Clarissa Chapman Armstrong

[4][5][6] Eric Kjellgren and Carol S. Ivory write, "During her time in the Marquesas, Clarissa Armstrong painted four small watercolor portraits.

"[4] Subjects of her watercolor made in Hawaii included blind preacher Bartimea Puaʻaiki, Governor Hoapili of Maui and Queen Kalākua Kaheiheimālie.

[7][8] Richard Armstrong left mission work in 1847 to take secular employment as the Minister of Public Instruction under King Kamehameha III.

Clarissa Armstrong no longer taught classes, but continued to hold Bible study meetings, now with other wives of Hawaiian chiefs and government officials, including Queen Kalama.

She sold the Honolulu house in 1881, and moved to San Francisco, California, to join her daughter's work at a Christian mission in that city's Chinatown.

[9] Their youngest son, Samuel Chapman Armstrong (1839–1893) was a Union Army general during the American Civil War and afterwards the founder of the Hampton Institute.
