He would have married a Lucy Shipley. He was taken in by a family named Foster, when he was young, his brother was sent to another family his name is unknown to me. He took the foster name after being taken in, therfore all of my history stops at him, with Foster because I know nothing of the Roper history. I know his parents were killed in a wagon accident, that is why he was taken in by others. He is my great grand Father and I would love to be aboe to follow my roots back can you Help Me Please!
