After the American Revolution, James Armistead Lafayette, who had served as a spy for the Continental Army, continued to work for the cause of freedom. He returned to Virginia and was granted his freedom in recognition of his service. Subsequently, he changed his last name to Lafayette in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, who had supported American independence. Armistead lived out the remainder of his life as a farmer and was eventually recognized for his contributions to the war.
