The eleven children of Robert Foster and Elizabeth Garnett were (listed birth order does not agree with the narrative for some of these children): (10)

1. Robert Foster was born circa 1677-1685 in Gloucester County, Virginia and died circa 1720 in Essex County, Virginia, age 43. Robert Foster, Jr., born in Gloucester County, moved with his parents to Essex County when he was young. There he married Ann Lloyd, daughter of George and Joanna Lloyd, in 1719 (other researchers state 1706). She was born circa 1682 and possibly died after 1785. After the death of his father, Robert, Jr. inherited the plantation and land on which his parents had lived. It is likely that he lived with his parents and then with his widowed mother until her marriage to Robert Charlesworth in circa 1718. He then took over the plantation and married in circa 1720. However, he made his will and died circa 1720. He left his entire estate to his wife, Ann. They had no children. Ann later married George Pettit and sold her dower rights to the land to her husband’s younger brother, John.
