Electric Foster

My name is Terry Jay Foster and I am the Webmaster of this site.Who is this website researching? Basically, it is anyone with the last name of "Foster" on the 1850 census in Benton, Henry or Saint Clair Counties in Missouri.There is one exception, that is Maize R. Foster, whom we know was a resident in Benton County, Missouri in 1835 because of his participation on a Grand Jury.The table below lists the heads of these Foster families. Note that not all of them are actively discussed on this web site simply because we have not located an ancestor that is researching their lines. I will add a follow-up comment to this post and list ALL of the Foster''s on the census.Name Est yearPlacePageCityCountyStatePatriarchGasnerQ FosterM1811Virginia11bTeboHenryMOGarnerSampson FosterM1814Indiana39bBig CreekHenryMOSampsonEnoch FosterM1799Virginia40Big CreekHenryMOEnochBurrel FosterM1829Illinois18bSpringfieldHenryMOBurrelFranky FosterF1810Virginia18bSpringfieldHenryMO???Norman FosterM1799Virginia20fSpringfieldHenryMONormanA W FosterM1812Virginia318bLindseyBentonMOA WWilliam FosterM1817Tennessee300TomBentonMOJames Sr.John H FosterM1814Tennessee301TomBentonMOJohn HElizabeth FosterF1804Pennsylvania300bTomBentonMOWilliamRobert FosterM1827Tennessee300bTomBentonMOWilliamJohn FosterM1809North Carolina299bTomBentonMOJames Sr.Wm F FosterM1812Tennessee121District 79Saint ClairMOWm FJames FosterM1810Tennessee123District 79Saint ClairMOJames Sr.Daniel D FosterM1825Tennessee143District 79Saint ClairMODaniel DNote that James Foster, Sr is not on this list. He was either deceased or passed on by then. However, his son''s are listed, James (1810), William (1817) & John (1809). His other son, Samuel, was living with John. William Foster is missing too, having passed away in 1845. His widow, Elizabeth, is listed with his family. Robert is listed seperately with his family.
