  • Notes 
    • Samuel's Baptism was at First Church of Salem, MA

      The text from Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary of the Settlers of New England" states: SAMUEL, Salem, m. 14 May 1676, Sarah Stuard, had Samuel, b. 18 May 1677, d. in few mos.; John, 30 Nov. 1678; Samuel, again, 26 July 1680; Ann, 26 July 1683; Sarah, 9 Oct. 1685; Joseph, 14 Mar. 1687; Benjamin, 24 May 1689; and by w. Margery had Richard, 19 Dec. 1693; Mary, 8 Nov. 1695; Margaret, 3 Feb. 1697; Jonathan, 1699; Bartholomew, 23 Feb. 1702; and Margery, 4 Feb. 1706. All of Samuel's children were born at Salem.

      The Pierce "Foster Genealogy" book uses fractional suffixes to Individual Numbers for the last five children. It is believed because these last five children were discovered after other numbers were assigned. (Renumbering would be a major chore in the 1890's).

      I beleive Sarah's maiden name is recorded wrong in this record. But, it is possible brothers Samuel and John Foster married two "Stuard" sisters.

      "Margery" wife of Samuel after Sarah "Stuard"
      Last child of Sarah and Samuel was born 24 May 1689. Believe this record is mistaken on first wife's maiden name (should be Steward). Also, Samuel's second wife's given name was Mary and "Margery" was her maiden name.
