Hi Jim - and Happy Thanksgiving! While the Fosters didn't come over on the Mayflower, a good many of them came well before the Revolution. Have you checked any of the Foster websites on line? Start with Google and type in "Richard Forestarius" - he's the first Foster in England, coming over with William the Conqueror. The name spelling was "Forster" for a long time, then shortened to "Foster" by a much later Foster when he came to America. Some of the later descendants moved to Tennessee, and some went south to Alabama, South Carolina, etc. My branch moved to Tennessee, then to Texas where I was born. I can give you some websites to look at to try to connect your line if you don't have luck yourself on-line. As to your inquiry about Littleton Johnson Roberts, whereabouts in Alabama was he? A good many settlers moved to Sumter County after the Choctaw treaty of 1837, which opened up lands to the west of Greene County. The southern half of Sumter County was split off to become the northern half of Choctaw County in the 1840s, so you need to check both county records. "Littleton" sounds like a surname, which was often a mother's maiden name given to a boy or a girl, an old Southern custom. Please keep in touch. We might find out our Fosters are related.

Some of my info that was handed down to me by the Fosters that goes back to 837 England but so for I have not found a connection to that info !!! I do have info old Documents from Southampton Co, VA. from the 1600s and my people were Fort,Barker,Vaughan,Turner,Foster, And !! See Barker Family tree. I have most all the info on Arthur Foster 1732 and his wife Martha Collier b 1738 VA. Son John GA. b VA, and son James b Ga. to Fosters Al. in 1818 !!! I dont at this time have a lot of info but have been told by others that Robert Colman Foster VA. and Ann Hurbeard from Tn, and Ky. was of my Fosters line and I also have that in an old Document from Fosters Al. info 1904 Jim > Hi Jim - and Happy Thanksgiving! > > While the Fosters didn't come over on the Mayflower, a good many of them > came well before the Revolution.
