Foster, Bristol, VA , 1660 to NC, 1679
I am not researching these people, just entering information from one of my books "Davie County Heritage."
"Foster Family History - Margaret and Richard foster 'yeoman' arrived July 15, 1660 at the port of Bristol, Virginia.They were sold to Thomas Willis, a mariner, for four years.They served as indentured servants on plantations to pay for their oversea passage to America."
"Richard Foster was present to serve for court duty in Albemarle County (NC) in 1679.In 1722 part of Albemarle County lying to the west side of Chowan River was divided into a precinct called Bertie.Richard and Margaret's two sons, Richard and Robert Foster, lived in Bertie County between 1723 and 1741.Their names were recorded as witnesses to land deeds."
"Grandson Richard Foster was listed for taxes in 1769, 1771, and 1774 in Granville County, North Carolina..Richard Foster giving to his daughter, Mary Foster, a Negro slave and six cows on July 30, 1774.This was part of his will and probated on July 30, 1774."
His son Richard Foster was listed in Granville County on September 14, 1774.In 1779 he moved to Orange County. In 1781 he enlisted in the American Revolutionary War.....In 1801 the family moved to Rowan (County).The area he moved to was known as the Forks of the Yadkin.In 1836 this area became known as Davie County.Richard Jr. and Richard, Sr., are listed in Rowan County's 1800 census.Richard, Jr. later moved to Wake County.His will was probated in 1810."
