The will of Robert Armstrong recorded in Essex Co. VA in 1708 left a tract of land to his grand daughters Ann and Hannah (BLACKSTONE) jointly.

For several years it was thought that their name may have been Armstrong also but no proof of this was found.

More research in the records of Essex Co. disclosed the fact that the second wife of Argyle Blackstone was Elizabeth Armstrong, daughter of Robert Armstrong, and that Argyle and Elizabeth had daughters named Ann and Hannah.

No marriage record of Ann was found but there is a record of the marriage of Hannah and John Zachary.

The records of Spottsylvania Co. show that in 1723 John & Hannah Blackstone Zachery and James & Ann Blackstone Stodgill/Sturgill sold the tract of land given to Ann and Hannah by the will of Robert Armstrong.

These records leave no doubt that the wife of James Stodgill/Sturgill of Orange (Greene) Co. VA was Ann Blackstone, daughter of Argyle Blackstone and Elizabeth Armstrong.

John Zachary and Hannah later settled near James and Ann in present Greene Co. and the early Orange Co records show that they witnessed deeds and other documents for each other and owned adjoining land.
