Biography
Lucy Margaret was born to William Ellzey and Alice (Blackburn) Ellzey.[1] She is mentioned in her father's will, along with her brothers William Jr. and Lewis, and her sister Catherine. [2]
She married Robert Armistead on September 4th, 1798 in Loudoun County, Virginia. [3] Lucy and Robert had at least two children:
Lucy passed away some time before 1828, when a complaint brought by her sister Sarah on behalf of Lucy’s two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary against their father Robert Armistead was settled. Elizabeth and Mary were described as “infants under the age of twenty-one years” in the complaint. William Ellzey, Sarah and Lucy’s father, had left some tracts of land to Lucy in his will, which Lucy’s widow Robert Armistead now possessed. Sarah had repeatedly asked Robert to follow through on the legal right of his daughters to the land, and when he would not comply brought a complaint to the court. The case was decided in her favor, with the land being divided between Elizabeth and Mary.[4]
