Surname Saturday - Armistead

Today I make my first post for Surname Saturday, a daily blogging prompt from Genabloggers.  I thought long and hard about which name highlight, but couldn't make a decision.  So I decided to just go alphabetically, starting with "A".

The Armistead line runs on my dad's side with his mother, Elizabeth Armistead Hennings.  I don't have much in the way of information on this line, and I have only been able to go back to 1830, which is about when my 3rd great grandfather, William Christie Armistead, was born.

All that I have been able to confirm about him is his full name, his children, and that he spent his entire life in Washington, DC.  There is some question about where he was born as some records indicate Washington, DC and some indicate Virginia.  I do know there is a lot of Armistead's in both Virginia and Washington, DC, but so far I haven't been able to find a common link.  If only I could find out who his parents were.  His burial record just lists his father's last name, and I haven't a clue as to who is mother was (but I'm assuming right now that her maiden name might have been Christie).

Anyway, here is my link to the Armistead's of Washington, DC.
