Good morning Frances, Here is the information you asked for about Anthony and Mary FOSTER from the book, "Red River Settlers." Mary FOSTER is mentioned as the sister of Henry FEATHERSTONE. This information was found in a will of Henry's recorded in Prince Edward County, Va., that was recorded on April 4, 1760. That is the only mention of Mary FOSTER, though she was not in the Red River country at that time. Anthony FOSTER is mentioned in an indenture dated June 5, 1799 between Howell Tatum and Rosannah Tatum, who was Howell's wife, and Anthony Foster, Robert Searcy, and Francis B. Sappington, carpenters, on the other part for $350.00 in Davidson County, TN. Anthony FOSTER is also mentioned in a land grant # 1578 to Anthony Foster, dated Feb. 23, 1793, Warrant # 3526, for 228 acres in Tennessee County, south of the Cumberland River This is recorded in book C-3, page 230. This is all the information on Anthony and Mary FOSTER found in the book. We hope you find it useful. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 2/25/01 4:59:54 PM Pacific Standard Time, frano-cola.sc@worldnet.att.net writes: > Subj: [ROOTWALKER] William Foster in Montgomery > Date: 2/25/01 4:59:54 PM Pacific Standard Time > From: frano-cola.sc@worldnet.att.net (Frances Osburn) > Reply-to: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > To: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > > Stan- > > William Foster, Sr. is listed on the 1836 Montgomery County map in > District 1.
