William Forrester ARMSTRONG
Mary DENMAN
Clarissa A. CONKLIN
Elizabeth MINOR

Husband: William Forrester ARMSTRONG
Birth: 17 Oct 1819, Pittsford, Ontario [now Monroe] Co., NY
Death: 24 Mar 1881, Piqua, Miami Co., OH
Disposition: buried Bethel Cemetery, Cardington, Morrow Co., OH

Marriage-1: 28 Oct 1837, Marion Co., OH

Birth (based on average age at first marriage for a female): ca. 1818
Birth (according to secondary sources): 26 Mar 1823

William's wife in the 1840 census was born 1810-20, so unless she was enumerated in the wrong age class, the 1823 birthyear is incorrect. Either that or William's wife is not the daughter of Andrew & Eleanor or secondary sources are wrong about the birthdate of their daughter.
