Holiday gift for Foster researchers in Dekalb County: George FOSTER (b. Dec. 16, 1772 London d. c1839 Warren?
Co., TN), married twice: 1. Agnes MITCHELL (b. c1777 VA, d. c1806 TN) m. on June 6, 1796 in Prince Edward Co.,
VA. Her parents were John MITCHELL and Elizabeth (PAMPLETT) JACKSON. (John MITCHELL previously married to Mary
FOSTER, daughter of William FOSTER & Ann BOOKER. Elizabeth PAMPLETT previously married to Hezekiah JACKSON).
2. Sarah A. WOMACK (b. 1789 GA d. after 1850 TN?) m. about 1807 in Franklin Co., TN. Parents were Abraham WOMACK
and Martha WATKINS. George's intermarriage into the family of John FOSTER & Ann BOOKER explains a lot of researcher
