  • Notes 
    • NOTABLE: Came to Massachusetts on ship Hercules, March 1633/4.

      The passenger list for ship Hercules lists a Thomas and a William:
      The Hercules left London, England March 24, 1633/4 and Southampton on April 18, 1634 with her master, John Kiddey, arriving in New England at an unknown date.

      Passenger List Entries:
      Foster, Thomas of Ipswich, Suffolk, bound for Boston (From Biddenden, Kent, bound for Weymouth and Braintree. Ref: Banks Mss. 36 pg 76)
      Foster, William of Ipswich, Suffolk, bound for Ipswich

      We presume (there is no proof uncovered to date) that the Thomas and William on the passenger list are the sons of Rev. Thomas Foster of Ipswich, England.

      It has been suggested that the wife of this Thomas Foster was named Abigail Wimes. She is who F. C. Pierce records as being the wife of the Rev. Thomas Foster (father of this Thomas).
