1. REGINALD FOSTER (see English Fosters elsewhere for his ancestors),
b. England abt . 1595; m. there _______ ; m. 2d, Judith _______ ; d. Oct., 1664; m. 3d, Sept. 19, 1665, Mrs. Sarah (White) Martin, wid. of John. She was widow of John Martin, of Ipswich. After Reginald's death she m. a third time, Sept. 21, 1682, William White, of Haverhill. She was his second wife. She d. Feb. 22, 1683. Sarah Martin was the second wife of John Martin, of Charlestown, a ship-carpenter, who was a nephew of Priscilla Upham.

From an other authority we have this: "Reginald Foster, of Little Badow, Co. Essex, England; landed in Ipswich, Mass., in 1638. He belonged to the Foster family of Bam borough and Etherstone Castle, Co., Northumberland. Reginald brought with him five sons and two daughters."

Savage says. "Now this unusual blessing of fruit in old age, when the last ch. came fifty-six years after the first, I doubted, might have arisen from mistake, and that both the last ws. and their offspring should really belong to his s. Reginald, wh. might well have had Judith to w. bef. he took Eliz Dane, and after d. of the latter have m. Sarah Martin, inasmuch as Sen. and Jr. are changeable characters, and he wh. was Jr. on the d. of his f. would be call. Sen. But this explanat. is not receivab. bee. the first Reginald d. 1681, as we infer from the date of inv. 3o May in this yr., and the Prob. rec. of Ins will of 3o Apr. bef. proving that he left w. Saran. and ch. Abraham, Renold, Sarah, w. William Story, Isaac, Jacob, William, and Mary, w. of Francis Peabody."

He came from England, it is said, in 1638, and had a grant of land in Ipswich, April 6, 1641. He brought with him his seven children by his first wife. At his death, in 1681, his wife's name was Sarah. This fact is mentioned, as it is stated by some historians, that he did not marry a third time. At his death his children mentioned in the will were Abraham, Renold, Sarah, wife of Wm. Story, Isaac, Jacob, William, and Mary, wife of Francis Peabody. It 1s remarkable of this family that they all lived to extreme old age,all married and all had large families, from which are descended a very numerous progeny, which in every case has been highly respected.

In the Ipswich records we find Goodman Foster, referring to Reginald, whose name is somtimes abreviated Renald. He resided near the "East Bridge," which was where the stone bridge now is, but whether his residence was where the ruins of the "Old Foster House" yet stood, I have not learned. Under date of April 6, 1641. is "granted to Reginald Foster eight acres of meadow in the west meadow if any remain there ungranted. in consideration of a little hovel that stood at the new bridge, which was taken away for the accomodation of the passage there." Whatever facts we have of them are gleaned from the town and county records, which show him to have been a very active man. The danger from Indians in those early days was such that in the year 1645 a law was passed requiring the "youth from ten to sixteen years to be experienced with small guns, half pikes, bows and arrows, and also that every town is to have a guard set a half hour after sunset, to consist of a pikeman and musketeer, and to prepare for any sudden attack from the Indians. Reginald Foster, Dec. 19, 1645, subscribed with others his proportion of three shillings towards the sum of ^24, 7sh "to pay their leader, Major Dennison," who then commanded the military forces of Essex and Norfolk counties. He bought of Ralph Dix, of Ipswich, 8 March, 1647-8, "all his six acre lott he" (Dix) "bought of Wm. White, lying in the common field on the north side of the river, bounded on the land of Thomas Smyth, Humphrey Broadstreet and Robert Lord." We find no mention of him again until 1652, when it was granted Thomas Clark and Reginald Foster, that when they shall have cut through a passage from this river into Chebacco River of ten feet wide and soe deepe as a lighter may pass through laden, and to make a ford and footbridge over, that then the town have given unto them grow towards said passage." On 3 June of the same year he was a witness to the will of William Averrill, of Ipswich. He bought of Roger Preston, 1 1 March. 16578, for Usu, his dwelling house, house lot, barn and other buildings, also another house lot, with gardens, orchards etc., which Preston bought of Rob1 1 Wallis, situated on the north side of the river, and one planting lot of three acres , on the north side of Town Hill, bounded on the land of widow Rose Whipple, Andrew Hodges, John Morse, and Tread well. The houses were on "the High Street" probably at the east endand in the vicinity of the ancient dwelling house of Rev. Mr. Norton, which yet stands. He had also a house lot near the "meeting-honse green." On 29 September, 1663, he was an appraiser of the estate of Robert Roberts. Reginald Foster was married when he came to this country. He d. in 1681; res. Ipswich, Mass.

2. i. MARY, b. England, abt . 1618; m. Wood and Lieut . Francis Peabody. b. 1614 He was from Ft. Albans, Wertfordshire, England, and came to New England in the ship "Planter," Nicholas Trarice, master, in 1635. He was a husbandman and was then twenty-one years of age. He was one of the original settlers in Hampton, N. H., with Rev. Stephen Bachiler and resided there for many years, finally removing to Topsfield, Mass. He was chosen to "ende small causes" by the people of Hampton, and confirmed in that office by the justices of the court. He was a large land owner in Topsfield, Boxford and Rowley. He d. Feb. 19, 1697. She d. April 9, 1705. They had fourteen children...

Reginald Foster came to America in one of the vessels embargoed by King Charles I, accompanied by his wife, Judith, five sons and two daughters, and settled in Ipswich, Mass., about the year 1638, and was one of the earliest inhabitants of that town. His English ancestry, beginning with his father, was as follows: Thomas, Cuthbert, Sir Thomas, Sir Thomas, Sir Thomas, Sir Thomas, Sir Thomas, Sir William, Sir Richard, Sir Reginald, Sir Alfred, Sir Randolph, Sir John, Sir William, Sir Reginald, Sir Hugo, and Sir Richard. A sister of Sir Richard, named Matilda or Maude, was the wife of William I, the Conqueror, King of England. From Sir Richard Forester sprung the Blake Foresters of Ashfield and Knockmoy Abbey, County of Galway, and Inchorey Castle, County of Clare; also the Foresters of Etherston and Bamborough Castle in Northumberland, who are so vividly described in the historical novel, "Dorothy Forster," by Sir Walter Besant, the celebrated English novelist.

Reginald Foster d. in 1681, at over eighty years of age. His will was proved June 9, 1681. His children were: Mary, Sarah, Abraham, Isaac, William, Jacob and Reginald, all of whom were born in England between 1618 and 1636. Each of the children had families of from nine to fourteen children, many of whom settled in Ipswich, Boxford, Andover and vicinity towns of Mass. It is, therefore, evident that Reginald Foster has a numerous posterity widely scattered. Many have attained national distinction, among them having been U. S. Senator Lafayette Sabine Foster of Conn. and U. S. Senator Addison G. Foster of Wash.
