Who would you tie them with, if anyone? Do you have any idea how to go
about finding out where in England John Foster came from? Perley ties
him to the Tomkins (before his marriage to their daughter, Martha.
Pierce claims Buckinghamshire.
One reason to tie the two families together is their arrival time in the
same area is approx. the same and the area is so close. Everything else
I've read about them denies any connection.
