William Beverly son of Robert Beverley, the historian, was born about 1698, lived at "Blandfield," Essex county, which he built and which still remains in the possession of the family (in 1977). He was clerk of Essex county from 1716 to 1745, Burgess for Orange county 1734-1740 and for Essex 1742-1747 and 1748-1749. With Sir John Randolph, Richard Randolph and John Robinson, he obtained on Sept. 6, 1636, a grant of 118,490 acres called "Beverley Manor," in Augusta county, though he had the chief interest. He married Elizabeth Bland, (born May 29, 1706) daughter of Richard Bland of "Jordan's" Prince George county, and died on or before 1766.

WEBSITE: (3 Oct 2002): www.genealogy.com World Family Tree, Volume 85, Tree 573. Researcher

here says that due to all the times the name RANSOM is used by both of the sons--Ransom and Peter, I

believe that this woman was NOT a Rand. The name RAND does not appear anywhere in the pedigree.

With Southern naming patterns using the surnames of the women--sometimes for many generations ,

where are the RANDs? No one has yet been able to produce a document of any sort which would

connect a Susannah RAND to a Richard FOSTER. (27 Jun 2001)

DEATH: Not mentioned in Richard Foster's will, presumably Susannah was dead by the time the will

was drawn up, as was the daughter (Elizabeth Foster) who bore Susannah Ransome Clark, the

granddaughter mentioned in the will.

BIOGRAPHY: Later information shows that this Richard Foster's passage was paid by Bartholomew

Hoskins, ancient planter, and both him and Richard migrated to Lower Norfolk County, VA where both

became prominent members of the social and political society.

Capt. Ed Dittmer, retired naval officer, was the first to cast doubts on Richard being the immigrant and

placed James Foster of Gloucester County as the most likely immigrant. This revelation was met with

little interest by most researchers since it broke the tie with English royalty. However, there were

several researchers, including Miriam Wood Dye of Memphis, TN, Gerneva Foster Dennis of Abilene

(now Chicago), and myself who required more than "tradition" to accept the 1635 immigrant as our

immigrant. We offer the following information for your consideration:

Richard Foster of the 1635 HMS Safety was transported by Bartholomew Hoskins. We have

documentation that Bartholomew married, in England, Dorcus Foster, widow with two small children.

Bartholomew was called father by Richard. (March 2, 1639/40.)

Conclusion - Richard of the 1635 HMS Safety was the son of Dorcus Foster and an unknown father and

the step-son of Bartholomew Hoskins. We must assume that it was this Richard Foster who migrated,

with Bartholomew Hoskins, into Lower Norfolk County, VA.

We do know that Bartholomew Hoskins and Mrs. Dorcus Foster had children and one was a daughter,

Dorcus, who married a Richard Foster (from Hoskins family history). However, it could not have been

the 1635 Richard Foster as she was only 5-6 years old when Richard called Bartholomew father and

besides Dorcus was his half-sister.

Conclusions - There were two Richard Foster's found in Lower Norfolk. The second Richard Foster

could have been the Richard Foster who came to Virginia in late 1630s or early 1640s and was a lawyer.

He has been reported as Richard Worster. He was the Clerk of the Court, etc and signed his name as "

ffoster" which looks like a "W." Now, both Fosters were literate as indicated by many documents.

There was at least one other Richard Foster in Lower Norfolk. He was found on Bennetts Creek on

March 25, 1653/4 and signed his name with an"X", i.Ed., he could neither read nor write. So, this

separates him from the above two. It could be he who married Ann Jackson and fathered a child before

marriage as shown in Lower Norfolk records.

There was another Richard Foster (Deed Book B, Lower Norfolk Co., VA, p. 51) at an inquest

concerning the death of Jacob Bradshaw on April 11,1647. This Richard was also illiterate and signed

his name with a mark "ff." He could have been the same illiterate Richard Foster (above). However, his

mark was "ff" and not "X."

Conclusion - There were three and possibly four Richard Fosters in LowerNorfolk who are potentially our

immigrant: (1) Richard Foster of the Safety, step-son of Bartholomew Hoskins, (2) Richard Foster, the

lawyer, (3) Richard Foster, who may have married Anne Jackson whose mark was "X" and, (4) Richard

Foster, the Witness, whose mark was "ff."

Now which, if any, was our immigrant? One of these Richard Foster's married Dorcus Hoskins and

received a land patent in 1651 for the transport of himself, his wife Dorcus, and daughter, Dorcus, Jr. He

probably was Richard Foster, the Lawyer, as Richard, the Step-son was in England during this time

(more on this later). This Richard Foster was probably the Richard Foster who was a member of the

House of Burgass and was called first Lt. and then Capt. and then Major Foster and followed his father-in

-law, Bartholomew Hoskins, and brother-in-law, Richard Hoskins into North Carolina. We can eliminate

him as our immigrant. Richard Foster, step-son of Bartholomew, was in England from 1648 to1654. He

could be our immigrant. Then there are the illiterate Richard Foster's. They are possible candidates,

however, not likely as we must assume that our immigrant was literate as he came from a knighted

father, Sir Robert Foster.

