Notes
a. Note:   A.S. FOSTER, farmer, was born May 9, 1816, in Lincoln Co.. While growing he strongly desired an education, but the opportunities were not afforded. In 1836 he wedded Martha M. Cunningham, and nine children blessed this union. In 1883 his wife died, and the same year he wedded Fannie L. J. Foster. Our subject is a Democrat and a member of the Primitive Baptist Church. He has been magistrate and deputy sheriff, and is an example of what a young man of industry and determination can do, having started to keeping house with less than $100 worth of property, he arose by hard work and close attention to business to one of the heaviest tax payers of his community. For about thirty two years he has lived in this Co., and is accounted a food farmer and an enterprising citizen. He is a son of Frederick and Sallie (Broadaway) Foster. The father was born in 1798 in Kentucky, and the mother in 1797 in North Carolina. They were married in 1813, and located in Lincoln Co., but soon moved to Illinois, where they remained seven years. They then returned to Lincoln Co., where they spent the remainder of their lives tilling the soil. The father was a soldier in the Creek war, and a Democrat in politics. He died in 1838, and the mother followed in 1857.
