Hi all, I have not posted my Foster questions in quite awhile, so I thought I would take this opportunity to ask and send you some info at the same time. I have not been able to find anything about Lewis's parents or Rachel's. There is another Lewis in Caswell county that married a Cisley that is the right age but there are other Foster's that could be his also. Lewis is first found in Caswell County and later moved to Alamance County, North Carolina. Anybody have any info on this family. Boy, would I appreciate some help. Below this descendant chart are some newspaper articles that I found in the North Carolina Archives in Raleigh. Hope they will help someone. Mary Ellis Guilford County North Carolina.
