Rev. Thomas Forster, Esq.

From https://minerdescent.com/2011/09/29/thomas-forster-1555/

Thomas  Forster (5) Esquire was born about 1555 in Gisburne, Yorkshire, England and was christened in  Brunton, Northumberland. His parents were Cuthbert FORSTER and Elizabeth BRADFORD.  Many sources say he was born in 1570, but that would mean he married at the age of ten.  He married first Margaret Forster on 22 Jan 1580 in Gisburne, Yorkshire, England.  He married second  Elizabeth CARR.   Thomas died 19 Jun 1648 in Brunton, Northumberland.  Many sources say Thomas died in Braunton, Devon, England.   The Forsters always lived in Northumberland, it not likely that Thomas would have moved to a similar sounding village on the other side of the country.

Margaret Forester was the daughter of Richard Forester of Tuggall,  Esq.  Thomas and Margaret had one daughter Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Carr  was born about 1570 in Gisburne, Yorkshire, England, she was too young to marry in 1580.   Her parents were  William CARR (Carre) Esq.  and Ursula BRANDLING.  Elizabeth died in  20 Sep 1594 in Gisburne, Yorkshire, England.  Some sources show children born later, maybe Thomas remarried.

The Reverend's will is dated June 19, 1648. He had a brother Sir Matthew. He married twice and from his second marriage to Elizabeth Carr, daughter of William Carr of Ford, Esquire was born
