An 1847 Brooklyn Township (Cuyahoga County, Ohio) deed lists Denison and Harriet R. Foster as sellers of property in Lot 56 to Albert Foster. This is an area along what is now Denison Avenue, in Cleveland, between W.25th and Fulton Ave. The property was bounded by Mill Street and Wood Street. The modern equivalents for Mill Street would be West 31st St. and for Wood Street would be Bradwell Ave.

Don Stormo's Burlingame Ancestors (http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=plstormo&id=I6527)
Lists Denison Foster marrying Lavina Robinson in 1834, but she doesn't die until 1849, so how does Denison marry Harriet in 1841? Either there were two Denison's in Ohio or this one does, in fact, marry these two women.

CENSUS: 1830 - Chardon, Geauga, Ohio "Denison Foster" page 252 (not sure if this is the same Dennison, but if he did marry Lavina, this would fit.) She is listed directly above him on this page.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the "History of Livingston County" (See Heritage Quest historical books), there is mention of a Denison Foster who was a town clerk in 1800 when the town was first laid out. He is again mentioned as running a tavern (though it seemed that he did not own the building) in 1807.

OCCUPATION: Carpenter

Foster/Forester : In the English Middle Ages, the forests and woods were almost always owned or controlled by the lord of the manor -- but people had no reservations about sneaking in and taking firewood, game, or whatever else they might require. To keep the poaching to a minimum, the lord retained a man to watch the forest -- often called a Forester, and sometimes called a Foster. The name stuck as an English Occupation surname when they became adopted.

Abigail and Michael had ELEVEN children when they arrived in Brooklyn, Ohio.

It was the convention of the times to use the mother's maiden name as the middle name for a child. With that in mind, Michael B. Foster was probably named Michael Billings Foster.

NOTE:
Brooklyn history, as noted in Abigail Fish Foster's notes, states that the family left Groton for Ohio in 1826. If that is the case, how then could Michael's gravestone show an internment date of 1824? My guess would be that the history is in error.

DEATH: Was sick with a fever for four or five days, then died.

"Memorial To The Pioneer Women Of The Western Reserve", 1896
Mentions that Abigail and Michael Foster arrived in Cuyahoga County with 11 children and specifies 5 female names (Eveline, Sally, Eunice, Nancy, and Matilda). This child's name has not appeared in any books or documents, thus far searched.
[UPDATE: The name Lydia is mentioned in a book by Ebenezer Foster, "Early Days of the Pioneers Cuyahoga County and Brooklyn Township", 1880.
"A short time after father was married, they moved about twenty miles away, rented a house somewhere between Norwich and Preston City and kept a grocery store. While there, they lost their second born, a little girl, Lydia Foster."]

I originally had Sally's birth year estimated at 1813, but if her marriage date is correct, she would have been far too young to marry, especially to a man who was 45 at the time. It is more likely that she is one of the older children of Michael and Abigail and probably born prior to 1807.

MARRIAGE: She married Lathrop Pixley per LDS records in the IGI for 06 OCT 1825 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.

MARRIAGE: FOSTER, SALLY and PILEY, LATHROP vol.0002 pg.0075 (Cuyahoga County Marriage Index)


Had nine children, six of whom survived to adulthood, per a book written by her brother, Ebenezer, titled: "Early Days of the Pioneers", 1880.

According to the Brainard Genealogy by Lucille Brainerd, he lived in Concord near Painesville, Ohio but I show him as owning and living on a parcel of land on the south side of Denison Ave east of W14th St. He appears in the 1840, 1850, and 1860 census in Brooklyn Township. I am reasonably certain that her enteries in the book for Concord are an error. All of his children would have been born in Brooklyn and not Concord as she states. She also says that Charles W. is adopted. I have no further information on him.

The FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v5.0 provides an estimated birth year of 1810 and place as Hinckley, Medina, Ohio. That location seems unlikely because her father is listed in the 1820 census in Groton, Connecticut. Another entry estimates her birth for 1814. I've chosen to use that one since her brother, Ebenezer was born in 1810.


Four children.

The 1860 Census has a couple, Albert and Charlotte, and their five children living in Wingville, Grant County, Wisconsin. Albert is a stone mason. Their ages seem appropriate and two of their children are shown as having been born in Ohio. None of the children are named Alonzo, though. He would have been 15 years old in 1860. Old enough to be out on his own? The five children are named: Elizabeth (age 14 - Ohio), Naeiah E. (age 9 - Ohio), Cecilia M. (age 5 - Wisc.), Oliver L. (age3 - Wisc.), Henry B. (age 5/12 - Wisc.). If this is, in fact, the right family, then it would appear that Albert and Charlotte moved from Ohio by 1854/55.

His wife died in 1865 in Montfort, Wisconsin which is just a short distance east of Wingville.

In the 1870 Census, Albert would already be dead, but there is an Alonzo, age 25 and born in Ohio, living in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. He is a stone mason. The next name is hard to make out. Might be Jennie, age 19. Another female, age 15 named Alia. Are these siblings rather than a husband and wife?

