  William called "Christie's Will" also called "The Younger of Barngleish, later Younger of Langholm, & Younger of Aughingill". Source-Brooksboro Parish Records in Fermanagh Co., Ireland. Source-Armstrong House of Langholm, item 5. Source-Border Exploits, edit 1812, p.292 It is well known that during the troubles of Charles I, the Earl of Traquair continued unalterably fixed in his attachment to his unfortunate master, in whose service he hazarded his person and improverished his estate. On one occasion his lordship dispatched Christie's Will to London upon business of the highest importance to his Majesty.But the task was a difficult one, as the Parliamentary leaders used their utmost endeavors to prevent any communication between the King and his Scottish friends. William arrived at London and delivered his papers in safety. In the meantime his enbassy had taken air, and orders were dispatched by the enemy to intercept him. He passed skill from London to Carlisle, a distance of 265 miles, stopping at the latter place to refresh his horse, and then proceeded on his journey. Crossing the bridge over the Eden just outside of Carlisle, he suddenly discovered Parliamentary Soldiers springing up like magic at both ends of the bridge. There was nothing left to do but take to the water, which was in high flood. Facing down stream, he patted his horse's neck, and with a touch of the spur gracefully cleared the parapet. Horse and rider were carried by the swift current to a place called the Stanners, or Stanhouse, where he guided the horse up the wet bank, but they slipped back into the river Quickly cutting the loop that held his long wet cloak, he made for the bank again. With the noble effort the animal brought his master to firm ground. The soldiers, for a time struck with wonder, forgot to fire upon him. Two or three ran down the waterside intending to capture him, but William pointed his wet pistol at them, which the weapon, although useless, caused them to halt. From the Eden he was chased to the Esk, which he swam, gaining the further side, he wheeled around and in true Border style called out to his pursuers to come through and drink with him. They declined, knowing he was in the neighborhood of friends. After this taunt, he proceeded on the journey and faithfully accomplished his mission. Source-Wilsons Tales of the Border, edit London vol.2,p.736, on perilous mission from Scotland to King Charles I, in London. Source-Armstrong Surname Organization Salt Lake City, Ut. In 1630 William kidnapped Sir Alexander Gibson, Lord Durie, a judge, and kept him prisoner for 3 months, in a Castle Dungeon until court decided in favor of his friend, then released the judge at night. Judge and friends thought William had been spirited away by witchcraft. Source-Preface of Forbe's Journal of the Sessions, Edinburgh 1714 William, son of Christopher and grandson of John of Gilknockie, left Scotland in taking nephew Andrew with him and settleing in northern Fermanagh Co., Ireland, where he became the founder of a numerious family whose branches flourished in those parts. This was some years after the death of Queen Elizabeth. Another source states William settled in Fermanagh Co., Ireland in 1604. Source-Armstrong Surname Organization S.L.C. Ut. Armstrong families of Ireland, most all trace back to William and nephew Andrew in Brooksboro Ireland. Source-Chronicles of the Armstrongs p.p. 245,309,316,318, & 392. The Munro Clan had a long minority in the chiefship from 1635-1651 which coincided with the period of Civil War. During these years General Robert Munro commanded the army sent by the Scottish parliament to Ireland in 1642. Colonel William died in battle in King Charles I, British Army, during the period of the First Civil War with Ireland 1642-1646..
