Immigrated from England or France between 1707 & 1712.
Bought 50 acres from James Chevers in 1712. On that land deed, he (phonetically) spelled his last name as Armond. I believe the name to have originally been Armand/Armond, then over time, Arment.
May have actually been Quaker, according to how he worded his will & by the fact his witnesses were all Quaker. However, his son John was certainly Anglican/Episcopal. So William may have been also. Further research needed to determine what faith he followed.
Married Elizabeth Hall no later than 1715.
Children are:
William
James b. c1717/1718
Sarah b. c1722
Elizabeth b. c1724
John b. c1725

PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS: CONCORD TOWNSHIP PENNSYLVANIA 1683-1983, VOL.1- THE COLONIAL LEGACY
Farming was either the primary or secondary occupation of the olest families in Concord. Of the five families who lived in Concord between 70 and 80 years (Arment, Hall,Pierce, Smith and Walter) all earned their livihood primarily through farming.
The ARMENT family entered Concord by way of William ARMENT who purchased 50 acres from James Chevers in October 1712. William farmed the land for the following 45 years, granted the 50 acres to his son John in 1757. Like his father, John remained a farmer for 41 years. After his death (1798) the tract passed to Esther ARMENT who sold the property to John Newlin in February 1810.
The Following month Isaac ARMENT purchased the family farm from Newlin. The ARMENT's were staunch supporters of the Church of England and John served as a vestryman during the 1760's.

William Arment. Concord
October 8, 1757. July 24, 1761
To son John all the land I live on in Concord containing 50 acres providing maintenance for his mother during life. To son William all wearing apparel. To son in law Jacob Mote and wife Sarah £5. Mentions his 4 grandchildren Thomas, William, John and Jacob Arment.
Executors: Son John and friend Nathaniel Newlin, Sr.
Witnesses: John Palmer, Sr., John Palmer, Jr., William Smith
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Note: The four grandchildren mentioned in the will were children of William's son James & wife Elizabeth Bond. James died in 1748/1749, before the will was written. Had James lived a longer life, I'm confident the family farm would've passed to him, instead of John. Having been the oldest son & with a family.
The memorial picture is of the family crest, which is in the Arment family book for the Delaware County PA Arments who were there in the 18th century. I have him buried here because I've found nor heard of no mention of there ever having been an Arment family cemetery. Nor that he was definitively Quaker. Till I find anything of him being buried elsewhere, I'm placing him here, with the church he may have attended. And since son John was Episcopal.
