"The Goodspeed History of Williamson Co TN":
"William Armstrong Biography-
William Armstrong, deceased, was born in VA in the year 1809, and like the average country boy received his education in the primitive schools. In 1813 he came to TN and located in Williamson Co. He entered on life's journey with Miss Elizabeth Leigh as his companion Nov 2, 1836. Mrs. Armstrong was a daughter of Benjamin Leigh, a native of NC, who immigrated to TN in 1812 and married Martha Whitby. Only two children blessed the union of Mr and Mrs Armstrong: William W and Benjamin F, both of whom are dead; William W died Nov 18, 1860 and Benjamin F died while in the service of his country during the late Civil War between the North and the South. Our subject moved to the Seventh District, Williamson Co in 1838, to the place known as "Rocky Hill," where he died Feb 20, 1879. He was a man who had the respect and esteem of all who knew him, and was a worthy member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Mrs Armstrong is still living at "Rocky Hill," six miles north of Franklin and is a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South."
