Hello, David Armstrong of Kirtleton is my 5th g. grandfather. He died 11 Nov. 1813 in Dumfries. His father was William Armstrong (1662-Aft. 1724) William was a merchant traveller (or chapman) in South Britain as a younger man. I don't know for certain who William's parents were, but I have some ideas on that.

In 1717 William married Agnes Bell in Dumfries. Agnes (1672-1688) was the daughter of Richard Bell of Blackethouse and Mary Irving.

David was a very interesting guy! We have lots on him, including things that he wrote. He had Kirtleton because his wife Peggy's parents had owned it earlier. I come down from his oldest son William who joined the British Army and settled in New York after the war.

Hi--

I'm doing so research on the William Armstrong mentioned by lisep.  As a professional historian I would love to compare notes.

Hi Ed--
I'd be happy to do so.  I'm in the midst of exams right now and quite busy.  I should be more free after 18 Dec. Maybe we can talk by phone on or after that date.
