- According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
Eliza Jane Winder, who was born between 1811 and 1818 (probably 1816), married Worden Armstrong, probably in Belmont County, Ohio. Although no marriage record was found in Belmont County, the IGI reports that the marriage took place there on 18 March 1837. A search of the 1850 census records for Belmont County found, in Wheeling Township, a listing (dwelling 1698, Family 1728), for the family of Worden Armstrong, as follows:
Worden Armstrong, age 42, WM, Farmer, born Pa
Eliza J. Armstrong, age 34, WF, born Ohio
David Armstrong, age 12, WM, born Ohio
George Armstrong, age 11, WM, born Ohio
Hannah Armstrong, age 6, WF, born Ohio
Amanda Armstrong, age 4, WF, born Ohio
Mary Armstrong, age 1, WF, born Ohio
The census records of 1860 and 1870 for Belmont County show that two more children were born to Worden and Eliza Jane Winder Armstrong: John, born in 1853, and Margaret E., or Elizabeth, as she was known in the 1870 census, who was born in 1856. Worden Armstrong was the son of George and Mary Armstrong. George Armstrong's will was probated in Belmont County in September 1849 and names as his legatees his wife Mary, son Warden Armstrong, daughters Margaret Ferguson, Nancy H. Armstrong, and Elizabeth J. Armstrong, as well as six grandchildren -
George Crozier, Robert Crozier, George Penrose, George Armstrong, George A. Campbell, and George Brokaw. According to grave markers found in Tombstone Inscriptions and Family Records of Belmont County, Ohio, by Esther Weygandt Powell (1969), several members of this Armstrong family are buried in Crabapple Cemetery, Wheeling Township, as follows:
George Armstrong, died 1849, aet 75 years.
Mary Armstrong, wife of George, died 1868, aet 88 years.
Warden Armstrong, died 1877, aet. 77. (Census records for 1850, 1860, 1870 show Warden's birth year as 1808.)
Eliza Armstrong, died 1885, aet. 69 years (wife of Warden).
George Armstrong, died 1858, aet. 19 years
David Armstrong, 1838-1879
Deed records of Belmont County (Vol. 69, p. 222), contain a deed of 15 October 1877, by which the "heirs of Warden Armstrong, deceased, of Belmont County", named as Eliza J. Armstrong, David Armstrong, Hannah A. Dobbins, Amanda Armstrong, Mary J. Armstrong. M. E. Armstrong, and Samuel H. Dobbins, conveyed 5 tracts of land to John Armstrong, probably the son of Warden and Eliza J. Armstrong. Samuel H. Dobbins, probably the husband of Hannah Armstrong Dobbins, was resident in Boulder County, Colorado at the time his signature on the above document was notarized.
According to Belmont County death records (vol. 1, p. 144) Warden Armstrong died 31 August 1877, aged 70 years, 7 months and 2 days. He was married, born in Pennsylvania, a resident of Wheeling Township, and died of typhoid fever. His son, David Armstrong, died 15 October 1879, aged 41 years and 4 months. He was married, born in Wheeling Township, a resident of Richland Township, a farmer by occupation, and died of typhoid (vol. 1, p. 194, Belmont County, Ohio Death Records)..
