NOTE: There were several Samuel Fosters in the area about the same age as this one. That Samuel Foster of Reading is identical to the Samuel Foster born in Salem in 1680 is suggested by the fact that the Reading Samuel Foster was earlier of Lynn, which borders Salem on the south. He apparently moved to Reading after Samuel Foster of Lynn purchased land there from John Brown, 22 Aug 1709 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, 15:347 [FHL #554005]). Other Samuel Fosters identified in Essex County have been disqualified, and it is known from his father's will that the Samuel Foster born in Salem was living in 1728. It is presumed, therefore, that the ancestor is the Lynn/Reading Samuel Foster.
