Note: Isaac is still living in 1850 - he is listed with a large family, Crawford Tuggle (Triggle) age 39 born VA and Elizabeth, his wife, 38 b Tenn. and their 9 children. (Warren Township, Putnam County census taken 28 Aug 1850). Isaac is listed as age 88 born in Virginia.

In 1836, he was living in Eastern Tennessee (some of the Tuggle children were born there so it's possible he was with them then too) receiving his pension of $18.33. (Source: US Revolutionary Pensioners - note with such a common name, this might not be the same Isaac Armstrong)
