_UID: 28866531B75A8441B8F8F21AD4AF41AF4984
Baptism: 5 May 1588, Cranbrook, Kent, England, UK

Notes:

Sailed to Massachusetts on ship Elizabeth (1635)

The ship's list includes a Patience Foster, age 40, which places her birth about 1595. She sailed with her son Hopestill and her mother Rachel, widow of John Bigge. The ship passenger manifest has wrong age for Rachel.

When Patience's husband, Richard Foster, died without a will his estate was administrated by the Court and care of minor children (John, Mary, and Hopestill) was given to Patience's brother John Bigge who was born Jun 29, 1598 and would be age 32 in 1630. Patience renouced the decision of the Court.

We do not know what happened to the minor child John Foster given to John Bigge. It is unlikely the minor child is our ancestor, but for now we retain information about this Foster family as a possible connection.

Patience married Richard Foster Abt 1618, Biddenden, Kent, England, UK. Richard (son of Thomas Foster and Dorothy Austin) was born Abt 1595, Biddenden, Kent, England, UK; died 1630, Biddenden, Kent, England, UK. [Group Sheet]
