- James II and Anne's daughter, Anne Shields married Robert Booth Armistead and their daughter, Mary Armistead, married John Tyler Sr. who served as governor of Virginia, 1808 - 11. A college roommate of Thomas Jefferson and ardent supporter of the Revolution, Tyler served as a member of the Committee of Safety for Charles City County in 1774 and raised a company of troops in 1775 in rebellion against Lord Dunmore , the Royal Governor of Virginia. He had ordered the removal of gunpowder from the magazine at Williamsburg and that action, among many others, inspired the colonists to rebel and Lord Dunmore retreated to a ship.
