Dear Lincoln and Marshall County Researchers,

My wife and I are planning to attend the Chestnut Ridge Cousins'
Reunion June 9 and 10 at Henry Horton State Park. We plan to stay on
the following week to explore the area and research my families:
FOSTER, BROADAWAY, BRYANT, LUNA, My related families are: CRABTREE,
CUNNINGHAM, WOOTEN, EDMONSON, STRICKLAND, and MOSER.

My GGG Grandfather, Frederick FOSTER, purchased three adjacent parcels
of land totaling 289 acres. In 1835 the land was in Lincoln County but
when Marshall County was established in 1836, the line either went
through his property or south of it, putting him in Marshall County.

Following are my transcriptions of the two deeds. I would love to walk
on, or at least point to the property once owned by Frederick FOSTER.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
