      "Markdale and Flesherton", p. 86, states that he died "April 24, either 1887 or
      1897, 88 years and 10 months." This is from an interview with Thorpe Wright,
      printed in the Toronto Globe in 1923. In "William Armstrong and His
      Descendants", dates are given as 1808 - 1897. The month of June is a guess,
      based on calculation from his age at death.

      immigration as ca. 1850. Year of marriage stated to be 1831. Residence is a log
      house.
