Hi All,

This is another posting about my Orrin/Oren E. Foster. . . . this is what I
know about his descendants . . . still hunting for his ancestors!

Somebody recently told me that they believe my 2great-granddad was born to
"aliens"! That he was put here from another planet, because we are having so
much trouble finding his parents and siblings, and confirming his actual birth
place!

Karen Foster Montgomery


Excerpt from Cochran book....

ORRIN E. FOSTER.

The subject of these notes was born in the State of Vermont, and settled in
Havana in 1835. He was one of the colony comprising Adams, Rockwell, Kemp,
and others referred to, in the sketch of Kemp and of Rockwell in this book."

Now folks, this colony they refer to, started out in Upper Canada and ended up
in 1835/1836 in Mason Co., Illinois. Their complete names are: Daniel Adams,
Northrop J. Rockwell, and Abel Wheeler Kemp. Daniel Adams was killed before
1876; Kemp moved to Wisconsin; Foster died in 1843 in Mason Co., IL; and
Rockwell was living in Troy, NY in 1876. Rockwell was born in: " Benson,
Vermont, on the 14th day of February, 1809. Benson, Whiting and Middletown,
Vermont, were respectively my home until my 18th year, when my father removed
to Watertown, New York, where I was a clerk in the extensive store of L.
Paddock, until my 22d birthday. I was offered a partnership in Demorestville,
Canada, with Mr. James Carpenter, who had been in business there a number of
years, and was well established. I accepted, and became a member of the firm
of Carpenter and Rockwell."

And, here's the 'rest of the story':
