Notes for Johannes Faust: John Foust, born 1719 in Germany, immigrant with parents to Philadelphia, August 27, 1733, married 1740 Anna Barbara Albright, born 1719, daughter of Johan and Anna Barbara Albright of Lancaster and Berks Counties, Pennsylvania. John and Anna Barbara Foust lived in Berks County, Pennsylvania where all of their children were born; after disposing of their real property, they moved to Orange County, North Carolina in 1764. Records in Pennsylvania indicate that they were the parents of ten children; however, it is assumed that one child died in infancy or at an early age as only nine heirs are recorded in his will in Orange County, North Carolina. All births were recorded in the John Foust Family Bible and shown on page 20 of the Source below:
