Armistead regularly petitioned for his liberty from the Virginia legislature, but his objections were consistently dismissed. As a consequence, Armistead became a free man in 1787. Armistead changed his name to James Armistead Lafayette, appreciative of the Frenchman who helped him acquire his independence.
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.
James Armistead was the first African American double spy. He was a double spy in the American Revolution for the patriot's. He became a farmer after he was a spy. He had a wife, several children, and owned three slaves! He changed his name to James Lafayette.
He was basically a spy for the colonists. He pretended that he sided with the British and that he didn't understand their plans, but really he reported everything to the Marquis de Lafayette, an American officer.
