The Armster Family Surname
The Armster Family SurnameUpdated April 23, 2004 | |
Ric D Tate ,GA | The earliest reference I have for the African-American branch of the Armster name is the 1870 census which list James Armstead and his wife Martha Anne and their children John, Newton and a son named Henry. James appears to have been born circa 1834 in the state of Virginia. My own Great GreatGrandfather was named Jacob Armster.His death certificate list his father's name as being Jim. The other connecting piece seems to be the deed for the house where Jacob lived for all of his married life.The deed doesn't list him as Jacob Armster but as Jacob Armstead. I have records of Armsters in the states of Fl, AL, LA, TX, IL, MS andMO and CA Alternate spellings of the name by the census takers include Armstead, Armisted, Arnster and Armstrong |
