I am trying to find information on the families of Samuel FOSTER (1787-1855) and Nancy JAMES (1795-1863). They were married about 1811 in Brunswick County, Virginia, and moved first to Rutherford County, Tennessee around 1815. They moved to Gibson County sometime after the census was taken in 1850. Both died in Gibson County. According to Goodspeed's History of Gibson County, Samuel and Nancy had 13 children. (On the 1830 census, they have 11 children.) I have only been able to confirm the two who were still with them in 1850: Richard H (born 1827) and Beverly Ransome (born 1829). These are also the only ones know moved to Gibson County with them. I am most interested in discovering who the other children are in this family. I imagine some would have followed them to Gibson County, besides Richard and Beverly, and others would have remained in Rutherford. Richard H FOSTER married Mary Elizabeth REVEL in 1850 in Rutherford County, before moving to Gibson County. Together they had the following children: Mollie, Ida, Mathew, Atkins, Robert, Benjamin, and Percy. (Goodspeed's says they had 9 children.) I do not know when either Richard or Mary died, or have any more information on any of the children. Beverly Ransome FOSTER (1829-1894) married Eliza HOLT (1838-1882) in 1857 in Gibson County. Together they had the following children: William, Nancy, John, Mollie, Mattie, Luther, Dora, Jane, Florence, Maude, and Walton. Nancy married Joseph CUNNINGHAM in 1880 and Florence married George CUNNINGHAM in 1892. These are the only two children I have any information about. In 1883, Beverly married Emma PARISH. Together they had James R, S E, Rubie, and Beulah. Again I have no information on these children. I have found interesting entries in both the 1870 and 1880 censuses. As neighbors (only a couple households away) to Beverly FOSTER. In 1870, I found Matilda FOSTER, aged 40, with the following children: Henry (20), Martha (16), Nancy (15), Elizabeth (13), Frank (8), and Annie (4). Next to her was John FOSTER (22) and wife Ann (23). In 1880, some of these Fosters remain next to Beverly. One household has Martha, now 25, with sister Annie (17) and brother Frank (15). The next household has John (35) with Annie (35) and adopted son Robert (6). Does anyone know anything about these people?
