Walton County Georgia Bios John Armistead File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by John Davis" Table of Contents page: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/crawford.htm Georgia Table of Contents: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm John Armistead was born in Virginia, March 14, 1774. He appears first in Oglethorpe County Georgia about 1798. His first wife was Keziah Anderson, daughter of Nathaniel and Susannah Anderson of Oglethorpe County, GA. We do not know where she was born, or where they were married. He had nine children by her before she died circa 1816/1817. He then married Mrs. Amy Powell OWEN, widow of Capt. William Owen, on March 29, 1818 in Oglethorpe Co., GA. They are found in Walton Co., GA in the 1830 - 1850 censuses. John and Amy had five children. Amy died Nov. 26, 1850. At some point John moved to Newton Co. (probably to live with his son James) where he applied for the bounty land in 1855. I believe that is where he died and is buried. ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
