I wouldn't give up so easily.My grandmother told me of this heritage too, and she was a great family historian.So far, everything she has said has been true.I am familiar with this book, but not this particular piece of text.It doesn't say that Mrs Foster and Mrs Collins were not related or that they were friends and related.Mrs Foster was a McDowell, there were a lot of attorney's and preachers in this family.Since this is the third confirmation of oral history connecting Collins & Foster, I wouldn't dismiss your grandmother's claim.Keep researching.
