Research Notes

For Ancestry Users Only: Zimmerman, Doug and Linn, ["ARMISTEAD"], extracted from The Armistead Family by Virginia Armistead Garber, 2004,

Garber, Virginia A., The Armistead Family. 1635-1910. (Page 19) Richmond: Whittet & Shepperson, 1910, (http://lawlibrary.wm.edu/wythepedia/images/7/7b/GarberArmisteadFamily1910.pdf) no mention of Westwood Armistead in this book save one, which states:

Evidently, both Williams were vestrymen of the first church, 1610, as the Pembroke Church, one mile west of present St. John's, was "new in 1667, while the old one was still standing (Rev. Reverdy Estill, D. D., rector of St. John's). The present St. John's dates from 1727. From 1646, William Armistead, to 1848, Westwood Armistead, there have been vestrymen of the name in the parish, to say nothing of parishes in other counties, all which indicates that they were from the first loyal supporters of the Church.
