Excerpt from The Family of Armistead of Virginia William armistead, founder of the principal family of the name in Virginia, ancestor undoubtedly of most* of the name in the United States, received grants of large tracts of land in Eliza beth City County in 1636 and other years, andin Gloucester County in 1651. He probably came from Yorkshire, England, where the name was a very common one. He has been thought to be the William Armistead, son of Anthony, baptized 3 August, 1610, at Kirk Deighton in Yorkshire, but of this there is no proof. It is of course possible, though it would make William Armistead a rather younger man than one would expect. Be this as it may, William Armistead with wife Anne was undoubtedly in Virginia soon after 1635. Nothing whatever is known of his life in Virginia, except that he was Vestryman of St. John's Church, Hampton, 1646. The date of his death is not on record, but he was dead in 1660. He had four children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ... This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
