Children of Madison & Jane:
1) Francis Armstrong (1841-1858)

=======================
THE JASPER WEEKLY COURIER
August 20, 1858
Died at his residence four miles west of Jasper on August 12th 1858, after a severe attack of congestive fever, of some six days continuance, Mr. Madison Armstrong, in the forty-second year of his age.
Brother Armstrong was born in Kentucky and when quite young emigrated to Indiana with his Father, who was one of the first settlers of Dubois county. At the age of sixteen, Brother Armstrong made a profession of faith in Christ; some ten years later he joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in which he lived a consistent life and died a victorious death.
His afflictions were endured with Christian fortitude-and his expressions of resignation evidenced an unshaken confidence in the living Redeemer. As a Christian he was firm and consistent though modest and unassuming; as a neighbor he was loved and lamented by all; as a citizen he was justly held in high regard by all who knew him. But not withstanding these noble traits of character, death enters and there is no defense.
