James Foster, 1827; Wm Tho Foster, 1801: SC>AL>TX
I'm attempting to find proof of the father of James Washington Foster, born 10 Apr 1827, SC, died 7 Oct 1863, GA. He lived in Chambers County, AL, in 1850 and 1860 and was killed at the Battle of Chickamauga. He married Mary Hathcock (daughter of Isaac Hathcock, Russell Co., AL) on 29 Jan 1850 (she remarried John Cain later, don't know when), but Mary Hathcock Foster Cain is buried in the Black Oak Baptist Cemetery near Riley Springs in Hopkins County, Texas. They moved to Hopkins Co., TX before 1880. Can't find them in 1870, I think they were in Mississippi. Their children were:
John Wesley Foster, 7 Jan 1851, Chambers Co, AL;
Sarah Ann Foster Griggs, 26 Feb 1854 - 29 Jun 1895;
William Thomas Foster, 24 Jan 1858, buried in Black Oak Cemetery, Hopkins Co, TX;
James Nicholas Foster, 24 Jan 1858;
Joseph Robert Young Foster, Sep 1859;
Mary Jane Foster, 26 Sep 1861 (possibly died in Hopkins Co.)
George Washington Foster, 22 Mar 1863.
All were born in Chambers Co., AL. Sarah was my great grandmother. I believe James Washington Foster was the son of William Thomas Foster, SC, 1801-1871, and Lucy Stribling from Union Co, SC, reference the 1840 Randolph County, Alabama, census.Valeree Vaughan disputes that James is a son, however does not show who the fifth son is on the 1840 census.The names of James Foster's sons fit with the children of William Thomas Foster's sons.And why does this family all live in the same part of Hopkins County, Texas, that William Thomas Foster and Lucy Stribling Foster were in until they died and are buried in the same place if this is not the same family???Can anyone shed light on this subject.Another question -- on the 1840 census, there are 2 daughters not named in Val's list of William Thomas Foster and Lucy Stribling Foster's children.Does anyone know who they were -- could one be Martha, b. 1822, SC, married Thomas Yarbrough in Chambers Co, AL, where she is buried.She lived near my g-g grandfather, James Washington Foster in 1850 in Chambers Co, AL.It would be great to have some documentation posted on proof of who William Thomas Foster's children were.
Some of my data is based on old family histories in the Hopkins Library and old county books, other data is from documents such as Civil War Records, census', death certificates and marriage licenses.I have death dates for children of James and Mary:William Thomas Foster, James Nick Foster, Joseph Robert Young Foster, George Washington Foster, and Sarah Foster Griggs - they all died in Hopkins Co., TX.Another mystery is the Young connection, reference middle name of youngest son.Some in the family said his first name was Josiah, but my uncle called him (great) Uncle Joe Foster.Any help will be greatly appreciated.M.
