In 1838 the Armstrong family departed Clarksburg, Harrison County, Virginia now West Virginia, including eight children, to Clark County, Illinois, where five more children including Sarah were born. In 1855 the family moved to an 80 acre farm in Liberty Twp., Ringgold County, Iowa, eventually totaling 180 acres. Two sons would farm nearby.
