Biography
Anne Smith was the daughter of Gregory Smith and Lucy Cooke. She was the second wife of Robert Armistead, son of Henry of Hess in Gloucester County and Martha Burwell. Anne was a sister of the Reverend Thomas Smith, rector of Cople Parish in Westmoreland County, Virginia and Colonel Gregory Smith who was first Captain of the Seventh Virginia Regiment in 1776, resigned this position the 28th of November and became Colonel of the Second Virginia State Regiment in June of 1777 until 1778. She was mother to three children, Captain Thomas Armistead who commanded the First Virginia State Regiment from April 6, 1778 to January 1780 in the revolution, Martha Burwell Armistead who married to Benjamin Dabney, and Robert Jr. who is believed to have married and had six children. The birth year of Anne (Smith) Armistead was prior to the 1737 death of Gregory Smith, one of three young children born to his young widow, Lucy Cooke. Gregory's Will was proved the 21st of February in Essex County so it is likely Anne Smith was born in Essex.
