About Colonel John Armistead, Esq.

https://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Armistead_John_fl_1650s-1690s

John Armistead was a member of the governor's Council of Virginia late in the seventeenth century. A planter in Gloucester County, he also entered into several successful business ventures. Becoming active in politics, Armistead sat on the county court and served as sheriff. He opposed the tobacco cutting riots and favored English policies put in place after Bacon's Rebellion (1676–1677). Armistead twice represented Gloucester in the House of Burgesses before the governor appointed him to the Council in 1688. Armistead relinquished his seat in 1691 when he refused to take the oaths to the new monarchs William and Mary. Although restored to his place later in the decade, Armistead did not rejoin the Council. His date of death is unknown.

Armistead was the second of three sons and one of at least four children of William Armistead and Anne Armistead, of Kirk Deighton, Yorkshire, England. He may have been born in Virginia, his parents having settled in Elizabeth City County in the mid-1630s, which is the most likely approximate time of his birth. When he reached adulthood he moved to Gloucester County, where he lived and farmed for the rest of his life. His father had prospered so rapidly after immigrating to Virginia that both of his surviving sons began their adult lives as substantial planters. He may have sent John Armistead to Gloucester County in the 1650s to manage the properties he acquired after that section of the colony was first opened to English settlement.

Sometime in the 1660s Armistead became associated with Robert Beverley (1635–1687), an association that led to several profitable joint business ventures. The relationship grew even closer when Armistead married Beverley's sister-in-law Judith Hone. Armistead had two sons and two daughters, and he acquired even more influential family connections later, when one of his daughters married Ralph Wormeley (d. 1701) and the other married Robert "King" Carter.

Destruction of most of the records of Gloucester County has obscured the details of Armistead's participation in politics. He probably became a vestryman of Kingston Parish within a few years of moving to the county, and by 1670 he was a member of the county court as well as a colonel in the county militia. He became sheriff in 1676 and again in 1680. In 1682 he arrested several local women who were destroying tobacco plants. This put him in opposition to Robert Beverley, the putative instigator of the plant-cutting riots, by which the perpetrators hoped to reduce the supply of tobacco and thereby raise its price. Armistead differed from Beverley on political issues, too. Beverley grew increasingly outspoken in his opposition to English policies designed to control Virginia after Bacon's Rebellion, while Armistead inclined favorably toward the new order.

Armistead served in the House of Burgesses twice. Elected in 1680, he sat at the first meeting of the General Assembly of 1680–1682. His part in suppressing the plant cutters may explain his absence at the second session, and he did not return to the House until 1685. By the mid-1680s he was on friendly terms with Governor Francis Howard, baron Howard of Effingham, who resided at times with Armistead's son-in-law Ralph Wormeley. The association with Effingham proved beneficial, and in 1688 Effingham appointed Armistead to a vacancy on the governor's Council. He was sworn in on October 18, 1688, but his tenure lasted only two and a half years. In April 1691, following the Glorious Revolution, Armistead refused "thro Scruple of Conscience" to swear allegiance to the new monarchs, William and Mary. He consequently lost his seat on the Council. Seven years later the Crown ordered him restored to his place, but Armistead did not take the oaths after the commission was presented to the Council on December 9, 1698.

John Armistead may have been dead by that date, but he could also have been alive and in political retirement in Gloucester County while continuing his refusal to forswear his oath to James II. The date and place of his death are not recorded.

John Armistead second son of the emigrant, is generally spoken of as "The Councillor." He was sheriff of Gloucester county in 1675, member of the House of Burgesses in 1685, and appointed to the Council in 1687. After the accession of William and Mary to the English throne, John Armistead, Isaac Allerton and Richard Lee were dropped from the Council for irefusing to take the oath of allegiance to the new sovereigns. In 1680, John Armistead was lieutenant-colonel of horse in Gloucester County and also one of the justices of that county.

Were these children born in Virginia? In 1680, forty-five years after the. emigrant came to Virginia, John, his second son, is recorded as being lieutenant-colonel of horse in Gloucester ; in 1688, was in the council; Anthony, in 1680, was captain of horse in Elizabeth City County, burgess in 1696- 1699.

Carter's Creek, has been lately established by figures on the wall 1684 or 1694. This seems to have been the custom among the early colonists. We have a note taken from some record, "that John Armistead, the Councillor, was dead before 1703 ; his third child, William, the oldest son was born about 1665, died 171 1.

We argue that John A., Councillor, built Hesse in 1674, and lived there with his wife Judith, and children, who were all mairried after that date. His eldest child, Judith, married in 1688; second child, Elizabeth, in 1687.

GEDCOM Note

He settled in Gloucester Co. where his father had patented a considerable quantity of land. In 1697 he made a deed (which is on record in Elizabeth City County)- in which he styled himself as "brother and heir" of William Armistead. He inherited his father's land thru his elder brother Wiliam who died without issue. He is seen as 'from Hesse Plantation' in Gloucester Co.-it is now in Mathews Co.-thus indicating the connection of the name Armistead to 'Hesse-Darmstadt'.

HESSE PLANTATION From: «i»The Armistead Family 1635-1910 «/i» By Virginia Armistead Garber Richmond, Virginia Whittet and Sheperson printers 1910: In this book the author says that she believes that John Armistead built Hesse about 1674 & lived there with his wife Judith & their children who all married after that date. The author also visited Hesse (presumably c1910) & describes spending a interesting day wandering over the old place & house & asking questions of the caretaker...feeble...sitting in a large chair...who pointed out an interesting find, namely, that there were letters & figures on one of the chimneys: A. o. 1674...the figures were very indistinct but were made to be Anno 1674. The original patent on the Piankatank River (Hesse) the estate is spoken of as having 3, 879 acres From the «i»Daily Press«/i» April 17, 1997: The Gloucester-Mathews Historic Garden Week Tour HESSE PLANTATION-Mathews The site of Hesse, on a high bluff overlooking the Piankatank River & the Chesapeake Bay is one of the most beautiful in the Tidewater. The estate was patented in 1651 to William Armistead, progenitor of the Carters, Lees, Pages, Nelson, Burwell & many other Virginia families. Judith Armistead, King Carter's first wife & great-great grandmother of Robert E. Lee, was born there. The furnishings are primarily, 17th, 18th & 19th century English & American antiques, many of whom are family heirlooms. French, Italian, Oriental & Indian antiques from a former home in New Orleans have been added. Adjacent to the pool, with its bath house & paved terrace is a small, formal rose & boxwood garden. Hesse is National Historic Landmark & a Virginia HIstoric Landmark.

John Armistead was High Sheriff of Gloucester Co, 1675; Member of the House of Burgesses-a member of the King's Council 1685; Lt. Col. of Horse of Gloucester Co.1675 & one of the Justices of that county. He "was sworn of the Council" in 1688 & was known as 'Councillor John'. To say that John & Judith's daughters 'married well' is an understatement. Elizabeth married "the most powerful man in Virginia"...& Judith married "the wealthiest".
