Biography

Thomas Creighton Armstrong was born August 7, 1850, the son of George Armstrong and Priscilla Ann Morris of Kempt, Hants County, Nova Scotia^[1]

On October 12, 1871, he married Annie Terfry, the daughter of Mark Terfry and Olivia Kelley of Burlington, Nova Scotia ^[2]. Their children included^[3]:

1. Alfred, born 1872^[4]
2. Amanda, born 1875^[5]
3. Winifred "Minnie", born 1890^{[6] [7]}

The family was in Boston in 1880^[8], and in Nova Scotia in 1881^[9], and Minnie was born in Massachusetts circa 1890, so they were mobile between the two locations. This led one genealogist to state Thomas came 'from Boston'.

Thomas Creighton Armstrong died on December 23, 1928^[1], and was buried in Kempt Shore.
