General Notes: Husband - John Foster


They lived on the farm above Franklin, where his people had settled, until 1812, when they moved down the river to a location opposite the mouth of East Sandy, thence a few years later removing farther down the river, to the place on which he spent the remainder of his life. The survey of this place was the first official survey made by Richard Irwin after his appointment as deputy surveyor of Venango County in 1824. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. [CAB, 576]


Notes: Marriage

Squire McDowell performed their wedding ceremony.
