After Archibald died on 23 Dec 1828, his wife Ann and their known children settled in America, for a better life. On the 1850 Ottawa, Lasalle Co., Illinois census, I found lumber merchant John Armour, 39 with $8K in real estate; other Armours: Ann, 63 (about 1787); contruction contractor George, 37 with $8K in real estate and Ann, 28, with $1500 in real estate, all born in Scotland. Produce dealer John, 50, with $45K in real estate and Ann (unmarried), 35, were also on the 1860 LaSalle census. Ann (Sr.) was listed on the 1860 Ottawa, La Salle Co., Illinois Census Mortality Schedule, aged 74 (about 1786), born in Scotland, died Sep 1859 suddenly, of old age.
The gravestone age at death of Archibald's wife Ann, is hard to make out, though it should be a 7 (for 74) based on current data, it's just not legible in the 2019 photo, taken by the late James Adam.
