JOHN FOLSTER (1776-1871)
Re: JOHN FOLSTER (1776-1871)
Justs did a little of my own research on the net.
Family search has records for three children born to a John Folster and Elspeth Byas(Bias). However, there is not connection to our John here.
I did come across a family tree with this information:
