Notes
Information from an unpublished draft manuscript titled NORTHEAST TEXAS PIONEERS 1800-1877, copyright by Skipper Steely, 1989, Paris, TX: 'He was the state representative from Lamar and Fannin Counties when the Secession Convention met in late 1860. Elected in November, 1859 to the 8th Texas Legislature, he served two years. On Feb. 6, 1861 he signed an address to the people of Texas against leaving the union. In February of 1866 Armstrong returned to Austin to attend the constitutional convention representing the 25th District, which included Lamar and Hopkins counties. He served as a delegate to the state convention called for June 1, 1868, and in 1870 represented the 11th District (Lamar and Fannin Counties) in the House of Representatives. Despite having voted against Secession, he had previously taken an oath to support the Confederacy. Thus he was declared ineligible to serve in 1870, and was replaced by H. H. Van Noy. Armstrong served in a combined office as the Lamar County and District clerk immediately after the Civil War, and again in 1869. He and his wife, Leanah McMillian (Oct. 1, 1816- Aug. 1, 1855) are both buried in the Paris Cemetery, along with a daughter, Jany Leanah (Nov. 29, 1885- Sep. 21, 1886.
