1750s-70s: His first wife and infant died about the time he came to America. Thomas returned to Ireland and married Peggy KING there. Returning to the United States, they had 4 sons and 1 daughter (King, Alexander, Elizabeth, Robert, and Samuel) born in the 1760s-70s.
ca 1765: Daughter Elizabeth DeArmond McElhanie born
1767:
Son King DeArmond born
1769: Son Alexander DeArmond born
1774: Son Robert K (or R) DeArmond born
1775: Son Samuel DeArmond born
1776-79: Thomas volunteered to enlist for 3 years in the Revolutionary War on 17 August, 1776 when he was about 40 or so. (Read more, by Fred Thomas and Tucker Hentz.) After the war, he returned home to Dauphin Co PA.
children John, Sarah, Margaret, and Richard;Richard and Richard Dearmond were the executors." Despite the county residence and surname similarities, there are no indications of a family relationship between Mary and Thomas and Peggy (KING) DeARMOND. The d'ARMOND Families Book on page page 30 mentions that Mary Johnston DERMOND was the step mother of Thomas Dermond of Lancaster Co PA (later Dauphin Co). Mary did not include Thomas, her husband's son, in her will. He later moved to Mecklenburg Co NC. |
1783: According to Fred Thomas, Thomas and Peggy moved from Dauphin Co PA (eastern PA) north to Northumberland County, PA about 1783 (Northumberland Co History says 1793), where their son King (1767-1844) grew to manhood. In 1783, King would have been 16. (In 1793, at 26 King would already have reached manhood.)
1784 Apr 22 marriage: About age 19, Elizabeth DeARMOND (b ca 1765) (d 1838?) married William McELHENIE (b pre-1755 or 1765?) (d 1818)
| 1793 [probably in 1783]: The History of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, (edited by Herbert C. Bell, Published by Brown, Runk & Co. of Chicago, Ill, 1891 pg. 1078) says "The De Armond and Wallace families came from Dauphin county to Northumberland county about 1793, and settled near the present site of the Warrior Run Presbyterian church." But note that the 1790 census shows head of the family Thomas Dearmond already living in Northumberland County. |
Fred Thomas wrote:1790: Census for Dauphin Co PA lists Thomas Arman. (FamilySearch.org does not list the numbers of people living in Thomas's household at that time.)
"After his 3-year enlistment expired in August of 1779, Thomas DeArmond returned to his family in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
*By 1783, he was living in Turbot township, Northumberland County, with 150 acres of land.
*In 1786 he purchased additional land, and
* the census of 1790 shows his family as consisting of himself, wife and 4 sons." [NOTE: His daughter, Elizabeth McElhenie had married in 1784.]
1790: Census for Northumberland Co PA lists Thomas Dearmond. (FamilySearch.org does not list the numbers of people living in Thomas's household at that time.)
Fred Thomas continues:
*In 1791, when he was in his mid-50's, Thomas served for 8 days in the Volunteer Corps of Scouts on the frontiers of Allegheny County in western Pennsylvania, presumably helping to quell one of the Indian uprisings of that period.
*In 1793, he purchased land in Turbot Township from Frederick Watts. 20
The land he purchased in 1793 was apparently near the site of the present Warrior Run Presbyterian Church (in what is now Delaware Township).
*A list of members of the church in 1789 includes Thomas and Robert DeArmond,
*and in 1811 Thomas DeArmond sold a strip of land on the north of the church property to the church for 70 dollars. 21"
1793: The DeARMOND and WALLACE families moved from Dauphin to Northumberland Counties. (source: History of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, edited by Herbert C. Bell, Published by Brown, Runk & Co. of Chicago, Ill, 1891 pg. 1078) [Note: 1790 census suggests they moved there earlier.]
1805: Peggy died in 1805 (aged about 64) per her tombstone at Warrior Run Church Cemetery plot H-12R.
1806: Their older two sons, King (b 1767) and Alexander (b 1769), left Pennsylvania about 1806, taking their families to settle in the Butler County, Ohio area north of Cincinnati and the Ohio River. The other two sons, Robert K. (N, R) and Samuel, continued living in Northumberland County, and their daughter, Elizabeth, married William McELHANIE (various spellings) and stayed in Pennsylvania.
1807: 10 February Thomas's grandson Thomas DeArmond (1807-1893) was born in Northumberland Co PA to Samuel and Esther Wallace DeArmond. History of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. Per the 1880 census, Thomas stayed in Northumberland Co PA, farmed, and never married.
1808: Thomas' grandson John W. DeArmond (1808-1841) born, apparently to Samuel and Hester as they are buried together in the same section of Warrior Run Church Cemetery.
1809: Thomas' granddaughter Margaret K. DeArmond (1809-1865) born, apparently to Samuel and Hester as they are buried together in the same section of Warrior Run Church Cemetery.
1810: Census for Northumberland Co PA lists Thomas Dearmond page 128, line 290, Robert Dearmond, page 128, line 440.
1811: 22 March Thomas' grandson Samuel E. DeArmond (1811-1898) born to Samuel and Esther Wallace DeArmond.
1811: Although the 1860 census (FamilySearch.org) shows that Thomas' grandson Thomas DeArmond (1807-1893) was 49, born in 1811, rather than in 1807, that is probably an error. With no family data from the FamilySearch.org 1860 census, maybe the age 49 was a typographical error. It was Thomas's brother Samuel E. who was born in 1811.
1815: Thomas' granddaughter Hester D. DeArmond (1815-1839) born, apparently to Samuel and Hester as they are buried together in the same section of Warrior Run Church Cemetery.
1816: Thomas was 86 years old when he died in 1816 at Northumberland County, PA per his tombstone at Warrior Run Church Cemetery

| King was named after his mother's KING family. According to Fred Thomas, King moved with his parent's family from Dauphin Co PA (eastern PA) north to Northumberland County, PA about 1783 (Northumberland Co History says 1793), where he grew to manhood.
King first married Hannah HARDIN in Pennsylvania about 1804. In 1806 he and Hannah with their 2 children, and his brother Alexander's family came by flatboat down the Ohio River to settle on land in what is now Dearborn County, Indiana (history). But what is now Dearborn County IN was, in the early 1800s, still part of Hamilton County, Ohio. (source). [People still canoe up the Whitewater River (map)] So the DeArmonds entered the mouth of the Great Miami River, and then pushed the flatboat up the Whitewater River map about two miles above Harrison, Ohio where they landed. King and Hannah had at least 9 children:

They lived in Milton, PA [map] Turbut Township, Northumberland County. Both Robert and Elizabeth died in July, 1826. Her death on 23 July followed a short illness, and prompted him to write or change his will, page 609 and page 610 of the d'Armand book. He was in his early 50s when he died. Sixteen years before, the 1810 census had listed one male child under 10, name unknown, living with him and an adult female. But by the time he and Elizabeth died, their only heirs were some nephews and a niece: | ||
