Hi. I'm wondering if someone can help set me straight.
One of my fifth great grandfather's is a man named Robert Armstrong, apparently born in 1783 in Kentucky, and died 1827 in Gabarus.
According to most family trees and websites Thomas Armstrong and Ann Shier are his parents... But I don't know... Something just doesn't fit right. Thomas Armstrong and Ann Shier were married in Halifax, NS in 1787.
Then I found this:

A list of Thomas Armstrong and Ann Shier and their children. No mention of Robert Armstrong. Does anyone have any information I am not aware of or unable to find online? I guess I'm just trying to figure out if Thomas Armstrong and Ann Shier are my proper ancestors or not.
