THEY OWNED WATCH HILL
Michael and Denison received the land east of Bay Street and the remaining quarter of the Stewart land and the other half of the house.
Michael and Dennison sold their share to their uncle George Foster in 1798.
Michael lived in North Stonington for a while and then moved to Ohio.
In 1798 Thomas sold his land to Silas Babcock.

BIOGRAPHY: A watchtower and a simple beacon were first established at Watch Hill by the Rhode Island colonial government around 1745, giving the area its name, and earlier the point may have been used as a lookout by the Narragansett Indians. The watchtower and beacon were destroyed in a 1781 storm. Discussion of a lighthouse to mark the eastern entrance to Fishers Island Sound, and to warn mariners of a dangerous reef southwest of Watch Hill, began in 1793.

BIOGRAPHY: An act to build the lighthouse was signed in 1806 by President Thomas Jefferson. The government purchased four acres of land for $500 from George and Thankful Foster, and the lighthouse, Rhode Island's second after Beavertail, was erected in 1807.

BIOGRAPHY: There are Revolutionary War records for a George Foster of Westerly, Rhode Island. He was 82 in 1833. As a Private in the war, he served as a guard and quartered at Jonathan Foster's home. Watch Hill is also mentioned as the site of an encounter with British ships. No wife is listed on his paperwork.

RESIDENCES: Moved to Pennsylvania.

Married a woman named York and moved to Pennsylvania. Was probably still alive about 1840-1845 as he is said to have visited his relatives in Brooklyn, Ohio about 40 years previous to a written account of the family's history by Ebenezer Foster.

The Ancestry WorldTree has a couple of enteries for a Thomas Foster marrying Nabby York in Westerly, Rhode Island. She was born in 1766. It's not certain if this is the same Thomas Foster, however, Ebenezer Foster wrote in 1880, in his book "Early Days of the Pioneers", that his uncle Jonathan (Thomas' brother) married a YORK, so it isn't too hard to imagine that the two brothers could have married sisters or cousins.

The details given on WorldTree were as follows, in case there is ever enough convincing evidence that these were one in the same Thomas'es:

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: 1800 - Genesee, Ontario Cty, NY "Denniston Foster"

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)
