1881 census for Weardale District please
I am looking for Joseph FOSTER - Sometimes spelled FORSTER

Bartholomew Hoskins.
Bartholomew married Mrs. Dorcas Foster, mother of "several children" on

Bartholomew Hoskins, an ancient planter, was in Virginia by 1616. He
undoubtedly made a number of trips from Virginia and England as he
maintained a home in each location. On one of these trips back
