Back in Milnholm, on a hillside in Ettleton, the family burying
ground, is an old gravestone now built into the wall but well
preserved, this stone has somewhat similar characters, but they
stand for Alexander 6th Laird of Mangerton Castle, designated
by the symbolic tree on the back of the stone.

Alexander had 7 sons, that represent the seven branches of
the Oak Tree that is used on the Armstrongs Shield or Coat of
Arms(1500-1510). These Arms are described in the Harleian Manuscripts,
vol. 2120, p. 138, as those of "Armstrongs of Maingertoune.
The same Arms were borne by the family which possessed the property
in Ewesdale. They appear on a monument, in Ewes churchyard, to
John Armstrong of Sorbie, who died in 1685. The Arms are also
mentioned in 1630 as the Brooksboro Arms, and there is no cloud
upon the Brooksboro shield. Similar Arms occur on a much defaced
stone, dated 1733, which till lately was to be seen in Canobie
churchyard.
