Surnames: Information on Armstead or Armistead Brown Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.virginia.counties.culpeper/2900.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have no information on Garfield Brown prior to 1742. He is mentioned in Louisa county several times in the 1742 - 1746 time frame. I find him next in Culpeper county and dying there in 1796. In the past I checked with the Library of Virginia regarding Gaffield possibly being Garfield. They stated the name on the revolutionary records were clearly for Gaffield. I did find that the records for Carfield Brown were clearly for Garfield. As far as a "living" male descendant goes, I am a direct descendant of Garfield.
