What is recorded here
William Armstrong is a birthplace in Lisburn, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the American politician drew his first breath there on 23 December 1782. Maybe the house still holds the shape of a boy learning to speak. Imagine him looking back across the water, not forward into history.
Why this person is known: American politician (1782-1865)
