Laurencious Del Armetsted
This early record seems great and correct.
However the definition presented of the name is probably wrong.
Yes, "STED" is from "place" and is still used today as in Homestead.
But "ERMITE and of" is incorrect and someone confused copied something incorrect.
"DEL" is the word for "of the" or "from," any Spanish or Latin speaker could tell you that.
"ARMET" is Armor, or more specifically, a completely enclosed helmet having a visor and hinged cheek pieces fastened under the chin.
Thus Laurencious Del Armetsted is "Lawrence of the Armor Place" or "Lawrence of the Armory"
The other possibility is "ERMITE" or "HERMIT" which is a dweller of a desert or barren land. Which I think is unlikely.
