Larry, I have James Henry Foster, born May 1847, OH, according to the 1900 U.S. Census for Grand River Twp, Daviess, MO. The census says his father was born in Virginia and his mother was born in Ohio, so I don't know if or how he is related to your Foster line. He was married to my great grandmother's sister, Susan E. Railsback, 26 Mar 1871 in Daviess Co.. They had 5 children, John W, Thomas E, Charles H, Margaret J, and Frank E. They were all born in Daviess Co., Missouri. James and Susan Foster raised my grandmother, Lora J Barrows, after the death of her mother, Emma N. (Railsback) Barrows. At some point between 1900 and 1910 they moved to Labette Co., KS, although, Susan is buried in Grand River, MO. I do show David Nelson Foster and Naoma Bunyard, parents of Martha A Foster, born 26 Nov 1844 - died 22 May 1875. Martha married Enoch Croy in 1866. Enoch's parents were Alexander Croy, Jr and Sophia (Raislback) Croy. Sophia is my grt-grt-grandfather's (John A Railsback) sister. John is Susan Foster's father. I'm confused now. :) Karen (McClanahan) King Larry Adams wrote: > Karen, > Who does your Foster's decend through??
