Armstrong-Frierson Family Ancestry

The Scots-Irish Armstrong family immigrated to South Carolina in the early 18th century from Ireland, eventually migrating to Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee and Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee.

Armstrong

The progenitor of the Armstrongs in America, James Armstrong, born about 1639 in Scotland. He and his wife, Mary Yates, on account of the Religious persecution which was common at the period, were compelled about 1670 to leave the lands they occupied in the Dumfriesshire, Scotland. They settled on the townlands of Ballykine, County Down Ireland. They were staunch Presbyterians as were all the Scotch-Irish of the day. His grandson, James, born in 1703 in County Down, Ireland, and his wife, Janet Blakeley, immigrated to America about 1732 to Williamsburg District, Craven County, South Carolina. His grandson, James, born in 1764, and his wife, Agnes Frierson, migrated from South Carolina to Maury County, Tennessee & are buried there. Both James, as a 16 year old, and Agnes' father, Capt. William Frierson, fought at the Battle of King's Mountain which turned the tide of the American Revolution. Their son, Elias James, born in 1787, married Elizabeth McCauley Frierson, both born in South Carolina and both buried in Zion Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Maury County. Their son, William Osgood, born in 1811, and his wife, Mary E. Smith, born in 1815, had Dr. William James Armstrong, Civil War Surgeon and Yellow Fever Hero in Memphis who was born in 1839 in Columbia.
