William Armstrong (corn merchant)
William Armstrong (1778–1857) was an English corn merchant and local politician of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He was also the father of prominent industrialist William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong. Armstrong was born in a small Cumberland village, where he came in contact with the wealthy Losh family. This contact helped him gain a commercial foothold when, in the 1750s, he moved to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, joining a Losh-owned corn firm. Upon the proprietors' bankruptcy, Armstrong collected together the funds to establish his own corn firm: Armstrong, & Co.
