Records of daughter, Mary, indicate Michael had two wives. Considering all
available information, Mary was probably his first wife, Elizabeth his second.

Naturalized in Augusta Co., VA, 22 Aug 1770, #117, Chalkleys Abstracts, Vol.
I, p. 161.

Records of Dr. Dunham indicate the possibility of another son, Joseph, b. 1769

Pendleton Co. History. The Peter Arbogsast who married Henry Arbogast's daughter also not placed.

was 1773; Augusta Co., VA. Also Deed Book 23, page 90, 17 Aug 1779, conveying
property to Michael Armingcost. This area is now Blue Grass, Highland Co., VA.
This information from, Records of Augusta Co., VA, Vol.III, by Chalkley, p.
531, 560. Page 195, citing Will Book VI, records appraisment of the estate of
Barnet Lance by Peter Hull, Jno. Gum, Sr. and Michael Armengash, 20 Sep 1791.
In other books, Michael's sons married into the Hull and Gum families, so they
were probably neighbors.

Only Mary's given name is on record, her full name has not been proven by documents at this time.
