The marriage must have taken place about 1724 as their first child, John Ford, was born in 1725. The young couple moved to Fairfax County, where Thomas applied for and received three separate land grants, all on Pope's Creek in Fairfax County. He lived and died there, although his law practice extended over several adjoining counties. The Milstead family is found living in Chester County, Maryland on the Quit Rent Rolls from 1642 to 1725. The Trinity Parish Vestry Records, of Charles County, Maryland, shows the birth registry of a child, William Milstead, son of Edward and Susanna Milstead, born July 20 1685. Presumably it was this Edward Milstead who paid his Quit Rents on two plantation; one called "Good Luck If It Hits" and the other "Nonsuch". The eastern Virginia Milsteads moved west with the growing population, and most of their records are found in Amherst County, Virginia.
