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. 1861 Census. All are born in Ireland except Richard. This fixes the year of immigration as ca. 1850.
