   Solomon went to Smith Co, Texas, just south of present day Tyler,
sometime before 1850 and claimed land as his pension right for
service in the War of 1812.  A family tale has it that his son,
Jackson Calvin, went to work for a man there who refused to pay him.
In an altercation over this, Solomon struck the man with a fireplace
tool.  Fearing reprisal, he left his lands to his mentally retarded
daughter Elizabeth, asked her brother William, to care for her and
returned to Arkansas where he settled and raised the younger
children.
  Solomon died in Rogers from injuries suffered in a fall.  His son,
Elijah, in claiming his veteran's burial costs explained it as "fell,
brained hisself, and was insane til he died."
  According to the 1850 census of Smith County, Solomon was born in
Virginia.
  He enlisted in the War of 1812 at Adair Co, KY and served as a
private in Captain Adkisson's Company. He was honorably discharged at
Columbia, Adair Co, KY in 1814.
  He married Ann at Cumberland, Harlan Co, KY in 1814. They had a son,
Solomon, born in 1816 and a son, William, born in 1818, both births
in KY. Another son, Elijah, was born in Missouri. The 1850 Census has
the family living in Tyler, Smith Co, TX. Six children living with
them : Elizabeth, b. 1832, MO; James, b. 1834, MO; Etta, b. 1836, MO;
Jackson, b. 1838, MO; Edmund, b. 1842, AR; and John, b. 1844, AR.
  In 1857, Solomon and Ann left their children in Tyler and went by
horseback to Bentonville, Benton Co, AR, where they lived with their
son, William, until their deaths. Ann died first. Solomon died at age
89 on July 26, 1879 following injuries received in a fall.

My Notes
======================================================================
Most of the Smith County Armstrongs moved on to Navarro County and
settled in the Corsicana area. Elizabeth was deaf and dumb and might
have been retarded but her mental state was typical of deaf children
who were never able to learn in the normal fashion. In 1860, she is
living with Jackson and his wife. In 1870, she is with William
Warfield and family. In 1880, Elizabeth is living with Haywood
McCarley and her niece Lucy, daughter of William. I found no death
record for her.

This is my weak link in the Armstrong line. I have no proof that
Solomon is the son of this William.
