Hello. I realise this is an old post but I was wondering if you had managed to clear up
the Armstrong - Carruthers puzzle? I descend from James Little and Janet Armstrong who I believe to be the same Janet or Jannet
Armstrong b 1778 bap 1779 as you mention above.
In the OPR she is listed as the child of Jacob Armstrong and Margaret Carruthers yet I have come across several accounts of her being the child of William Armstrong and Margaret Carruthers. In a copy of a letter dated 1856 from James Little to his Daughter Grace he mentions her that her uncle John Armstrong ( I assume this is Janet Armstrongs brother) has died recently. I think this is John Armstrong b 1777 d1856 if this is the case John's parents are listed in the OPR as being William Armstrong and Margaret Carruthers. I was wondering the same thing as you maybe William and Jacob are the a same person? Thanks, Jamie
