I am still confused about whether the info on have on the Fousts and Talbert is correct or not. I have George Foust as father of Susannah. George's married Mary Molly Buck. George's father was John. Someone wrote to me: The following is from Dr. Faust's book "FAUST -FOUST FAMILY In Germany & America" published by Gateway and is available from Mary Faust, his widow. Pages F61, F62, and F63. "A John Faust moved to Lycoming Co., Pa. In 1807 according to a deed in which he bought land in Muncie Creek Township. According to the Lycoming County History the original Faust was a John Faust, Revoluntionary War veteran. No other Faust seems to fit the description except John Faust (1756-1854). There was only one Faust family to ever live in Lycoming in the 1800's. The History further states that as of the 1800's 3 grandsons still lived in the area: John, Jacob, and Daniel/ There is still not definite proof that this Lycoming family is from John(1756-1854), but no other connections seem possible. Furthermore, Lycoming County is adjacent to Columbia and Montour Counties where John (1756-1854) is known to have lived. "The known members of this Faust start with a John Faust who married Mary Buck. He administered his mother-in-law's estate in 1828. John did not leave a will, but two deeds which settle his estate do name the children. The children were John, Catherine, Mary, Margaret, Susannah, and George. The family of George Faust still live in the area. There is a Faust Department Store in Muncie. Below is the family of this John Faust. JOHN FAUST - b. 1816; m.
