Posted on: Robertson County Texas Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Robertson/331 Surname: WELLS, WILLS, WHITED, WHITEHEAD, FOSTER ------------------------- Bob, Thanks so much for this informtion. I would greatly appreciate your look-ups. My family names would be John WELLS(or WILLS)and his family. One of his sons was named Oliver. My ggg grandmother was probably there as well. Her name was Leah and her last name may have been WHITED or WHITEHEAD at the time. If you have ANY information to show my family living in the Foster home, I would really like to get it. By the way, in the pamphlet for the Fort Worth Log Cabin Village, there is information on the FOSTER CABIN. It reads: "Harry A. Foster was born in 1814, in Tennessee. While living in Mississippi, he married Martha Ann Davis and together they had six children. In the latter part of 1852, the family made the long wagon trip to their new home near Port Sullivan, Texas, in Milam County. The Fosters built this two-story, nine room log home in the 1850's from the large oaks and cedars which grew in the Brazos River bottoms. The lean-to addition was built with lumber purchased from a mil in Port Sullivan. In 1969 Joseph William Foster, Jr., the great-grandson of Harry and Martha, donated the log home for restoration at the Village." The cabin is there in the village. As I mentioned in my last message, I have a book with more information that I got from the gift shop when I visited the cabin. Thanks again for your help.
