Subj: William Foster m. Nancy Young Date: 6/4/01 7:18:52 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: CarolynCBaugh@aol.com To: GACHATTO-L-request@rootsweb.com I inherited the family bible of my ggrandfather, William Booker Foster b. 5 Sept 1846 in Spartanburg, SC, moved to West Armuchee District Walker County, GA, in which was a handwritten family history mostly lacking in dates. Using the handwritten history, the expert help of Betty Jean Foster Dill, the Spartanburg Library and various Archives we have discovered the following: William Foster b. ca. 1770-1780 probably VA married Nancy Young (daughter of John Young, Sr. and Frances Margaret Wood) in Spartanburg, SC ca 1800+.  Children were: Isham Foster William W. Foster Moses Foster Ezekiel Foster moved to NW GA John Young Foster m. Mary Ann Nichols moved to NW GA Issaic Foster James Young Foster* m. Martha Wade Booker 1st child William Booker Foster b. Spartanburg, SC 9/5/1846 moved to NW GA Eliza Foster m. Elias Wall remained in Spartanburg, SC Frances Foster m. William Wilkins remained in Spartanburg, SC Sarah Foster, moved to NW GA Real Estate papers show he owned 225 acres on the South Pacolet bounded by Pacolet Moses Foster, Daniel White and perhaps others.  The acreage was sold in 1843 to settle the estate. The Spartanburg Library INDEX shows him as William PACK Foster.  There is no mention of "PACK" in the real estate papers.  One document on the back shows: "William Foster, deceased, (P)". I would like to know (1) if indeed the name is William PACK Foster, the origin of the middle name and (2) who are the parents of this William Foster. ANY help on the above greatly appreciated. *[A Martha Terry or Tarry married a Booker (given name ukn), children were Martha Wade Booker (shown in the 1850 GA census as age 25 b. NC), Frances Terry or Tarry Booker, Susanna Booker and William Booker.  James Young Foster married Martha Wade Booker of the above children.] carolyncbaugh@aol.com
