Posted By Norman Gasbarro on July 19, 2018
John Armstrong, about 41 years old, enrolled on 22 July 1863, at Philadelphia, in the 3rd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, Battery F, as a Private. He was mustered into service on the same day at the same place. The record from the Pennsylvania Archives (shown above), indicates that he was discharged on 18 May 1864 on a Surgeon’s Certificate of Disability, by order of Major General Butler.

In the Census of 1890, the widow Susan Armstrong reported that her husband, John B. Armstrong, served in the same regiment and company at the same rank, but for slightly different dates, enrolling on 20 September 1862 and discharge on 7 June 1865. Susan Armstrong gave her post office address as Hegins, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.
If this is the same John Anderson, then he died prior to the 1890 Census.
As of this posting, nothing else is known. Readers are invited to provide further information.
