P.S. I see your name is Haynes, is that through birth or marriage?
I am also a Haynes, descended from Haynes' on both sides of my paternal grandparent's sides.
Vanessa (LeeHaynes is just a username, Lee is my middle name, and Haynes of course is my maiden name).

Hi Ruth,
I believe I have the info you may be looking for. Andrew & Ann (Alcock) Foster had a total of 5 children.
they were: (all were born in Andover, MA, if no place of death is listed, they also died in Andover. If not known, I will state UNK.
Andrew Foster Jr. b. 1640 d. 7 May 1685
Sarah Foster b. 23 May 1642 d. 1684 Groton, MA
Abraham Foster b. 1648 d. 9 Oct 1723
Hannah Foster b. 1650 d. 20 Apr 1689
Mary Foster b. 9 Jul 1652 d. 17 Jul 1707

I am a direct ancestor of Andrew & Ann Foster. I used to joke about witches in our family. The ironic thing is, the husband of one of my good friends is a direct descendant of
Jonathan Corwin, who was one of the Judges over the Salem Witch trials.

Anyway, I have more info on the family, I will be more than happy to share with you. You may also visit my site from which this information is stored.
