Notes

http://www.jeaniesgenealogy.com/2014/11/isaac-and-john-foss-of-ches...

If Isaac was the son of either Samuel or John Foss Jr. then he must have been born by 1700. He married Abigail Hinkson on 5 December 1717 in Greenland. The had at least five children. John and Isaac Jr. were baptised in 1722, Abigail in 1724, Thomas in 1728, all in Greenland. The also had a son Timothy who I believe must have been born in Chester.

On the 30th day of April 1729 Isaac bought, for 80 pounds, Jonathan Elkin's land in Chester, NH. One day prior he and Abigail sold all their property in Greenland to Thomas Berry. Isaac continued to buy and sell land in Chester. He deeded each of his sons land. In his last deed, dated Dec 25, 1760 he and his son Thomas sold land, their wives also had to sign the deed. Isaac's wife was Judith, so Abigail had died some time prior to 1760 and Isaac had remarried.

Isaac was not mentioned much in the history of Chester. He was a surveyor in 1730. I wish there was more to tell, but that's all I have for now.

He was a surveyor.

Sons:

  1. Isaac, Jr.;
  2. John;
  3. Thomas &
  4. Timothy.

Daughter:

  1. Abigail.
