Notes
a. Note:   Called The Reif, a Knight , fought a duel with Sir Michael Musgrave, Earl of Northumberland, at Otterburne 8/19/1388 and John was killed. John may have lived in a Castle which in former times stood upon the high embankment overhanging the Esk at Gilnockie Bridge, where foundations are still visible, for the near spot was found carved upon a broken slab his insignia, the stirrup of a Knight, and upon another the monogram composed of the letters 'JA' and a tree. To this day the descendants of the old Eskdale families will state that here stood a Castle which belonged to John Armstrong, built much earlier than Gilnockie in the Hollow. His grave is pointed out in Ettleton. Source-Chronicles of the Armstrongs
