In reply to:
Who was Joseph Milstead of Amherst, VA?
Robert Milstead 7/31/05
Could Benedictor and Peter be clues??
Of interest is Edward Milstead III 1782 Charles Co. ,MD
He might be the possible connection to Joseph of Amherst
Edward's will names among his children BENEDICTOR MILSTEAD and also a PETER MILSTEAD...both distinctive given names.
One of these two given names shows up later in the proven will of Joseph Milstead in Amherst 1803- He also had a daughter named Benedictor Milstead. She married a Wm Davis in 1787 in Amherst Co.
This same Joseph also had a grandchild that was named Peter Milstead.
This is not my family, but is information I came across while helping a friend. Hope this helps.
