Notes
a. Note:   John Foust (born 1787) was the second son of Jacob Foust and Christina Alspach. He was born in 1787 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. He came to Ohio with his parents in 1802. John was twice married and was the father of 19 children. John Foust lived in Westfield Twp., Morrow Co., Ohio and did the surveying for the government for the Military Road which ran through Delaware, Morrow, and Richland Counties. It is now Route 42 and for many years was the main north/south road through the state of Ohio. He later worked at leaching out ashes and making soap at an ashery in Westfield, Ohio (his son Samuel's ashery?) and it is said that none of his large family ever went hungry. John was also a part-time dentist and taught his son, William, the art of teeth extraction.
  Much Foust Family History material from Lucy Weaver and from Dr. Howard Faust's great work entitled "Faust/Foust Family in Germany and America.
  From the abstracts of the War of 1812 Pensioner records:
  FOUST, JOHN, Dorcas (Place) 2nd wife, WC-19215, m 21 May 1826 Delaware Cty OH, sd 7 Sep 1869 in Morrow Cty OH, wd 26 Jan 1885, srv William S. Drake's & Lt John Milliken's Co's OH Mil, lived Morrow Cty OH.
  It would appear that he was named after his uncle, John George Foust of Fairfield County, Ohio.
  From THE HISTORY OF MORROW COUNTY-REPRINT OF 1880, Page 322:
  "..in the fall of 1822 there was an extensive migration to (Peru Township, Morrow County, Ohio). Among the earliest of those who came at this time were the Foust families. Jacob Foust Jr., had come early to Peru with his brother John, and came through this locality as early as 1814 with the surveyor that ran out the Delaware and Mansfield Road. Later their father, Jacob Foust Sr., with the rest of the family, came and took up residence in Peru. The family was originally from Berks County, Pennsylvania, and settled first in Muskingum County. In 1822, desiring to find more room, they came to Cardington, Jacob Foust Sr., entering a farm situated on the banks of the Whetstone, where Jonas now lives.
  Another family was that of the Ely's, They came originally from Pennsylvania to Sunbury Township, in Delaware County, where they remained until the summer of 1822, when Michael, with his son Peter and his family came to Cardington and entered into an eighty-acre farm on lot 28, east of the Fousts, where the elder Ely lived until his death."
