| 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).
OCC: Husbandman, yeoman
