Nathan married Sarah (Sallie) Phillips circa 1832 and they had a number of children. Keep in mind that all of this took place in Evington (Campbell County), Virginia...This Farmer line had a lot to do with Barbados... James, his father, was born circa 1760...and married Elizabeth Arthur in Campbell County, circa 1792. James' father was Thomas. I hope this helps....

Hopefully these may help you to locate your Armistead's. HAT CREEK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH There were less than a half dozen Presbyterian churches in all Virginia when the Scotch-Irish settlers in the frontier colony of Hat Creek built their first log meeting house. Arriving in America about 1729, one of them, John Irvin, on hearing that Piedmont Virginia offered great opportunities, left Pennsylvania with his wife, eight children and two slaves in 1738. Soon other settlers joined them, and Mr. Irvin took the lead in establishing a place of worship for them. The well-known Gilbert Tennent of Pennsylvania's "Log College" was invited to consecrate the new meeting house and he remained in the vicinity for about a year to guide the new church to its independence. Then Hat Creek was served by itinerant ministers from Pennsylvania, including Rev. John Thompson, William Robinson and John Blair. Hat Creek's first minister of its own (1761) was the renowned blind preacher Rev. James Waddell; he was succeeded by Rev. David Rice in 1766 until he moved about ten years ! later to Kentucky. A large group of dissenter from Hanover and Louisa counties moved to Hat Creek by 1775, including the renowned lay reader Samuel Morris, whose family was later responsible for the establishment of nearby Morris Church. Five Buildings have been constructed on the same site since 1741: the second (1785), third (1810) and fourth (1846 were of frame, each a little larger than its predecessor. The present church was completed in 1961. By the will of Miss Jane B. Hammersley in 1846, Hat Creek acquired a tract on Little Falling River near the church - a portion was leased in 1959 to the Appomattox Presbytery as the group's "Camp Hat Creek." Among the numerous ministers serving Hat Creek have been William Irvin, Drury Lacy, Archibald McRoberts (1799-1806), John Holt Rice, Clement Read, Nash Legrand (1809-1814). Samuel ARMISTEAD, William Hammersley (1844-1860), and A. B. Carrington (1865-1880). Beginning in 1820, daughter churches were formed: Concord (1820), Diamond Hill (1846), Rustburg (1878), and Brookneal (1892). The burning of the session minutes in 1854 destroyed the record of the first elders, but among those known to have served were John Irvin (1742-1788), Maj. John Irvin (Jr.) (1782-1814), Capt John Marshall, Charles Cobb, Publius Jones, William ARMISTEAD, Richard Hammersley, Andrew Mann, Joshua Morris, Dr. Robert Smith (1850-1877), O.C. Clark (1850-1890), Pleasant Clark (1855-1866) Publius Clark (1855-1892) Wirt Williams (1882-1944), Louis c. Asher (1894-1933), and Sampson Woodall. Buried in the cemetery are the first settler in the county, John Irvin, and his wife Mary Boyd, and many of their descendants and extended family and relations. Also buried there is an Abraham Hanks, who married Lucy Jennings in 1799. Also in the area was a Thomas Hanks who married Nancy Brooks in 1792; through these associations the tradition exists that President Abraham Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks, was born at hat Creek, but no proof has been produced.

In addition taken from the same book source on Pg 4 concerning an Old Campbell County Song in reference to Billy Moon a contemporary of Joe Sweeney, the famous 19th century banjo player from Appomattox. Billy Moon is said to have composed a song said to have been sung by Joe Sweeney. This states that Billy Moon lived just below the Spout Springs in Campbell Co, near Appomattox Co. Moon would load his ox cart with sheaf oats and travel to Lynchburg by the old stage road. The coaling ground was between Glover's old stand (afterward owned by Anderson ARMISTEAD) and Concord Depot.

Bill, Have you ever come across the name James Casey Wilson in Bedford County? Maybe near the Falling River or Falling Creek area? Apparently he lived in the area that became Campbell County. I have a death record for one of his sons, John Casey Wilson, born July 1792 in Campbell County. I have been unable to find any record of James Casey in Bedford County. Thank you for your help.

Sorry to be late with this idea, but I happen to know that one William Cheek most certainly lived in Bedford Co. VA, and had a family there and was still there in 1787. Exactly where he lived in Bedford I don't know, but since he was still a resident in 1787 it would seem to rule out a residence in Campbell Co. since Campbell was cut off from Bedford in 1782. I've now forgotten names of this Wm Cheek's children except for a daughter named "Stelly or Stella" who married in Bedford. Of further, this Wm Cheek moved on South across the line into Granville County ,North Carolina, and he has been traced since by a descendant whom I know and who lives in the same town as I do. If you want to pursue this idea further please let me know and I'll contact my friend who is on that line and see if I can put you in touch. Sorry to say I have no connection, but I ran across this Wm Cheek several times in research on my quest for Hunt records.
