Leitrim / Re: Armstrong/Booth

Robert Armstrong's daughter Eliza (1784-1871) married Thomas Cook(e) and their daughter Rosalinda (1829-1886) married famous Canadian lumberman J.R. Booth in 1853 in Quebec province.
Robert Armstrong died on Jan. 30, 1850 and is buried in Abbots Corner, Que., close to the Vermont border. Apparently he was living in St. Armand, Quebec in 1825 and moved to Berkshire, Vermont in 1838 and became an American citizen in 1843. His wife Ann died in 1871 and is buried at Abbots Corner as well.
I've obtained this information through research I'm doing on a proposed biography of J.R. Booth, and would appreciate any background information you might have on the Armstrongs and Booths and especially their connection to Leitrim or Roscommon counties.
