Hi !
Try googling in Patricia P. Dreibilbis. That’s direct.
I just found my Foster Connection ( who married the Daniel line)
But, I found my gggg-gm Edith Ledbetter was the daughter of Charles Ledbetter
and Frances Randall. Charles descends from Francis Ledbetter who married Martha Jones.
She was , according to a post on line , the daughter of Thomas Jones and
Elizabeth Ledbetter. They are also listed on JONES TRANSPORT website.
there are alot of Jones listed there with names of persons who transported them and dates.
Last year I did alot of research on the Richard, Peter and Wm Jones lines.
I made charts to help me figure out the different connections with spouses names
and descendents and dates. I’ll post that as soon.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
One of the Fosters in my mother’s family, Cora Bell Foster,left a record with the local library and a detailed history of my great-grandmother, Sarah Foster’s ancestry.
She descends from Richard Foster and Margaret LNU ( maybe Maudlin) who arrived in Bristol, Va 1660. Richard was indentured for four years to Thomas Willis.
They were both mariners. He shows up in Albermarle, NC c. 1677 1679 ( During Culpepper’s Rebellion) . Thomas Willis was in the area and fled the area at that time.
He had two sons named Richard , Jr.and Robert. They were living in Bertie County, NC 1723 to 1740 as witnesses on land leases.
Richard Jr and his son, Richard III were living in Granville, NC and on tax lists for 1769, 1771 and 1774. ( Early Granville records were destroyed in a fire and a few that were saved were recorded again.)
One shows Richard Jr ( father) who died July 30, 1774, LW&T mentions , Mary Foster ,
his daughter. No wife’s name. His son Richard III was listed in Granville, NC on September 14, 1774. then he moved to Orange County in 1779.
In 1781 Richard Foster enlisted in Doherty’s unit in the American Revolutionary War
as a private.He served for one year from May 25, 1782 until his discharge in Halifax on July 25, 1783.
He was paid 32.20 pounds.
He bought 50 acres of land on Back Creek for two ” hogsheads of tobacco”.
In 1787 he paid ninety pounds for 216 acres. In 1799 he bought land in Rowan County, NC. He bought 333 acres for 326 pounds.
Richard moved from Rowan in 1801 to an area called the ” Forks of the Yadkin” which became Davie County, NC in 1836.
In 1800 he was on the Census in Rowan with his son. He moved the family to Rowan.
Richard (father) later, moved to Wake County, NC . His LW&T was probated 1810.
His son Richard was in the War of 1812. He was part of the Rowan 4th regiment
commanded by Brigadier General Thomas Davis . Richard wrote his LW&T on August 9, 1808. It was probated 1814. The Will lists his wife, Barbara, and his son, DanielFoster ( b1788) m. 1818 to Mary ‘Polly’ Daniel.
He received 100 acres from his father and any remainder of his mother’s when she died. Daniel and ” Polly” were listed as having a son, Ransom Foster ( already married to #1 Sarah Eliza Daniel m. February 17, 1822 and ) His #2 wife was 20 yrs his junior, m. March 16, 1871. ) Nancy Emaline Sutton.
Besides Ransom , Daniel and ” Polly had : 2. Wellborne 3. Andrew and 4. Sarah Ann Foster , my great grandmother who married May 1856 to Morgan Gene Howard (CSA) 42nd Regiment. These family members lived in the Jerusalem Township area of Davie County, NC.
That’s all I know but, I have names of Ransom’s children by both wives if anyone wants them.
I think Ransom is a surname of one of the unknown grandmothers.

Hey Magnolia, good to see you ’round. That’s a very well documented family. They went from indentured servants to significant landowners in three generations. And people wonder why there was such a land rush to these shores. Do you have any sense there were any natives married into this family?

Hi ! Linda,
I’m searching that alot.
I did find data on a Richard Foster on (Wake County/ Currituck, NC) that circa 1622/1644 there was a Diana Foster . She’s the one I researched alot and found she had three husbands in Albermarle. Alot of people are looking for her maiden name. i just found it. it was Manners .Diana was married to : Patrick White, Wm or Richard Foster and a FNU Harris. She had a son named John Harris. They are also associated with an Anthony Foster ( Currituck, Wake, Brunswick and Raleigh mentioned).
Also, My Richard Foster ( according to Cora Bell Foster ( niece of my GG-GF)_ Davie County Library PDF , NC)
he may have left Bristol, Va. The Complete Book of Immigrants 1601-1660 lists him)
There was a Bristol Parish in VA.
Anyway, I found Giles Foster married in Rowan, NC 1-30-1824 to Sarah Bailey. There was a George Foster in Va who was related to a Giles Foster ( earlier ) So, I think that’s how Giles got his name. My gg-grandfather, Daniel Foster, born 1788 ( Granville, NC -because the family didn’t move to Rowan until a couple of years later) had a brother, Ransom Foster who named one of his sons Giles F. Foster,
Giles had siblings: Miles A. , Sneed A., Daniel Wm , Sarah U.( not a V). All these children are from Sarah Eliza Daniel his first wife who he married on Feb. 17, 1845.
On March 16, 1871 Ransom m. #2 wife_ Nancy Emaline Sutton . They had Samuel Thomas , Cora Bell and Mary C. Giles is living at home and age 22 yrs. the three
half – siblings were very young.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I found a Noah Bailey from Caswell Co. and Betsey Ransom m. 09-05-1809. in Rowan. Another – Noah Bailey ( JR?) 12-11-1828 Stokes Co., married Catherine Sizemore. Sizemores are Native American.
Then there was a Ransom Bailey 02-05-1852 , Granville Co, married a Fanny Shaver.
1809, 1828, 1852 look like they are in the same family.
There is also a Sanford Bailey, Davie Co. , and an Emaline Foster marriage 02-05-1852.
There is a Mrs. Mary Foster m. Halifax Co., NC 11-30-1854 to Thomas Foster.
Green Bailey + Polly Foster -Rowan- 12-13-1824.
JoAnna ( Johannah) Bailey_ John Foster , Rowan, 03-03-1797.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..
I found a James Foster 1686-1749 in Glouchester 2nd child of Robert Foster, Sr. b. Essex Co, VA. James mother was Elizabeth Charlesworth m. 03-17-1718 ( relinquished dower rights)
James m. #1 Eliz
#2 was a Martha LNU and had 3 chcildren !. THomas, 2. George, 3. James.
I think this is the George/ Giles .
George b. 1713 Glouchester, d. 1772 VA m. 1747 in Glouchester or Amelia to Mary Forrest ( d/o Abraham & Judith LNU).
I did find a record of a Richard Foster who was a debtor in Va and was going back to england for 5 yrs. . I don’t know the connection. but, in the Combs research c. 1657 an Ann Rogers m. a Smyth and had a son Thomas S. who had a tutor for several years named Richard Foster i(n England).
Then, I found a Richard Foster indebted to James Warner ( Amazing! I descend from James Warner’s daughter Catherine Warner who married Samuel Howard, son of the Immigrant-Matthew Howard. ) James Warner’s wife, was Elizabeth Harris ( a widow-Harris – a married name) . I don’t know the name of the Harris she married .
