I recently may have connected my Crawford Co. FOSTER family to THOMPSON family. Would be interested in any other information that someone may have on either of these families. On this record Nancy Thompson's birth and death date match my records including her marriage to John Foster. (John was born 1810 and died 1840. It indicates that he was John Foster 2nd.) Could be that his father was a John Foster also. I need to be able to confirm this.
