This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
Anthony Armistead was County Lieut. under Lord Effingham
(Lord Howard) Governor of Virginia; he married Hannah Ellison, daughter of Dr.
Robert Ellison, of James City County. Dr. Ellison was leading Burgess in
1656-'59-'60-'61-'62-'63, with rank of Captain. "We find among the lawyers
of York County 1646, William Hockaday, Francis Willis, Thomas Bushrod, and Dr.
Robert Ellison; all these were trusted and tried men." The will of Dr.
Henry Waldron, 1657, bequeaths "all my Library and Books, whatsoever in
this country, and my horse together with my chests of physical means" to
Captain (Doctor) Robert Ellison of James City Co.
1680 - Anthony was Captain of the Horse
1684 - sheriff
1693, '96, '99, - Burgess
Anthony Armistead died 1705. Their daughter, Judith Armistead,
married John West of West Point, Va., son of Maj. John West, who was the son of
Captain John West, brother of Lord Delaware. The license for their marriage was
obtained in Elizabeth City October 15, 1698, and there is a deed, dated July 18,
1698, of Captain Anthony Armistead
The principal seats of
the Anthony Armistead family were on Back River.
In 1697, Col. John Armistead,
of Gloucester County, made a deed (which is on record in Elizabeth City County)
in which styling himself "brother and heir" of William A., deceased,
and "son and Heire" of William Armistead, of Elizabeth City County,
Gent., "he confirms to Anthony Armistead, his brother, all land on Back
River, in said County, of which his father died seised."
"Willocks" was the name of one of the estates, a very large tract,
only the burying ground of which is now in the possession of this family

This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
1680 - John Armistead was Lieut. Col. of Horse of Gloucester Co
and one of the Justices.
1688, 18 Oct - John Armistead was sworn as one of the Council.
Children of John Armistead and wife Judith:
In
1697, Col. John Armistead, of Gloucester County, made a deed (which is on record
in Elizabeth City County) in which styling himself "brother and heir"
of William A., deceased, and "son and Heire" of William Armistead, of
Elizabeth City County, Gent., "he confirms to Anthony Armistead, his

"Robert Carter lived
his adult life in Lancaster County, Virginia, on the southern side of the
Northern Neck peninsula, not far from the point at which the Rappahannock
empties into Chesapeake Bay, where he was born in 1663 and died in 1732, at the
home, "Corotoman," established there by his father. He was educated in
England by his father's direction, and acquired a life-long appreciation of
books and reading, and the value of a good education. He inherited property from
his father, and a sizeable estate on the death of his older half-brother John,
but through his own business abilities and the opportunities that he seized, he
had acquired well over 300,000 acres of land, nearly 1,000 slaves, and a
considerable cash estate by the time of his death according to his obituary in
London's Gentleman's Magazine. No other Virginian of his generation was so
successful in his political career, in the marriages made by his children, and
so ruthless in building his estate for the benefit of those children." http://etext.virginia.edu/users/berkeley/
