Armistead as a given name in BOSTICK Fam
Armistead BOSTICK b. 1808 is first in my known family to use Amistead as a given name. So far I have not found Armistead as a direct line surname.Since this was before the Famous Maj. George ARMISTEAD's fame during the War of 1812 I assmume he was not named afer him.So, I wonder how he was named.
