    Citation Notes: 
    Even though Find-a-Grave shows that Robert Armstrong's birthday was on the 2/30, it isn't possible because 1754 was not a leap year. 1754 is corroborated by Eager's An Outline History of Orange County. Thus, for the purposes of TEI validation we've altered Armstrong's birthday to 2/28.
