I have a Mary Anne Foster, b. New Kent Co. VA, wife of Roger Thompson. Mary
Anne Foster is said to be the daughter of a Joseph Foster, b. England and
her mother unknown. Her father, Joseph Foster is said to be the son of an
unknown Foster and Mary Bassett. Mary Bassett's parents are said to be
Anne Dickerson and unknown Bassett. Could this family be in some way
connected to the Foster family in the message below? I would
appreciate any help or comments.
