Research Notes

Charles Armistead: Although Daisy is listed as "daughter" in the 1880 census with Charles "Hustan" Armistead, it seems more likely that Charles was Daisy's step-father. Daisy's place of birth is consistently shown as Mississippi, the same as her mother's. There is nothing that seems to tie Charles to Mississippi.

Robert Doncaster: To date, no marriage record has been found for Daisy and Robert Doncaster. Daisy's married surname is verified by her death certificate and tombstone. Robert's first name is verified by the marriage record of Robert and Daisy's daughter, Ruth.^[1] Daisy Doncaster was also the informant on her brother Lewis Q Armistead's death certificate.
