Thanks Terry for the Foster information. I recently spoke with a lady named
Frances, and I hope she joins our list as some of her lines include Foster,
Suggs and Reynolds and all the other ones that weave in and out of Dickson Co.
LOL

Frances informed me that Willis Foster is really John Willis Foster. She
didn't have a listing of a Noah, however, I found on the 1850 census that a
Noah Foster age 21 married to Ann age 20 was living next door to Willis and
family. Going by the ages, Noah could possibly be the oldest sibling or some
other relation. Does anyone have a reference source about Noah? ( I will try
to dig and see if she sent me information with sources on it.)

Malinda Jane: I have her listed as Nancy Jane, however on the 1850 census she
is referred to as Jane. Is it Malinda or Nancy or just Jane?

Listed below is the listing on the 1850 census:
#611
Willis Foster age 42
Polly age 39
Jane age 18
Franklin age16
James W. age 14
Sarah E. age 12
Andrew J. age 6
Mary E. age 8
Dilly A. age 5
Willis A. age 3
William A. age 2

#612
Noah Foster age 21
Ann age 20

Thanks again, Terry!
