      > Harry Wright Newman did a genealogy on the Crane family of St. Mary's County that included much information on this family. He gives the death of Rebecca (Jarboe) Armstrong which is confirmed by this newspaper notice. He also said that George Armstrong died as shown in 1885 as shown in the report below, but I think this is a mistake. I found no record of George after 1850 when he and son John were living in Ohio Co., VA (now W. VA).

      > Biography of George S. Gould:
      > December 19, 1889, while in Omaha, in the employ of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, Mr. Gould was united in marriage to Miss Ella Armstrong, a daughter of Maj. George Armstrong, of Omaha. To this union have been born two bright and interesting children, Roberta and Henrietta, both born in Bellwood. Mrs. Gould's father, George Armstrong, was born in Baltimore, Maryland, August 1, 1819, a son of George Armstrong, Sr., a planter of Wheeling, West Virginia. He was of Scotch descent, and his ancestors participated in the Revolutionary war. George Armstrong married Julia Ewing, of Chillicothe, Ohio, where he was engaged in the newspaper business prior to 18 54. During that year, he moved to Omaha, Nebraska, then a mere village, and took a tract of land that is now in the heart of the city. He served in the Third and Fourth territorial legislatures, was mayor of Omaha in 186[ and 1862, was commissioned major of the Second Nebraska Cavalry, and later raised a company of which he was made captain and later promoted to major and brevet lieutenant-colonel, and finally to the office of colonel. This company served in the Civil war. Since the war he has served for nine years as clerk of the district court and has also served as clerk of the supreme court of Nebraska. He was Past Grand Master Mason, thirty-third degree. He practiced law in Douglas county, Nebraska, for many years and was an author of ability and recognized merit. Ella (Armstrong) Gould is his youngest child. Pg. 506.
