Notes:
Solomon William ARMSTRONG
* The 1850 Census says he was born in Virginia and the 1870 says Kentucky.
* I have no PROOF that OUR Solomon is the son of THIS William.
* He was born in Virginia or Kentucky.
* Solomon went to Smith Co., Texas, just south of present day Tyler, sometime before 1850 and claimed land as his pension right for service in the War of 1812. A family tale has it that his son, Jackson Calvin, went to work for a man there who refused to pay him. In an altercation over this, Solomon struck the man with a fireplace tool. Fearing reprisal, he left his lands to his mentally retarded daughter, Elizabeth, asked her brother, William, to care for her and returned to Arkansas where he settled and raised the younger children. Solomon died in Rogers from injuries suffered in a fall. His son, Elijah, in claiming his veteran's burial costs explained it as "fell, brained hisself, and was insane til he died."
* According to the 1850 census of Smith County, Solomon was born in Virginia.
* He enlisted in the War of 1812 at Adair Co, KY and served as a private in Captain Adkisson's Company. He was honorably discharged at Columbia, Adair Co, KY in 1814.
* He married Ann at Cumberland, Harlan Co, KY in 1814. They had a son, Solomon, born in 1816 and a son, William, born in 1818, both births in KY. Another son, Elijah, was born in Missouri. The 1850 Census has the family living in Tyler, Smith Co, TX. Six children living with them : Elizabeth, b. 1832, MO; James, b. 1834, MO; Etta, b. 1836, MO; Jackson, b. 1838, MO; Edmund, b. 1842, AR; and John, b. 1844, AR.
* In 1857, Solomon and Ann left their children in Tyler and went by horseback to Bentonville, Benton Co, AR, where they lived with their son, William, until their deaths. Ann died first. Solomon died at age 89 on July 26, 1879 following injuries received in a fall.
* Solomon and Anna are listed from 1852-1855 in the Roll Books of the Seven Leagues Church. "Seven Leagues, Texas and the Baptist Church of Christ at Seven Leagues. Located near present-day Noonday not far from the Neches River in southwestern Smith County. This article submitted by Wilma Thedford comes from a book belonging to Lois Cambern Marsh, 2200 Evergreen, Pampa, TX 79065, entitled "They Came to Stay." Lois March, the author of this book, was a descendant of the Kutch and Cambern families. The Seven Leagues Society was a member of the Jacksonville Circuit, Tyler District, Methodist Episcopal Church South, East Texas Conference. All names copied according to the clerk's spelling."

William Warfield ARMSTRONG
William moved to Texas from Benton Co, Arkansas, between the summer of 1860 and 1864 when his daughter Virginia was born.
William Warfield petitioned the court for guardianship of his sister, Elizabeth, who was of unsound mind. Solomon had left her his land when he returned to Arkansas. The original petition was filed on January 8, 1869 and granted on January 25th. An inventory filed with the court by William on January 26, 1869 shows 272 acres valued at $500. William received several disbursements for building 'cribs and smokehouses' in 1870 and later. He sold the land in parcels and the last was sold by January 23, 1875. By 1880 Lydia, his wife, is counted as a widow in the Smith County census.

Robert ARMSTRONG
* Benton Co, AR, Circuit Court
State vs. Robert Armstrong. In May, 1845, the defendant, Robert Armstrong, was indicted and tried for the crime of murder, and acquitted. The offense was committed in another county. [I don't know if this is the right Robert but it would explain why I can't find anything on him.]

Elijah William ARMSTRONG
* Elijah's property, a perfect square, encompassed most of what is now Prairie Creek Park (the southern part up to about the campground and including part of the marina) and the northeast portion of the community of Prairie Creek. The northwest corner was along Summers Road just north of Grace Lane and the southern end of South Old Dutch Road points toward the southeast corner behind the lots in the cul de sac - this corner is still defined by present-day properties. The northwest corner is not as clearly defined now but included all the properties on the north side of Grace Lane. I believe Summers Road has claimed the tip of the corner. Remember that this lake wasn't present during Elijah's lifetime; the dam was constructed in 1960-1966. There are also patents for Jackson, Solomon (the younger?) and William (not Warfield?) in this township. Jackson's land (1889) includes Elijah's original homestead and the quarter just east of it (now mostly under water). Solomon's patent (1894) is the same as Elijah's original homestead. William's place (1875) was west of Bentonville along the western edge of the airport.
* Elijah operated a cable ferry at the War Eagle Mill in Benton Co, Arkansas. He homesteaded 160 acres that is now partially covered by a man made lake just east of Rogers, AR. Per the Rogers Democrat of August 14, 1907, Elijah died at 6 am on a Saturday. Elijah is buried in the Grimes family cemetary with his father, Solomon, in Benton Co.
* Elijah was married 4 times. He homesteaded 180 acres of land at Rogers, AR, where he raised four families. After his death, his last wife stayed on with her daughter and raised vegetables for sale. After Nancy died, the daughter married Elbert Williams. Their son Wateman Williams built a fine brick home and he and his wife lived there. A Betty Armstrong lived on the property at the time of this report. Elijah, his last 3 wives and children - Homer [Horace?] and Washie - are buried in the Grimes Cemetery near Rogers, AR. Source-war records, family Bibles, court records, and descendents. (Mildred Armstrong Gilman.)
