YES!!! Yes, Yes Yes!!! Thank you! We had begun calling our 3rd great grandmother Missy, because nowhere could we find her first name, only references to "Miss Foster". She's Mary! Thank you! Diane Herson

Hello Diane, Well, if you have seen the Sayles web site on "nonesuchfolks": http://www.nonesuchfolks.com/Sayles_Genealogy_Book.htm You have seen this, that Antrus Foster Sayles was born in Rhode Island: "Anstrus FOSTER, wife of Ezekiel SAYLES, Jr. was born in Rhode Island. She had a brother, David H. FOSTER, living in Sempronius. He had two sons and two daughters; -- David H. FOSTER, Jr. married Polly MATTON; Christopher FOSTER married Eleanor WRIGHT; Susan FOSTER, married William WELCH; Altheda FOSTER, married John B. CLARK." Although one gentleman who responded seemed to believe that Samuel Hardy's middle name is "Savory" not "Sargent", so happy hunting in Rhode Island for your Foster family. New Jersey kept very good records in the 1700's & 1800's (at least Warren County, NJ). My biggest blanks are in NY, so maybe you will find them easily in Rhode Island.

Dear Diane & other Foster researchers in Cayuga Co., I found this post from Oct. 8th, 2002 on Genforum it was posted by Rissa Stanley and has the hx of David H. Foster's family, by his son Christipher & Eleanor (Wright) Foster, sometimes you can find clues with the other families & their descendants. Good luck, Marilyn P.S. You should always verify any other persons research, but I find most people are as thorough as they can be with their own lines.
