Comments

• The family tree gets rather confusing with him. Several sources listed his date of death as 6/16/1679. This would have meant that he died at the age of 18 and having fathered 10 children. His marriage date is listed as 1682, further leading me to conclude that the 1679 date is inaccurate. I found another source listed his date of death as 1719.
• There is also some confusion as to whether he married Elizabeth Jarret of Mary Foster. Most sources list his wife as Elizabeth and I found another source listing Mary Foster as his mother. I'm wondering if someone got them confused.
• Then there is the confusion as to whether his father is Francis Foster or Thomas Foster. Still researching that one. Okay, figured it out. Francis is his father, Thomas is his grandfather. Whew! Are we back to Europe yet?
