About Thomas Ford
notes
From http://rdhardesty.blogspot.com/2013/09/good-luck-if-it-hits.html?m=1
It’s commonly asserted that my 5th great-grandfather, Virginian Thomas Ford (1704-1776), married Jane Milstead at her father’s home. I’m now willing to posit that the couple were likely wed on the plantation ‘Good Luck If It Hits.’
In 1725, Ford begins amassing land grants from Lord Fairfax, including tracts on Pope’s Head Creek, off the Occoquan River and almost due west, across the Potomac from Milstead holdings at Charles County. Ford attains the stature of Vestryman in Truro Parish. Notes from February 1776 show him in deep planning with another member of the parish: Ford and Col. George Washington are laying out the plans for a new church building … with the exacting detail I've come to expect from the nation's first President. [See The History of Truro Parish in Virginia, by Peter Coldham, pg. 137.]

I am very glad that I have found your post. I am a descendent of Thomas Ford (1704-1776) through his daughter Caty Ford Catherine Simpson. I am looking for more information on who is the mother of Thomas. I know his father married Elizabeth Thornton and then Jane White. However from what I have read they are not his mother and there was a "mystery" woman he married ? first. ~
