Research Notes

Although Jerome is listed as "son" in the 1880 census with Charles "Hustan" Armistead and Charles is listed as his father in other records, it seems more likely that Charles was Jerome's step-father. Jerome's place of birth is consistently shown as Mississippi, the same as his mother's. There is nothing that seems to tie Charles to Mississippi.
