Stewart Armstrong.-Born in Greenbrier; moved to Fayette. Does not know for what he was arrested. Voted against secession, but when the State went out he felt bound to sustain it. Opposed to the formation of a home guard. Had nothing to do with the Northern army or Union men. Prisoner was proved by Mr. Alderson to be a man of good character. I recommend his discharge on taking the oath of allegiance.
