Armstrong Baronets
There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Armstrong, both in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. One creation is extant as of 2010.
The Armstrong Baronetcy, of Gallen Priory in the King's County, was created on 18 September 1841 for Andrew Armstrong, Receiver-General of Stamps in Ireland and Member of Parliament for King's County. The third Baronet was High Sheriff of King's County in 1914. The Armstrong family was originally from the Scottish Borders.

Famous quotes containing the word armstrong:
“I am black: I am the incarnation of a complete fusion with the world, an intuitive understanding of the earth, an abandonment of my ego in the heart of the cosmos, and no white man, no matter how intelligent he may be, can ever understand Louis Armstrong and the music of the Congo.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
