Edward Armstrong added to the land already acquired by his father, until eventually he owned farms extending along a nearly two mile frontage of the Hudson River, and built a substantial house, the Edward Armstrong Mansion, now demolished, but with its huge Ionic columns on display in the grounds of the Storm King Art Center.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://brickcollecting.com/roseton.htm )〕 His grandfather was Colonel William Armstrong, who came from Scotland with the British Army during the American Revolution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gomez.org/Armstrong.html )〕 His grandfather was present at the Battle of Yorktown, as was his wife's grandfather, Colonel Nicholas Fish, but he was on the winning side.

William Henry Armstrong (and his family) lived at Gomez Mill House from 1835 to 1904, the earliest surviving Jewish residence in the US, and now a museum, with several of Maitland Armstrong's artworks on display.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hudsonrivervalley.com/Details.aspx?sid=6f5e7cca-ce3e-4b57-a281-94cad7f2de88 )〕 In the autumn of 1858, Maitland Armstrong sailed to Italy, arriving just before the new year, where he spent months touring the country and making illustrations of the scenery and ancient monuments.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maitland Armstrong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
