FOSTER
I am researching the following FOSTERS known to have been in Woodville, Wilkinson Co. circa 1830-1845:
George A. FOSTER & Sarah FOSTER and their children Joseph A. FOSTER, Albert G(allatin) FOSTER, and Louisa Rebecca FOSTER.
Other children in this household were Henry A. FOSTER, Charles John FOSTER, Lucinda FOSTER, George FOSTER, Jr., William Wilson FOSTER and Juliana "Jula" FOSTER.
According to best available evidence to date this family relocated from Franklin Co., TN to Wilkinson Co. around 1830. George A. FOSTER was an immigrant from England and a shopkeeper as were his sons Joseph and Albert. They all operated businesses in Woodville and possibly Natchez. I believe George FOSTER died in 1833, Joseph A. FOSTER died in Nov., 1834, Albert G. FOSTER probably died in 1843 and Sarah died around 1837.
Other useful family links:
Albert G. FOSTER m. Sarah Jane NEWMAN of Natchez in 1835.
Louisa Rebecca FOSTER m. Peter ANDERSON in Madison Co., MS in1846.

SCOTT - VEAL - STEWART
Wanting to find out if there is any information on the Scott or Veal families. Both are the names of African-American families that orignated from the Woodville, Mississippi area. I am hoping that this would have been the name of a family or slave owner in the area that lead me to more information.
As it stands now the trail seems to end with ancestor by the name of Sherrod (also spelled Sherwood, Shared) Scott. Shared Scott and my Grandmother, Idelle Keller-Veal, were laborers on the Stewart Farm per the 1880 census. My Grandmother was previously married to a Preston Veal.
Any leads will be greatly appreciated.
