The Armstrongs were among the early settlers in Canada. One branch of the clan came from Cumberland England, and settled in Ontario where they owned a farm and saw-mill. Their son, William Armstrong, was born in Ontario in 1842. William and his brother moved west to the Rossburn district of Manitoba in 1879, where they filed for homesteads, and were later joined by others from the Armstrong clan.
In 1920, William's daughter recalled the Armstrong's early days in Rossburn. Her story paints an interesting picture of the early settlers, and is reproduced in issue 77 of The Armstrong News for Association members.
