Hello to all you Foster cousins. I'm hoping one of you will be able to
help me with my Foster family research. I'm stuck at the KY/VA state
line. Also, I'm beginning to doubt "family history" since I've been
trying to follow it and getting no where. Here's what little I have. I
hope someone will be able to recognize this branch and let me know.

James B. Foster (B=Burdett or Burtitt), b 6 Nov 1867 in VA, d 23 Mar
1934 in Wayne Co., KY. Married Isabelle McAninch, b 22 Feb 1867, place
unknown, d 17 Sep 1894 in Casey Co.,KY.
Children: Herbert Foster, b 17 Jan 1889, Casey Co., KY, d May 1969
Clayton Foster, b unknown, Casey Co., KY, d 1969
Oras Segal Foster (my grandfather), b 19 Jan 1891, Casey
Co., KY., d 20 Dec 1972, buried Casey Co., KY.

Isabelle died young and James married a second time. All the children
from that union had names beginning with "F". Florence, Fred, Flora,
Fitch, and Fisk. He married a third time as an elderly man and had no
children from that union.

I sure would appreciate any leads anyone can offer. Thanks. Gayle