There was a Richard Foster who received 200 acres of land in Mackjack Bay (later called Gloucester

County, VA). This land joined Col. George Ludlow, who was in the records of Jamestown and Lower

Norfolk Counties. Now, Richard Foster, step-son of Bartholomew Hoskins was in England until 1654

and the land was patented on April 1, 1655. Could this have been the Richard Foster who patented that

land? Could this have been Richard Foster who married Susan Garnett and became our immigrant

ancestor. We have no proof or even an indication that it is so - the land or the marriage.

So, considering all of these Richards, the step-son is the most likely, "IF" our ancestor immigrant was a

Richard Foster. If we assume this, then all the records in Lower Norfolk that deals with Richard Foster

must concern the others. If this be so, then what was our immigrant doing from1635 to 1655?

Even the doubters disagree with, is the more likely Richard Foster, our immigrant: (1), (2), (3), or (4). I

(Bill Foster) guess I am the most deviant of them all, along with Capt. Ed (I cannot speak for Miriam or

Geneva), as we do not believe that a Richard Foster was our immigrant.

Our candidate is the James Foster who was living in Kingston Parish,Gloucester (now Matthews)

County, VA and was a neighbor of John Garnett. The Foster's and the Garnett's were closely

associated and intermarried several generations. Robert and John Foster, brothers and assumed

siblings of Richard Foster, bought land in Essex County in 1692 close to a James Foster. Although

circumstantial, it is compelling evidence that Robert named his first sons, Robert and James and not

Richard (Richard was his fourth child, after John). We present this information to you for your

consideration and to elicit your comments.

"Thomas Foster, White Church, Hampshire, England. Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Robert

Foster, his brother, Judge of the King's Bench. Thomas' daughter married Thomas Brooks."

"The Fosters were a branch of the ancient family of Etherstone in Durham County. Thomas and Robert

were the grand-sons of Alexander Conyers, Earl of Bucan, who was descended from Roger de Quincy,

Earl of Winchester, Magna Charta Baron, and from David 1st, King of Scotland. King David's father was

Malcolm III, who married Margaret, daughter of Edward, son of Edmund "Ironsides Saxon" King of

England, descended from Alfred the Great. King David's grand-father Duncan I, was murdered by

Macbeth; and this royal line goes back without a break to Fergus II, King of Scotland, A.D. 404 - giving

the Fosters a Royal Ancestery. " This makes the Fosters eligible to the "Order of the Crown".

Richard Foster, son of Sir Robert Foster and Miss Isham, who sailed from London on August 10, 1635

on the ship, Safety, arriving in Virginia in the fall. That he first married an Ann and then a Sussan

Garnett and became the father of two known sons, Robert and John of Gloucester and later Essex

Peter G. FOSTER b: 22 MAR 1756 in Gloucester County, Virginia

MISC_NOTES: I have researched all the birth, marriage, death, poor people, land owners, moving into

and out of Whitchurch, Hampshire, England from 1600 to 1800 and find no evidence of my Richard born

in 1723 of coming from this area. There was a John Foster who had 7 children all christened in the local

church at Whitchurch. I no longer believe my Richard was born here. I will concentrate my efforts now

in Colonial Gloucester County, Virginia. glf

MISC_NOTES: Lived 72 years.

MISC_NOTES: Robert L. Jackson says that the father of Richard Foster (1723) is Robert Foster(1660-

1670) son of Richard Foster (1619) (the immigrant ancestor). I would like to believe this version but

Robert Foster is possibly too old (53 to 63) to father Richard in 1723 and some researchers say Richard

Foster was born in White Church, Hampshire, England? It is also suggested that Richard's wife,

Susannah Rand was age 5 to 10 when she married and that she waited 15 more years before starting to

bear children? Something is wrong with the marriage date. Also, note the difference of 6 years between

1st son Beverly Ransom Foster and next son, Peter G. Foster. Are we missing some children? glf

MISC_NOTES: Gary Foster (2001) I need to see if I can prove the possiblility that the Richard Foster,

1723 born in White Church, Hampshire, England ties into this Thomas Foster from the same place in

England. As of (15 August 2005) having just viewed many microfilms at the Family History Library in

Salt Lake City, Utah concerning all Foster's that could be found in WhitChurch, Hampshire, England it is

my conclusion that I cannot find any proof of Foster's living in, moving out, being christened, married,

died, buried or being of the poor folks. It almost appears that only a few Foster's ever lived here and

those names are recorded in the "Research Project" for Richard Foster & Susannah Rand on my

Foster and

Sussanah Ransome Foster were first cousins.

