According to Lee of Virginia, 1642-1892: Biographical and Genealogical Sketches, edited by Edmund Jennings Lee:
John Armistead was the son of William Armistead and Martha Kendall Lee. His mother was born prior to the 5th of January 1682 and was living as late as October 1754. She was evidently twice married, first to William Armistead, grandson of William the immigrant, by whom she had a son John and probably daughters, Judith, Martha, Mary, and Anne. William Armistead probably died 13th of June 1711, 40 years tombstone.
John is first mentioned in the codicil to his father's will dated 18th May 1709, so he was probably born in the early months of that year. John died the 11th August 1789 at the home of his nephew John Lee in Orange County. As his will mentioned neither wife or children, it is probable he never married. After a few bequests he left to his nephew John Lee, the son of brother Hancock Lee, deceased the residue of his estate, and in the case of death without heirs, it was to be equally divided between nephew and nieces, children of his brother Hancock Lee. He mentioned nephews, Hancock, Henry, and Richard, son of his brother Hancock Lee: nieces Sarah Alexander Gillison and Mary Willis Madison, daughters of brother Hancock Lee.

The data of this profile of Armistead-104 is similar: parents are the same, but death date is quite different. Some info may have been conflated with a different person. See text of this bio.
