>> Suggest instead of Indiana Fosters we call it Hoosier Fosters (Who's your
>>Fosters?). Ok,Ok, never mind.
>> My Indiana Fosters begin with Thomas Foster md to Sarah Coffin in
>>Cincinatti about 1819. They had at least one son, Benjamin Franklin
>>Foster, b. 1820, d. 1896, who was a Universalist Preacher and Grand
>>Secretary of the Odd Fellows in Indiannapolis for many years. I am
trying
>>to chase down more info on Thomas, whose middle name may have been Fitch.
>>There's a lot of info on Benj Franklin Foster, my gggfather, who was
fairly
>>well known in Indiannapolis and had some lengthy obituaries. BFF married
>>Ellen Douglas Reed in 1845 and they had six children two of whom died
>>young. The others were Frank S. Foster (possibly Franklin), Charles
>>Benjamin Foster (my ggf), Grace Belle Foster, and Frederick C. Foster who
>>was Superintendent of Schools in Canton, NY according to an obit. Except
>>for Chas B., I know little about the others.
>> If this ties in with any of your Fosters I'd love to hear about it.
