FOUND_AT: NOTE: The above information about siblings seems at odds with what is known of this family and may be a mixture of children from the Nathan Foster/Abigail Fish union and the Ebenezer Foster/Almira Williams union -- both couples having had a son named Edwin. Leonard G. Foster, mentioned above, was the son of Ebenezer, while Hanna was the daughter of Nathan.

CAUTION: The HULET family tree, as found in the WorldConnect tree at Ancestry.com, lists Athene and Merlyn as children of both Edwin J. Foster and his brother, Henry Foster. It's possible that whomever collected the family information saw some of these names on a census or a headstone and assumed they were Henry's children, or one of the brothers adopted the children when the parents died? This connection needs to be followed up upon.
