Surnames: Foster, Cyrus, Evans Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XAB.2ACI/2392 Message Board Post: In 1880, my James C. Foster (born ca 1842-1846) was in Putnam Co. WV with his wife Mary Catherine Cyrus and two daughters: Margaret "Maggie" (from his first marriage to Dora Davis) 12, and Evalena, 5. He was a voice teacher. In 1884, JC's daughter Margaret marries Joseph Evans in Boyd Co. KY. The marriage took place at the home of J.C.Foster (presumably her father, as he signed permission). In 1892, JC's daughter Evalena "Eva", married in Kanawha Co. to Charles Anderson In 1900 & 1910, Eva, her husband and her mother Mary (Cyrus) Foster are living in Kanawha. Mary died in 1917. I've not located James in WV but perhaps he was in KY? Could someone check a 1900 index and see if James (or J.C.) Foster is in Boyd in 1900? Ultimately I'd like a check of death records, land records, wills or estates, etc. to learn more of when James moved to Boyd Co. and perhaps died there (or even remarried)... but at this point, I'll take what I can get on my "mystery" guy :) Many thanks!
