I have a puzzle and nothing but a dead end on
one of my lines. There were at least seven brothers and sisters in the SW
Mississippi area during the late 1800s. It is likely they were in Franklin
County, but may have been in either of the surrounding counties (Amite, Adams,
Lincoln, Pike, Copiah, lawrence,
Wathall, Wilkinson). These Foster siblings were:
Fanny Foster m. Monroe MORGAN, George Foster, Joseph Foster, Nan Foster m.
_____________BULLOCK, Samuel Foster, Vick Foster married Frank BUTTON, Delton
W. Foster (1860-1937) m. Lelia M. EADY. Who were the
parents of these children? Where did they come from? Where did they go?
Delton W. Foster and Lelia
Eady Foster are my ggrandparents.
There is a family rumor that perhaps Delton was born in Winnsboro, Louisiana,
and that he and Lelia married in Franklin County,
Mississippi. Proof? I have none. Delton and Lelia
were the parents of: Maude Foster m. Clifford TILLMAN, Lula Foster m. Alex
DAVIS, Otis Foster m. Ophelia LOFTON, William Foster, Addie Foster m. John
SUMRALL, Albert Foster m. __________ MOORE, Lonnie Foster m. Rhetha ___________. Some of the children of Delton and Lelia can be found in Lincoln and Lawrence County in the
early part of the 1900s.
