 only Jacob Helm in Bart Township
remained. It is likely one of these men was Mary’s father.

Mrs. Samuel
Barefoot, of your city." In a 27 March 1890 item in the paper, she was
mistakenly referred to as the cousin of Mr. Barefoot (should be Mrs.
Barefoot):
"The family of Samuel R. Barefoot received a letter yesterday
announcing
the death at Philadelphia, Pa., of Mrs. Anna Diffendafer, on last
Saturday. She
was a cousin of Mr. Barefoot, and during a visit here last summer
formed many

Barbara3 ARMSTRONG (John2, Harmon1) was born 28
March 1835 in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania.
She died of influenza at the age of 101 in Cambridge City,
Wayne County, Indiana in the Foote Street
home of son Earl on 25 February 1937. Barbara
was buried 28 February 1937 in Riverside
Cemetery, Cambridge
City.
According to her
obituary, at the time of her death Barbara was the oldest mother in
Wayne
County, Indiana, and had been given wide attention since her 90th
birthday. A newspaper article on the occasion of her 98th birthday
described
her as follows: 'Regular
living habits
help to maintain her excellent health.
She retires at 8 p.m. and arises at 7 o'clock in the
morning. In the
afternoon she naps for two hours.
She likes fruits and vegetables and is
especially fond of grapefruit. Her
daughter makes custards for her frequently because they are a favorite
dessert. Her
eyesight is poor but her
hearing is very good. She
listens
regularly to Lowell Thomas on the radio and likes to hear the Eddie
Cantor
program.'
Barbara married Samuel
Ross BAREFOOT 25 November 1855 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
He was born 3 March 1830 in that county, the son of Job Palmer and
Agness
(McCaskey) Barefoot. His brother William McCaskey Barefoot married
Barbara’s
sister Martha. (see #14 above) According to his death certificate,
Samuel died 23
March 1890 in Cambridge City at
age 60. However,
his headstone shows his date of death
as 25 March 1890, and this was the date recorded in county records. Newspaper accounts give
his age at death as
60 years and 22 days, which, when added to his date of birth, would
make 25 March
correct. Samuel
died of inflammatory rheumatism.
The disease, according to his obituary, was 'most severe in the regions
of the
heart.' He was buried in Riverside Cemetery.
Samuel was a
wagon maker by trade and in the fall of 1853 went west to East
Germantown,
Wayne County, Indiana where he bought and shipped horses to Philadelphia.
He remained in Indiana
about 18 months before returning to Pennsylvania
and
marrying Barbara. The couple returned to Indiana
around 1859, first locating in Dublin,
Wayne
County. After a year they moved to
Milton
in that county where they lived for
three years [1861-1864]. The
two years
following were spent in Pennville [1864-66], followed by three years in
East Germantown
[1866-69] where Samuel established a
carriage factory. He sold his interest in the factory and he, Barbara
and their
family to Cambridge
City
in April 1869. For
a time Samuel sold Adams Queen Washing
Machines, and then for four years was in the hotel business, running
the
'Keystone House' hotel located at the corner of Jones and National Road
and later the ‘Commercial
Hotel.’ In 1877 Samuel went into the poultry business, establishing
Barefoot
Poultry and Company.

Wayne County, Indiana at age 31, and was buried 4 December 1890 in Riverside Cemetery,
Cambridge
City.
His headstone shows his date of
death as 1 December and a notice in the newspaper gives 3 December.
John
married Mary Ann DOLAN 19 July 1889 in Cambridge City.
Mary Ann was born 22 August 1859 in Economy, Wayne
County, Her
father Martin Dolan
emigrated to the United
States
from Ireland
in 1850. Her mother was Bridget Weiss. After John’s death Mary Ann
married
Peter DODDY 14 January 1903 in Wayne County.

