I beleive the book is reference the family's earlier roots and family migrations. But it is nice to have another source. According to census listings, James Stewart Foshee was born in North Carolina. James Stewart Foshee married Martha Nancy Parker d/o Samuel Parker and Mary "Polly" Parker in Georgia. Samuel Parker was born in the Maryland on June 21,1765, and was left an orphan at an early age. He moved to Virginia, where he remained 3 years and then moved on to Georgia. How/when James Stewart migrated from his birth state of NC to GA is unknown, as is his lineage.
