General Notes: Wife - Eliza Jane Berlin
The old Foight homestead was on the line of the northern turnpike, which before the building of the Pennsylvania railroad, was one of the main thoroughfares between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. In her day she was famous for the cakes she made and for a beverage called "spruce beer," which she supplied to travelers on the pike. She and her husband Foight first attended Denmark Manor Reformed church, where now repose their remains. This church was about five miles from where they lived, and before they possessed a horse they traveled to the church afoot. In the latter years of their lives a Methodist Episcopal church was established at Murrysville and they united with it. When a small girl she was among the company who welcomed Marquis LaFayette upon his visit from France to the United States. She many times spoke to her friends in later years of the warm welcome extended by the people to the famous general upon that occasion.
