Hi Bob, Thanks for posting the information on the Union Co. SC Fosters. That information is new to me and I'm glad to have it.
I think that the Fosters may have married into the Johnston family twice, or married into 2 Johnston families. There's Josiah, son of Geo and Mary Singleton, who m. Elizabeth Johnston/Johnson and the Johnston name runs in that line.
Then there's the James Johnston Foster, also of Charlotte Co, who is the son of James Foster, the Taylor, who moved to Charlotte from Amelia Co. I don't know how James the Taylor relates to the Fosters of Charlotte. But James Johnston Foster had a brother Joshua and I wonder if he married Mary Foster, dau of Josiah Foster and Elizabeth Johnston. Others think Joshua was the son of Richard Foster of Prince Edward co.
And the name Marston coming up in James the Taylor's line and about the same time in John Foster/Frances Worsham family is interesting. Are they connected?Lots more work to do!
