Son of Benjamin Jr. and Elizabeth (Thomas) Armitage. Baptized on May 14, 1721 in Abington, Montgomery County, Pa; actual birthdate was earlier. Husband of Mary (Shubert) Armitage, marriage record not located.
Blacksmith and merchant who imported metal-working tools and an assortment of metal items, such as locks, hardware, and "coffin furniture," and sold them at his shop on Second Street, at the "sign of the crown and anvil."
Originally interred in the Second Presbyterian burial ground on Arch Street. Grave may have been unmarked, defaced or unreadable by the 1860s, because it wasn't located during a cemetery reading prior to clearing the churchyard in 1867, although the burial itself — minus section, lot and grave — is documented in church records. Transferred to Mount Vernon Cemetery in 1867.
