Joel C Foster 1767 - 1829 |
his parents
"Joel Foster and two of his brothers, Abraham and Cyrus were the
founders of Palmyra, New York, along with William Hopkins, Elias Reeves and
Luther Sanford. Foster, Mahetable, wife of Joel, March 15, 1855, 84y Foster, Joel, Feb. 2, 1829, 61y 1m 19d e-mail from Bill Doyle: In our basement there is a tomb stone for "Deacon Joel C. Foster", with a death date of Feb. 2, 1829, 61y 1m 19d. We just wanted to let you know that our research has led us to believe that he is the 7th in descent from Christopher & Frances Foster. Our sources include the 1789 History of Wayne County New York through 1877, published by EVERTS, ENSIGN, & EVERTS of Philadelphia 1877, it's Library of Congress catalog card # is 75-37578 and a couple of websites as noted below . Included in this particular book is actually sketch of Hiram Foster, son of Deacon Joel C Foster and descriptive accounts of the Foster's pioneering efforts in New York and elsewhere. Deacon Joel C Foster, Hiram and two of his sons are original settlers of our town, Palmyra, NY in 1791 (aka the Long Island Purchase via the Southampton Company). We're still not sure why the head stone is in our basement. But, we believe that Deacon Joel C Foster is actually buried in the Palmyra NY cemetery . One other thing just crossed my mind...Do you have any pictures of Hiram or Harvey in which you have scanned that would be email-able? We have a picture from what we believe is circa 1860's with Colonel CCB Walker and many men in the front of this house. I would be curious to know if any of the men in it were Fosters. The picture was left behind in a safe and is prominently displayed in our stairway.
a place where Joel apparently spent some time 
 front hall - library - dining room  the mystery tombstone from the basement of house very difficult to read script at the bottom of the stone is, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord".
