My Fosters first showed up in Trinity County in 1858 and lived there until 1867 or 1868. They even showed up on the Confederate Indigent Families list, but they are not listed in the 1860 Federal census for Trinity county. My great-grandfather was GW Foster and his mother was Martha (Parker) Williams (she married twice after her first husband (my great-great grandfather), AW Foster, died. They later showed up in Brazos, Robertson, and Eastland Counties in Texas.
