I believe that this Francis Foster is possibly the brother or close relative of Ann Foster, who married John Garrett abt 1721 and died abt 1727. John Garrett was in the Londongrove area before 1721. Can anyone throw any light on the brick wall of mine -- Who were the parents of this Francis Foster and what is the maiden name of his wife Mary? Do any of the names in the Account listing have a tie? Thank you for any information... ESTATE OF FRANCIS FOSTER - 1741 Londongrove, Chester Co., Pa.
