Armstrong Tartan

Armstrong Tartan
The name Dickerson is my last name. It is Welsh. But I am not a Dickerson by blood, I am a Stringfellow. Stringfellow is the American adaptation of Stongfellow. Strongfellow is Scottish. The Strongfellows were a military of the Armstrong clan on the border between Scotland and England. The Armstrongs ruled most of the lowlands of Scotland. The was one instance when an English Duke place his herd of sheep in the care of some Strongfellow shepherds. When he did this the Shepherd decided to hide the sheep in the woods to scare the Duke. I have the name Dickerson because my grandfather was adopted so when this happened he adopted the last name. So now I am a Dickerson.