1924 in Wayne
County
at age 64, and was buried 11 August 1924 in Riverside Cemetery.
79 iii. William
Barton BAREFOOT was born 8 January
1862 in Cambridge
City, Wayne
County, Indiana and died 15 July 1954 in Muncie, Delaware
County, Indiana at age 92. He was buried 17 July 1954 in Riverside
Cemetery, Cambridge
City, Wayne
County.
William took over the Barefoot Poultry and Egg Company upon his father
Samuel's
death in 1890. In
1897 William purchased
the poultry business of A. W. Bradbury (Samuel's former partner) and
consolidated it with his own company.
The business operated in the Richmond
and
Cowan, Indiana
areas. It was the largest business of its kind when under William's
management. His
trade was exclusively
wholesale with markets chiefly in Boston,
New York City and Philadelphia. Between four and five
thousand chickens and
turkeys were crated and sent east each week.
William was a member of the Masons and Knights of Pythias,
and for two
years served on the Cambridge City Common Council. He was the owner of
Single
G, a world famous pacer voted by leading horsemen in 1950 as the
'greatest
pacer of the first half of the 20th century.'
Single G, foaled in 1910, took part in 434 heats, winning
262 and placing
in 418. He
established a number of
records, including the first pacer to win a race in which three
consecutive
heats were all paced in 2:00 or better; the first horse to win a race
with
three consecutive heats averaging 2:00 or better, and the first horse
to pace
two heats in 1:59 or better in the same race.
Single G's greatness stemmed from the fact that he not
only was very
fast, but he was also one of the most durable campaigners in American
turf
history. He spent
14 years in active
racing, campaigning against the greatest pacers in the world until 1925. In 1923, when he was 13
years old, he set his
record of 1:58 1/2. He
was completely
sound when he retired, and lived until he was 30.
Single G died in 1940 at the farm of Float
Jolly near Tipton, Tipton County, Indiana, and
was buried
there. Float Jolly
was the husband of
Emma Binkley, William's cousin. In
1951
Single G's remains were moved to land donated near the entrance of the
old Cambridge
City
fair grounds on State Route 1. A
granite monument marks his gravesite. Long
a bachelor, at age 61, or circa 1923, William married Grace M. DRISCHEL
in Cambridge
City.
Grace was born 15 May 1880 in Jackson
Township,
Wayne
County,
the daughter of Jacob and Anna
(Smith) Drischel. She died 24 February 1950 at age 69. The cause of
death was
asphyxia by hanging; no autopsy was conducted.
According to her death record, Grace "hanged self in door
way"
of her home at 313 West Front Street
in Cambridge
City.
Recording of her death was delayed by the coroner from its occurrence
in
February 1950 until 4 April 1960, no doubt because an investigation was
necessary due to the unusual nature of her death.
It was said by family members that Grace
committed suicide when police became suspicious that she was slowly
poisoning
her husband William and came to her house to confront her, but this
account has
not been confirmed. It is known that William was a resident of a
nursing home
in Muncie,
Indiana
at the time of Grace’s death, and
that she was nearly blind and had suffered a mild stroke in her home a
month
before she died. Grace was buried 27 February 1950 in Riverside
Cemetery.

suffered very much
therefrom while a prisoner but after joining his regiment and his

Ohio, the son of
Samuel H. and Lavina B. (Dentner) Anson
who were in Washington
Township, Darke
County
in the 1930
federal census. The family story is that Mabel's husband, Will Anson,
left her
shortly after World War I and remarried. However, there is some
evidence that
instead he died, leaving her a widow.
In
the 1920 census for Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts, enumerated
on 9
January 1920, William H. Anson, age 32, born in Ohio, auto inspector in
a body
shop, and wife Mabel, age 27, born in Indiana, were lodging in a
private home
in Amesbury. In the 1930 census, Mabel Anson was a roomer in a home in Cleveland, Cuyahoga
County,
Ohio, age 37, born
in Indiana,
working as a cashier in a drug
store. Her marital status was given as’ widow’. In this day many women
adopted
the label ‘widow’ because of the stigma attached to ‘divorcee,’ so
there may
have been a divorce, as per the family story, but some time after World
War I.
However, since no William or Will Anson with the correct age or birth
place was
found in the 1930 census index, its likely he was deceased, leaving
Mabel a
widow. It is known for a fact that in 1934, Mabel moved to Cambridge City,
Indiana
(from some place not known) to help her elderly grandmother, Barbara
Barefoot,
and it was here she died 16 May 1964 at age 71. Mabel was buried in Riverside Cemetery,
Cambridge City,
