Son of Nathaniel Washington Armstrong & Mahaley Jane Rodgers; husband of Mary Vinyard; father of Annie Bell, John Alexander ("Elic"), Thomas ("Tuff"), Lanty Nathaniel, William Joshua ("Josh"), and Clarence Erby Armstrong.

Uncle Jim was always referred to as "Uncle Jim Knot" in my family. I have no idea why - perhaps he was as tough as a pine knot! I have always gotten the impression that Uncle Jim Knot had some rough and rowdy ways, but aren't the more colorful characters the most interesting?! I remember being told that his wife, "Aunt Mary," would brag about poking people with her hat pin.
