George Foster (Robert1) was born circa 1695 in Essex County, Virginia and died in 1789 in Charlotte County, Virginia, age 94. Note: George died between February 17 and June 1, 1789 (when his will was made and when it was probated). Some additional information is from Michael Motes. (12) George married Mary Singleton, daughter of Robert Singleton and Sarah Crow, on November 29, 1722. (13) Mary was born in 1696. See Singleton family history. Mary Singleton Foster died prior to George’s death. Her death is estimated to be about 1780 in Charlotte County. Mary was about 43 when her last child was born. It is possible that she died not too many years later, since she was still young enough to bear more children.
