General Notes: Husband - Thomas A. Forster
The Fosters were noted for their learning and ability generations before they came to America. They were of that God-fearing liberty-loving race which fought so long and so fearlessly against the religious intolerance which devastated Scotland in the bloody years before the time of Cromwell. They were among the refugees who fled to the North of Ireland for peace and safety, and where they soon became a family of note and influence among the Scotch-Irish colonists. From this stock came Alexander Foster, who, with his three young sons, William, James, and John, emigrated from Londonderry in the year 1725, and settled in Freehold, New Jersey. [HWC 1882, 324] This version of who immigrated is slightly different from other sources.
