Hi... Thomas Foster and Dorothy Gatewood were my 5gr grandparents also. My line goes to their daughter Sarah Foster and Wm. Gatewood to their son Wm. Gatewood and his wife Mildred Wright to Sarah Gatewood and her husband Charles B Cooke and their daughter Virginia Cooke and Wm. Goode to James Goode and Elizabeth Drake to Mildred Goode and William Parson and then me Nancy Parson. I have some more on this line --- not a GREAT deal. I do show the county in question was Amherst Co VA. Thomas Foster had a brother Anthony who married Martha Talliaferro and in turn they had off spring who in- married Foster/Gatewood cousins. There all wound up in the Henry/Trimble Co KY area. A husband of a distant cousin did a good bit of research on these lines and that is where I got most of my info. This husband was a Prof. at Eastern KY Univ. and I respect his research. What info are you seeking in particular?? I will see if I have it on record. Nancy Demaree "D.

Dear Listers, On the Foster question, let me add that Mary Polly Drake married Isaac Foster in what is now Scott Co., KY about 1792. I am almost positive that Isaac was from VA and I know that Polly's dad, James Francis Drake lived in VA as a youngster but was from England, arriving in America ca. 1750. And a Martha Foster married Wm Clark, Sr. in Orange Co., VA about 1752. This Wm Clark is not the Lewis & Clark family but they called each other "cousin."

I have Fosters in tht area and around Carroll Co. and Garrard Co., Ky. Daniel was b. in Va. abt. 1775, had John who m. Jane Scott, Jane who m. Benj. Lunsford, Elizabeth, Andrew J. who m. Lucinda Perry, and Daniel F. who m. Almira Rodgers. There was also mention of a George Foster who may have been a son or brother of Daniel. Andrew and Lucinda had William W., James M. and Laura E. Daniel F. and Miranda had Andrew J. Foster b. 1867 who m.Hanna :betty Harmon. Laurinda, Mary A., Willie Ann, Mattie, Eliza F., John. Andrew J. m. Anne Eliz. "Betty" Harmon, and had Bessie(my grandmother), Fannie, Raymond, Mary Lee and Serena. Do you recognize any of these? Could they be related to your line from Va? Daniel's oldest is John-does that mean his fther was John Foster? Roslyn
