He required his burial to be “without any great doeings, save a sermon to admonish the living upon the words, ‘Set thine house in order, for thou shalt dye and not live,’ in Second Kings, 20 chapter, and the latter part of the first verse.” He gave L100 sterling to the vestry of Christ Church Parish, for interest of which was to be given to the minister “for preaching four quarterly sermons against the four reigning vices of atheism and irreligion, swearing and cursing, fornication and adultery, and drunkenness, “ and the interest of £25 sterling bestowed on the clerk for attending to said sermons. To the poor of the parish of Christ Church, in London, he gave £10 sterling, and the same amount to the poor of North Aston in Oxfordshire the place of his nativity. To his wife, Elizabeth, he gave a gold watch and £1,000 sterling and her part of his negroes for life, and after her death, to his son, Armistead; he gave her besides “my new calash I expect out of England.” To his daughter, Priscilla, £1,000 sterling, and to his daughter, Elizabeth, £100, leaving his wife to advance her fortune out of her own. To Armistead Churchill, his son and heir, he gave the bulk of his estate in Virginia and England and made executors of his wife, his son and daughters, his kinsmen Nicholas and John Goodwin, of London, his “son-in-law” (step-son) Ralph Wormeley,and overseers of his will his brothers, Mr. William Armistead and Mr. Harry Armistead and friends, Mr. Nathaniel Burwell, Mr. John Holloway and Mr. John Clayton.
