I've run across my John Foster b. 1794 in a 1850 Census TN
Gibson Co. it says he was born in NC.
His other siblings I know of are James W. b. 1796 in TN,
& Margaret, b. 1803 in TN.
Prior to this we were led to believe they were born in England,
but the Census say other wise. We don't have there father or mother
pinned down, but from other researchers, & the numerious
usage of the names John & William in he descending line,
I'm led to believe its one or both of these names.
Does any one have a John or William Foster b. abt. 1776 + or -
in England or NC with at least 3of their issues, John, James W. Margaret,
with their birth dates, there is a good possibility that
other sibling were born in TN after 1803.
