Narrative
According to James H. Armistead:
"1776 William "The Purser" Armistead financed the American Revolution
with English silver paid to the Prussians, which really made Gen.
Cornwallis angry, who started another war in 1812), since Prussia
was allied with the House of Hesse (on the Chickahominy River in
New Kent County, VA.?)."
"He, also, won the war by using his black servant, "James"
(Lafayette Armistead), as the first CIA agent. (See: The book by
Virginus Dabney, "Virginia, The New Dominion", who mentioned
"James" as James Lafayette without his awarded, Armistead, last name.)
William "the purser" Armistead's daughter married a "Fairfax Washington",
who may have attended Wm. & Mary, or Oxford, Cambridge, etc."
