Stephen I checked (available) censuses and found this: 1860 - 2nd Dist, Scott Co, TN: FOSTER, Morris - age 40 - born KY Roda - age 39 - born KY John - age 17 - born KY Jane - age 13 - born TN James - age 11 - born TN Elizabeth - age 9 - born TN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1870 - 2nd Civil Dist, Scott Co, TN FOSTER, Morris - age 52 - born KY Rhoda - age 53 - born KY (Living with them is Henry FOSTER, age 26, farm hand - not sure he is a son...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1880 - 8th Civil Dist, Scott Co, TN Foster, Morris - age 60 - born KY, father b KY, mother b KY Rhody - age 59 - born TN, father b TN, mother b TN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1900 - 2nd Dist, Scott Co, TN FOSTER, Morris - age 77 - born Dec 1822 - widowed - living with: PHILLIPS, Charles - age 53 Sallie - age 55 Bettie - age 31 MORRIS - age 23 RHODA - age 21 James C (hard to read) - age 20 Lora - age 13 Burnette - age 15 Freeman - age 8 Morris FOSTER is shown as "father-in-law" - Sallie PHILLIPS' father? This census also shows Morris' birth date as December 1822. Since Charles and Sallie had a son, Morris plus a daughter, Rhoda, I would suspect a strong family connection. Happy hunting.