In the 1910 Census, Alonzo is living in Boulder, Colorado with wife Dora and two sons, Wesley and Wilber. Dora is shown as being the mother of 5, with 5 still living though only two are living with them.

RESIDENCES:
1850 - Brooklyn, Cuyahoga, Ohio (probably on Newburgh St -- now Denison Ave.)
1860 - Wingville, Grant, Wisconsin (probably moved here about 1854)
1867 - Mt. Vernon, Black Hawk, Iowa (probably moved here in 1865, after his wife died, to be with his son)

SOURCE_OF_NAME: At the time of the 1850 Census, there is no Julia listed with for Lathrop and Sally Foster ( though she may be living elsewhere), but by the time of the 1870 Census, she is shown living with Leonard Pixley and his wife, Alice. She is listed simply as Julia, so the assumption is made that she is a Pixley. She is about 6 years older than Leonard, so may have been born in 1829. If so, it means her mother may only have been 16-17 years old at the time she was born. An alternative theory is that she was the wife of one of Leonard's brothers who has passed on so she came to live with her in-laws.

BIOGRAPHY: Hanna A. FOSTER, daughter of Betsey HULET FOSTER, should not be omitted from this memorial, originated and sponsored by Cleveland women, with whom she has long been intimately associated, and by whom she is admired and loved. A valued member of the Ohio Woman’s Press Club, a poet of more than local reputation, gentle, refined, and unselfish to the degree of immolation, her life has been one of devotion to others. At the celebration of Cleveland’s Centennial birthday, she easily won the prize offered for the best written ode for the occasion. As non de plumes were signed to all the poems, the judges had no idea to whom they belonged until after a decision had been reached.
Miss FOSTER’s dainty verse and prose have not only graced the pages of print, but have contributed much to the pleasure of church anniversaries and college reunions in the town in which she resides.

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.

BIOGRAPHY: FOSTER, LEONARD GURLEY (10 Sept. 1840-13 Dec. 1937) was a CIVIL WAR veteran whose avocation brought him the epithet, "the Buckeye poet." Born on the family homestead in the Cuyahoga Valley near Denison Ave., he was educated at HUMISTON INSTITUTE and Berea College. He was principal at Tremont School from 1860-64, after which he served with the 8th Ohio Battery on Johnson's Island. Foster also actively worked the family farm, which inspired many of his verses on nature. A veteran of the first Chautauqua meeting in 1874, he remained active in the movement as a speaker and contributor of poetry. He wrote an estimated 80,000 verses in his lifetime, including 47 volumes of poems in manuscript which he presented to the WESTERN RESERVE HISTORICAL SOCIETY His published volumes included Whisperings of Nature (1893) and The Early Days: A Pioneer Idyl (1911). Many of his poems were also published in the CLEVELAND NEWS and the CLEVELAND TIMES (1922) . He was the first clerk of the Brooklyn Village council and the second last survivor of the Brooklyn Post, G.A.R. Married to Lyde Holmden, Foster was survived by one of their 3 children. His brothers Edwin J. and Henry E. were Cleveland lawyers, the former having published verse and the latter a 1900 political campaign tract. His sister Hanna Alice Foster was a temperance worker and poet as well.

BIOGRAPHY: First village recorder for Brooklyn Village (Centre), Cuyahoga County, Ohio.

BIOGRAPHY: Note -- there seems to be some confusion about the siblings of these Foster poets. See notes for Edwin J. Foster (son of Nathan Foster) for further mention of this problem. Leonard, the son of Ebenezer who lived near Denison Ave., would have been born in the location as stated above, but to my knowledge, there were no siblings named Henry or Hanna, while Nathan Foster did have children with those names, but no Leonard. Very confusing.

OBIT: Name: Foote, Ellen

Notes: Foote: Ellen, age 83 years, sister of Mrs. George Arnold (nee Foote) (deceased), and Susan Foote (deceased). Now at Wm. Daniels Funeral Home, 15800 Detroit Ave., where services will be held Wednesday, May 9, at 1 p. m.

The 1860 Census has a couple, Albert and Charlotte, and their five children living in Wingville, Grant County, Wisconsin. Albert is a stone mason. Their ages seem appropriate and two of their children are shown as having been born in Ohio. None of the children are named Alonzo, though. He would have been 15 years old in 1860. Old enough to be out on his own? The five children are named: Elizabeth (age 14), Naeiah E. (age 9), Cecilia M. (age 5), Oliver L. (age3), Henry B. (age 5/12).

In the 1870 Census, Albert would already be dead, but there is an Alonzo, age 25 and born in Ohio, living in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. He is a stone mason. The next name is hard to make out. Might be Jennie, age 19. Another female, age 15 named Alia. Are these siblings rather than a husband and wife?

In the 1910 Census, Alonzo is living in Boulder, Colorado with wife Dora and two sons, Wesley and Wilber. Dora is shown as being the mother of 5, with 5 still living though only two are living with them.
