GEDCOM Note
John Foster, baptized in Ewell, Surrey, as recorded: "8 May 1634, Johanes filius Christopherii Foster baptized." He lived in Southampton and left a long line of descendants in Long Island and Connecticut, some of whom hold a family reunion every year on July 4, at the Foster Farm of Walter N Foster near Wapping, Connecticut. We do not know the name of his wife but the Will of his son "John Foster, Gentleman," proved 27 November 1727, says: "In the name of God, Amen, I, John Foster, Gentleman....my son Thomas shall provide for his grandmother during life." Dated 10 December 1725. (Note: John Foster was grandson of Christopher Foster and born 8 February 1662. His homestead left to Thomas is the south corner of Main Street, Southampton and Bridgehampton Roads, now owned by heirs of Capt Isaac Sayre. The old house stood very near the corner.)" Quoted from the Town Records.
