Notes about Armistead Harrison Churchill


Armistead Churchill Jr.
Birth: 25 Nov 1733 Middlesex County, Virginia, USA
Death: 13 Sep 1795 (aged 61) Jefferson County, Kentucky, USA
Burial: Blenheim Plantation Family Graveyard, Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, USA
Memorial #: 143210622
Bio: Armistead Churchill was the son of Armistead and Hannah (Harrison) Churchill of "Bushby Park" in Middlesex County, Virginia and the grandson of William and Elizabeth (Armistead) Churchill, and of Col. Nathaniel and Mary (Cary) Harrison of "Wakefield."

On February 14th, 1761 in Northumberland County, Virginia, Armistead Churchill married Elizabeth Blackwell, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Steptoe) Blackwell of "Walnut Lodge" in Northumberland County. After his marriage to Elizabeth he removed to Fauquier County with two of Elizabeth's uncles and there they made their home till 1785 when they removed once again - this time to the fertile lands and wilds of western Kentucky. They travelled with members of the Blackwell family till they came to Jefferson County, Kentucky where Armistead Churchill established a plantation he called "Blenheim" a few miles south of the present site of Louisville, Ky. Here, he, his wife, and many of their children lie buried.

They had ten children and in recording them in his family Bible he changes the spelling of his surname with the record of the birth of his sixth child. His children were:

1. Elizabeth Churchill, b. 20 April 1762;
2. Armistead Churchill, b. 22 April 1763;
3. William Churchill, b. 10 June 1765;
4. John Churchill, b. 26 January 1767;
5. Henry Churchill, b. 10 December 1768;
(to be continued)

Samuel Blackwell, Sr. of "Walnut Lodge," Northumberland County, Virginia by Mrs. Doris Ratliff Blackwell of Shreveport, Louisiana (private compilation/collection). She was kind enough to lend me (MES) copies of this voluminous work, of which I made a copy, in the mid 1980's. Her sources are primarily straight from the courthouse records & primary sources mainly from Virginia, Kentucky, and Louisiana. She travelled the distance to the various courthouses and recorded & copied documents personally before the days of the internet. An excellent compilation of primary sources by a very diligent & highly competent genealogist.
