William Armistead (died circa 1716) was a Virginia planter and politician in Elizabeth City County, Virginia, which he represented in the House of Burgesses for multiple terms.[1] Complicating matters, several relatives shared the same name in the colonial era, and four more men of the same name would serve in the Virginia House of Delegates following the Revolutionary War, the first of them being William Armistead of New Kent County.
