When you see a “+” in front of a number (380) it means they had children. First Generation 1. Richard FOSTER * was born about 1723 in Gloucester, Virginia, United States. He died in Dec 1794 in Surry, Virginia, United States. An entry in the early records of Kingston Parish register shows a Richard born in 1736 and married to a Susannah and may be more correct. In 1607, three ships carrying over a hundred adventurers crossed the Atlantic, not knowing what they would find on the other side. After landing at Cape Henry, in what is today Virginia Beach, they set out to explore the surrounding rivers and bays. Shortly afterwards our Richard Foster or his ancestors arrived in Virginia.

Foster shows that a James Richard Foster (Born in 1619 and immigrated to Virginia in 1635 could be a possible grandfather or great grandfather to my Richard Foster born about 1723). As of 25 December 2008 no paper trail exists to proof that connection. But, a very strong DNA connection does exist between many members of Group 7 of men bearing the surname of Foster and having been tested by http://www.fosterdna.com. I would encourage the reader of this information to see the genealogies presented here in both DNA testing and a paper trail of their ancestors. We may be able in time to prove our heredity ties into a common ancestor either in the Early American or in England. I encourage you to be DNA tested by clicking on this link. Passage was paid by Bartholomew Hoskins, ancient planter, and both he and Richard (James Richard Foster b. abt 1619) migrated to Lower Norfolk County, VA where both became prominent members of the social and political society. Capt. Ed Dittmer, retired naval officer, was the first to cast doubts on Richard being the immigrant and placed James Foster of Gloucester County as the most likely immigrant. This revelation was met with little interest by most researchers since it broke the tie with English royalty. However, there were several researchers, including Miriam Wood Dye of Memphis, TN, Gerneva Foster Dennis of Abilene (now Chicago), and myself who required more than "tradition" to accept the 1635 immigrant as our Immigrant. We offer the following information for your consideration: Richard Foster of the 1635 HMS Safety was transported by Bartholomew Hoskins. We have documentation that Bartholomew married, in England, Dorcus Foster, widow with two small children. Bartholomew was called father by Richard. (March 2, 1639/40.) Conclusion - Richard of the 1635 HMS Safety was the son of Dorcus Foster and an unknown father and the step-son of Bartholomew Hoskins. We must assume that it was this Richard Foster, who migrated, with Bartholomew Hoskins, into Lower Norfolk County, VA. We do know that Bartholomew Hoskins and Mrs. Dorcus Foster had children and one was a daughter, Dorcus, who married a Richard Foster (from Hoskins family history). However, it could not have been the 1635 Richard Foster as she was only 5-6 years old when Richard called Bartholomew father and besides Dorcus was his half-sister. 22 January 2009 Send corrections & proof sources to Gary Foster by E-mail mailto:[email protected] Page 4 Use the top of page menu buttons in your Adobe Reader to navigate this website Richard & Susannah FOSTER * (10 generations in America from Virginia to California) Modified Register Format Conclusions - There were two Richard Foster's found in Lower Norfolk. The second Richard Foster could have been the Richard Foster who came to Virginia in late 1630s or early 1640s and was a lawyer. He has been reported as Richard Worster. He was the Clerk of the Court, etc and signed his name as ―ffoster" which looks like a "W." Now, both Fosters were literate as indicated by many documents. There was at least one other Richard Foster in Lower Norfolk. He was found on Bennett’s Creek on March 25, 1653/4 and signed his name with an "X", i.e., he could neither read nor write. So, this separates him from the above two. It could be he who married Ann Jackson and fathered a child before marriage as shown in Lower Norfolk records. There was another Richard Foster (Deed Book B, Lower Norfolk Co., VA, p. 51) at an inquest concerning the death of Jacob Bradshaw on April 11, 1647. This Richard was also illiterate and signed his name with a mark "ff." He could have been the same illiterate Richard Foster (above). However, his mark was "ff" and not "X." Conclusion - There were three and possibly four Richard Fosters in Lower Norfolk who are potentially our immigrant: (1) Richard Foster of the Safety, step-son of Bartholomew Hoskins, (2) Richard Foster, the lawyer, (3) Richard Foster, who may have married Anne Jackson whose mark was "X" and, (4) Richard Foster, the Witness, whose mark was "ff." Now which, if any, was our immigrant? One of these Richard Foster's married Dorcus Hoskins and received a land patent in 1651 for the transport of himself, his wife Dorcus, and daughter, Dorcus, Jr. He probably was Richard Foster, the Lawyer, as Richard, the Step-son was in England during this time (more on this later). This Richard Foster was probably the Richard Foster who was a member of the House of Burgess and was called first Lt.

Noël Coward at ‘Look Out’ - Firefly, Jamaica PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL NOËL COWARD SOCIETY - 1- www.noëlcoward.net hat an amazing month March was! Apart from reasonable weather, two of the most significant events for me marked an early opening of Spring EDITORIAL long before an Easter chick was a wink in a cockerel’s eye. Out of the blue came a charming invitation from Julian Clary for the officers of the Society to visit The Old Manor - but forever Goldenhurst in the eye of the Coward faithful - for lunch and a celebration of the completed renovation of Noël’s country retreat in Kent and the publication of Julian’s novel Briefs Encountered. As Daniel Massey said once about an invitation to Noël’s for lunch, “Well, you don’t turn that down!” And we didn’t! More on the visit in this edition. The climax of the month was the opening of Star Quality - The World of Noël Coward at the Lincoln Center in New York. This exhibition has been rightly trumpeted in Home Chat for the past few editions and the result did not let the herald down. This really is an impressive achievement. As a result of an initial partnership between the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (NYPL) and The Noël Coward Foundation (NCF) the idea was born - and together with other partners - the exhibition was created.
