• Notes

  The origins for Reginald Foster (birth and parents) are still in question. Many possibilities have been suggested but none proven. Refer to Pierce's book Foster Genealogy starting on page 110 for information on this Reginald Foster. This book claims Reginald is from Brunton, Northumberland in England, but that is just one of the possible origins put forth by various researchers. Included is some history and a will. He sailed to America between 1636-1638 with wife and children. Where in England he was born, married, and lived prior to moving to New England is unknown, although there is much speculation. Reginald may have married three times, twice in England. Judith might be his second (not first) wife. The order of births of the children of Reginald and Judith is in question. The birth dates might be associated with the wrong individuals. Court records give his name as Randall.
