Hi All!

I'd like to learn more about my GGG grandfather,
George Washington FOSTER (1824-1891). He was
son of Thomas FOSTER (?-?) and Letha (Maletta)
THRELDKELD (?-?).

George Washington FOSTER married Eliza Jane
POINDEXTER and had (at least) one son:

George Thomas FOSTER (1862-1941), m.
Ethel Rebecca YOUNG (1865-1950)

I'd *like* to know where and exactly when George
Washington FOSTER (1824-1891), Eliza Jane
POINDEXTER (?-?), Thomas FOSTER (?-?) and
Letha (Maletta) THRELDKELD (?-?) all were
born and died.

I *do* know that my GG Grandfather, George
Thomas FOSTER (1862-1941) was born 6 FEB
1862 in Owenton, Owen, KY.

On another "front," the FOSTER's in my family have
always maintained that the great American Folk
Music Composer, Stephen FOSTER, (i.e., "My Old
Kentucky Home, Old Susanna, etc) is a relative, but
I and a 2nd cousin have been unable to find the
"connection" if one exists! Can anyone halp?

'Would also like to correspond w/ other FOSTER
researchers who descend from this family!

Thanks!
