Augustus was one of the eight children born to John Edward Armstrong and Charlotte Gaylord, who married on 6 Oct 1824 in Benton, Yates, New York. Charlotte had been previously married to Joseph W. Richardson with who she had had two other children--Mary A. (b.1818) and Joseph W. Jr. (b.1820). Augustus' siblings were twin brother Alson B. (1825-1846), James Monroe (1827-1910), Adelia Susan (1829-1915), Amelia Mansfield (1831-1857), Lydia Charlotte (1833-1857), John George (1835-1915) and Mary Elizabeth (1838-1915).
Augustus married Ara Ann Strong on 5 Jun 1850 in Seneca Co., Ohio. He was twenty 24 years old. The couple had four children together--Lucius (b.1851), Dwight Leroy (1854-1927), Harry/Henry (b.1860) and Charlotte "Lottie" (b.1862). Newlyweds Augustus and Ann appeared together on the 1850 Census, living in My Division (the Plymouth area), Marshall, Indiana, enumerated on 19 Sep that year. Around the first of the year, Ann would have discovered that she was expecting their first child, son Lucius, born in August of 1851. Son Leroy would follow in 1854, and son Harry in 1860.
The five of them appeared together on the 1860 Census, living in West Twp. (part of Plymouth), Marshall, Indiana, where A.G. was farming for a living. Harry was five months old and enumerated simply as "Baby". Besides A.G., Ann and the three boys, A.G.'s 25-year-old brother John G. Armstrong was living with the family. Helping Ann out with the three children was 18-year-old live-in housemaid Lydia Vancamp.
In 1862, A.G. and Ann welcomed the only daughter they would have. Little Lottie joined her three brothers, aged 2, 8 and 11. Their happiness would have been short lived, however, as the unthinkable happened the following year and A.G. died on 9 May 1863 at age 38.
