Biography

Anthony Armistead and Mourning, his wife, of North Carolina, made a deed in 1791 for lands in Elizabeth City county, Va., known as "Anthony Armistead's lands," devised to him by the will of Anthony Tucker, after the death of his mother, Mary Armistead, now Mary Williams. I think now that Anthony Armistead's wife was really a daughter of Anthony Tucker and Rosea, his wife, as first stated (see Vol. VI., p. 20-21, and VII., p. 185). In her will, dated 1766, Rosea Tucker leaves property to her grandchildren, Elizabeth, Anthony, Robert, Westwood and Alexander Carver, children of my dau. Mary Armistead by Anthony Armistead, her husband. She mentions her three daus. Mary King, Judith Herbert, and Mary Armistead, names Sarah Dixon, and appoints William Armistead guardian of Elizabeth Armistead till twenty-one. Her husband Anthony (will dated Sept. 15, 1758; proved Jan. 2, 1759), names wife Rosea, children Curle Tucker, Sarah Dixon and Mary Armistead, grandson An thony Armistead, grandson Anthony Tucker Dixon. Witnesses, Anne Armistead, R. Armistead. In 1728-'29 Anthony Tucker and Mary his wife made a deed in favor of John Jenkins and Mary Jenkins, children of said Mary Tucker. Soon after this Rosea, widow of Joshua Curle, Mary Tucker's brother, married Anthony Tucker, Mary Tucker's husband.^[1]
