About Gideon Foster

A Gideon Foster was listed in Hopkinton, Washington Co., RI, in the 1790 and 1800 US census:

1790 US census, Hopkinton, Washington Co., RI, Gideon Foster: Free White Persons - Males - Under 16: 1; Free White Persons - Males - 16 and over: 1; Free White Persons - Females: 2; Number of Household Members: 4.

1800 US census, Hopkinton, Washington Co., RI, Gedeon Foster: Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 1; Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44: 1; Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44: 1; Number of Household Members Under 16: 1; Number of Household Members Over 25: 2; Number of Household Members: 3.

But the age of Gideon Allen in the 1800 census shows that his age was between 26-44, or born 1756-1774, so this is not Gideon Allen husband of Sarah Foster (Allen).
