Isabella Foster died sometime after June 4, 1747, the date that she and her husband John Foster, along with John Haskew and his wife, Rachel, jointly sold to John Coffee of Spotsylvania County a tract of land in Orange County containing 137 acres (100 acres was taken from John Foster’s tract of 337 acres and 37 acres were taken from Haskew’s land).

Family

Isabella Golding married John Foster, the third son of Robert Foster and Elizabeth Garnett, born between 1681 and 1689 in Gloucester County, Virginia before they moved to Essex County. He was literate. He married Isabella before 1721 in Essex County since they are recorded together as buying land in 1721 in Spotsylvania County where they lived until 1741. John was active in politics in Spotsylvania as he is mentioned a few times in the county activities: witnessing deeds, wills, and serving for several years as deputy sheriff.
