Hi, Maureen -- was notified that the material I sent Bill was too large and so is up for review -- I'll be informed as to whether it goes through or not. Meanwhile here is the letter part. Do send me your email address and I'll send you the attachment. Jean Bill, I found the information I have about Foshay. William Forster, b. 1710 in England, was sent to America about 1720 by the English Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. He settled in Rye, NY and was also high sherrif in Westchester County. He married Jane Barnes about 1734. Jane was born about 1734 and died Nov. 7, 1797. Together William and Jane had a son, Marmaduke, b. 1735. Although there is no record of divorce, Jane apparently did divorce William and then married William Foshay, with whom she had nine children! Jane was the daughter of Underhill Barnes, born 1694. His lineage can be traced back to Edward Barnes, b. 1580, d. 1657. Jane's mother was Miriam Baxter, b. 1696. Her lineage can be traced back to George Baxter, b. 1600. I am a descendant of Marmaduke Forster! ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
Hi: I have a couple of questions for you. William was sent to America at 10 years old, was he a preacher? You said Jane Barnes was born about 1734 and was married about 1734. that seems pretty young to be getting married.
