Foster's mother is another puzzle. Foster was apparently illegitimate since both Abraham and his brother were married at the time of his birth in 1820, and Orpha would have been about 14. Her maiden name was supposed to be WOOD, nothing else is known about her, except that in old age she married Abraham Sutton, after living for awhile with his twin brother. She was adopted by John Taylor and his wife as a child and had an adoptive sister, Fanny. She left bequests to about 26 nieces and nephews, none of them Suttons, and most of them living in MI or ILL.