Alexander Conyers, Earl of Duncan, had a daughter named????.
She married _____Fo(r)ster. Their

son, Thomas Foster, had a son Richard. Richard had a son, John. John had 3 sons who came to VA

and settled: Joel Foster who settled on the North River in Matthews County, VA, Harold Foster who

settled in Brunswick County,VA, and Richard Foster (grandfather of Sussanah Ransome Foster) b: abt

1703, married Sussanah Rand and settled on the North River in Matthews County, VA.

Note: if the above is true then the Foster Family connection to Richard Forster / Foster b. 1619

(immigrant ancestor) is in question. glf

Sussanah and Richard Foster had two sons: Peter (m. Ann Hall) and Richard (m. Elizabeth Jordan Hall).

The women were sisters and daughters of Robert Hall and Nancy Johnston who had eloped from

England and settled in VA.

Peter and Ann were the Parents of Susannah Ransome. From this information, I believe William Harold

Foster's parents
were Richard Foster and Elizabeth Jordan. I have not confirmed this information but it

came from a good source.
Eventually these families go through Franklin County, NC.

Note: Also, I believe William Harold Foster's parents were not Richard Foster & Elizabeth Jordan but

were Beverly Ransome Foster and Elizabeth Coman. That still makes William Harold Foster and

Susannah Ransome Foster 1st cousins. Peter G. Foster had two brothers, Beverly Ransome Foster

and Richard Foster. The children of these three brothers would all be 1st cousins to each other. glf

SOURCES: The Governor's Island: Gwynn's Island, Virginia During The Revolution by Peter Jennings

$1.00 Sales Tax for VA residents

In 1776 the Royal

Governors of Virginia and Maryland, with an armada of over 100 British warships, troop transports,

supply ships and refugee vessels anchored off Gwynn's Island, Virginia. For almost two months the two

governors, British troops, marines, armed sailors, loyalist regiments, and the African-American Royal

Ethiopian Regiment confronted patriot forces. The island became the Governors' Island. This lively book

details the campaign by Virginia's Lord Dunmore and his British allies on the Chesapeake Bay in 1775

and 1776. Dunmore led military, naval and civilian forces of almost 3,000 persons from Williamsburg to

Yorktown, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Gwynn's Island and eventually Maryland. Dunmore's forces threatened

the Bay's commerce and its inhabitants' freedom. British reinforcements of men and arms gave

Dunmore the capability to subdue Virginia and other colonies. American patriots opposed Dunmore and

waited for the right circumstances to attack. The book is well researched with maps of the area in 1776,

British and American fortifications, ship illustrations and battle diagrams. British, Loyalist and American

units and participants are contained in detailed appendices. A comprehensive bibliography, endnotes

and an index complete this scholarly and readable story.

DEATH: Died at age 27. Was a Revolutionary War Soldier.

Note for: John Herod Foster, 24 APR 1773 - 28 SEP 1850

From Website at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~westxan/np63.htm#iin5281

Many sources list his middle name as Harwood, however I have faith in the research of Ray Sasser, listed

below giving the name as Herod. Some sources: LDS and Nancy Foster. On his father's death, as

eldest son, he inherited the estate and remained there until his death. He was first married to Sela

Lightfoot in 1795 and had one daughter, Nancy Harwood, before marrying Sally Braswell.
-
From Ray Sasser: "John Foster's middle name was "Herod," and he seems to have been known to family and friends simply by that name-"Herod"-and not by the name John, though official documents usually use "

John." There are other people in Brunswick, not necessarily related to Braswells, with middle names of "Herod." Why it was popular, I don't know. If the name derives originally from a family named "Harwood," this would not surprise me, but by the nineteenth century in Brunswick County, the given name was always "Harod."

Another interesting name in Brunswick County that modern researchers like to alter to fit modern

ideas was the middle name of "Hutson"; people like to change it to "Hudson." That name also pops up in the Braswell family tree."

They lived in Granville county, NC, until about 1823 when they sold their property. They

stopped in
Tennessee for a short time before moving on westward - at least one son married there --

probably lived near to one of the Fosters already in Tennessee. They next showed up in Lincoln County,

MO, about 1830 when their youngest daughter was born.

MARRIAGE: recorded 23 April 1810; surrety John Phipps; performed by Rev Cary James, Methodist.

died before1865 with no heirs since he left something to everyone else, even if he didn't like them much.

MISC_NOTES: Given and Middle names came from his father Beverly Ransome Foster. The Beverly

and Ransome surnames came from his father's lineage. glf

Parents of Nancy RAGSDALE--possibly Edward or David RAGSDALE.

DEATH: I am not sure 10 Aug 1862 is the correct date, but it is about the right time since Beverly

deeded Elizabeth Amanda the land in Nov 1862 and Nancy had died by then. This date belongs to an "

unmarked" (?unnamed) grave next to Charles Foster according to Margaret W Clare's letter (6 Aug 1993)

. She mentions Charles G and and S Charles, son of W H and M A, whoever they might be also being
