My gggGrandfather James William Foster came to Lawrence Co. TN & Giles Co. in the early 1800 they then moved to Northwestern AL & then settled into the Northeastern Countys of MS. James had a older brother John, b. 1794, no info on him. They had a younger sister Margaret, b. 1803, she married a Archibald Strickland, in abt 1823 in Lawrence Co. Tn. they later moved to Giles, Co. Tn. In the Family Tree Maker, WFT CD # 10 I have found a very large data base on these Stricklands, over 18,000 people. I hope this helps some one. J.R.
