      LDS file AFN:1KRM-7F3 and wife file Elizabeth Stahring AFN:1KRK-BW7 submitter: Rex E Stevenson, Jr, 116 Riverlake Dr, Woodstock, Ga 30188-3220 "Information from Rboert Armstrong, 27Jan2000: Archibald first appeared at German Flats in 1760 on the Church records at Stone Arabia. This was for the christening of his son Johannes with his wife Elizabeth Staring. The record states that he was a soldier in the 46th regiment. These were British troops that were stationed there due to the French/Indian war. " "There seems to be some question of when the marriage took place. Not much else is known except by family tradition that he was 'from Pennsylvania, came up the Hudson Valley to the Mohawk River Valley.' "Recent reseach in England at the Military History Library found the record of one of the companies of that regiment, Capt, Frences Legge Company of Foot, dated 1Jun1762 at New York Harbor. It is known that many militia troops were drawn from Pennsylvania at the time of this war. An Archibald Armstrong as Sergeant in a militia company fits the picture, but it remains for the future to determine if they are the saem. Archibald later served in Miliital companies at Stone Arabia as 2nd Lt in the early part of the American Revolution and later as a private, when companies were reorganized." "He had three sons: Archibald, John, and Adam who served in the 1st NY Regiment which was attached to General Washington headquarters. Archibald was a drummer and the other two were fifers. They were at the hanging of Andre and again at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. ****Adam's discharge (at the National Archives) is signed by Washington. It is assumed that the others were there, but they [records] were lost over time." "Before and after the revolution, Archibald was an Indian Trader at the junction of Wood and Canada Cree, near present-day Rome, NY. This was known to his descendants and the location was often pointed out to them. Archaeological research was done in the 1950's and verified the site. The New York archives contains a note: 'For value received I promis to pay on demand to Frederick For or his ---- the sum of 3 pounds 10 shillings and 10 pence New York currency with --full interst from the date --or until paid as -- my hand. German Flats, Februrary the 4th, 1788 with --- Archibald Armstrong. Witness Wilhelm Dygert'." RootsWeb's World Connection Project confirms marriage date abt 1761.
