6. | Foster, John was born about 1618 in England; died in (inv) 19 Jan 1687/8 in Salem,Essex,MA. Notes:
BIRTH: No birth rec found. John stated he was about 52 years old in deposition, 11 Nov 1670 (Essex Co. Deeds, 3:99 [FHL #866015]).
MAR #1: No mar rec found. However, it is clear from the estate records of Ralph Tomkins of Salem, 1666, that John Foster was married to one of Tomkins' daughters (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 2:76-76 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). Ralph Tomkins emigrated to New England on the ship "Truelove" in 1635 with his wife Katherine and children Elizabeth, Marie, and Samuel (Peter Wilson Coldham, ed, THE COMPLETE BOOK OF EMIGRANTS, 1607-1660, [Baltimore, 1987], 166-67 [FHL #973 W2col]). Of these two daughters, it is suspected that Mary became the wife of John Foster, as he named his first daughter Mary. Mary was also closer in age to John Foster, Elizabeth being about five years older than John.
MAR #2: No mar rec found. Children were born to John Foster and wife Martha in Salem, 1658-77. Martha is clearly not the dau of Ralph Tomkins (see above), as she was too young to have been the mother of John Foster's older children. Martha deposed in 1670 that she was about 34 years old (Essex Co. Deeds, 3:100 [FHL #866015]). John Foster and Martha were apparently married during the six-year gap between the birth of Samuel in 1652 and Benjamin in 1658.
DEATH: No death rec found. See the will of John Foster of Salem, 16 Nov 1687, proved 14 Mar 1687/8, inv 19 Jan 1687/8, Suffolk Co. Probate, #1625, (o.s.) 10:266-68, 286-87 (FHL #584130).

John married Tomkins, Mary about 1647. Mary (daughter of Tomkins, Ralph and Foster, Katherine) was born about 1619 in of Wendover,Bucks,Eng; died before 1657 in Salem,Essex,MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
|
7. | Tomkins, Mary was born about 1619 in of Wendover,Bucks,Eng (daughter of Tomkins, Ralph and Foster, Katherine); died before 1657 in Salem,Essex,MA. Notes:
BIRTH: No birth rec found. Mary is listed with her family on the passenger list of the ship "Truelove" to New England in 1635, age 14 (Peter Wilson Coldham, THE COMPLETE BOOK OF EMIGRANTS, 1607-1660 [Baltimore, 1987], 167 [FHL #973 W2col]). Her age is probably a little understated, as no Mary Tomkins baptism is found at Wendover 1620-1622. Wendover BTs for 1619 are missing.
MAR: No mar rec found. However, it is clear from the estate records of Ralph Tomkins of Salem, 1666, that John Foster was married to one of Tomkins' daughters (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 2:76-76 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). Of the 2 daughters of Ralph Tomkins who emigrated to New England on the ship "Truelove" in 1635, it is suspected that it was Mary who became the wife of John Foster, as he named his first daughter Mary, and Mary was closer in age to John Foster, Elizabeth being about five years older than John.
DEATH: No death rec found. Mary was dead by 1657 when her husband was married to his second wife. It is assumed that she died at Salem where the family resided.
