Amon "Amos" Armstrong was the middle of three known children born to Margaret and Edward Armstrong of New York. Their other two children, Dorcas and Elisha Armstrong, were also born in New York. All three were baptised by Ebenezer Martin, Minister of the Gospel on February 4, 1785 in Ballston, Saratoga County, New York.

Father Edward Armstrong was born in Bedford, Westchester County, New York on the 8th of December 1758. He served during the Revolutionary War in the 1st Regiment of the Westchester County Militia.

Amon married Martha Patty Doty in 1804 in New York, and from this marriage were born 10 children, two of whom died as young children. All children were born in New York.

An article appearing in the "Mercer Dispatch and Republican" newspaper some years later, said the Armstrong family moved to Mercer County, Pennsylvania in 1832. It was thought that they bought land from the Government Agent of Pennsylvania.

Amon and Martha spent the rest of their lives in Mercer County. A tombstone was erected in their honor during the Armstrong Reunion in August 2015 in Henderson Cemetery in Hendersonville, Pennsylvania.
