Dear Sandie;

I am grasping at straws here, but I have hit a stonewall with my Foster
line.

The name is David Foster, born in 1755 in Hartford, Ct and died Dec.16, 1844
in Lexington, Greene Co. NY.
I am looking for siblings......and you said the 3 brothers had died in
Greene Co and are buried there.
Could David be another brother? I don't know his parents either. As soon
as I have time I'll be going to
Lexington to check any records at Town Historian in Windham.
I hope you have a David in your tree........as I am really stumped.

Dorothy Foster
